Intentions​

Destroy the bridge with explosives recovered in the fort of an enemy city

Context

The assassin is from mongolian origins and is a member of the Golden Horde during the Mongol invasion of Europe. The mission is playable in the first part of the game.

​

The Golden Horde asks us to infiltrate the fort near Klodzko, Poland. We must recover explosives taken by the enemy soldiers. The enemy army is preparing to move out and fight the Horde.

 

We are tasked with destroying the bridge found to the northeast of the city in order to stop reinforcements from leaving the city.

Other development informations

Ameliorations I'd like to make

  • Add more gameplay design. Especially the three entrances and the inside of the fort

  • Make use of a bigger part of the town for this mission

  • Add more backstreets and places where people would meet up (markets, ...)

Challenges and solutions

  • Making both the city feel authentic to the real one of the past and make it correcly serve the gameplay was a challenge. To help us, we made more research on the history of the place and on the making of the Assassin's Creed games.

  • A big challenge was to finish the mission design at home. Right in the middle of the project, the school closed due to the Covid 19. My teammate and I still made sure to finish our map and design documents remotely as if nothing had happened with the limited tools we had in order to still meet our initial delivery date.
