Fire Of London

The Great Fire of London is an educational game designed to inform players about the key events surrounding the Great Fire of London. This game was originally created using Flash and we were tasked recreating the experience within HTML5 following the end of the Flash Era. This reimagining of the project was created to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London. We worked closely with The Museum of London to understand what they needed from the final product of this project. The new games had to be web complaint on both mobile and desktop devices, as well as being fully accessible for the users. The client was able to provide the original product and some of the original assets but unfortunately not the original source. This meant that we had to reverse engineer the product based upon on our experience with the original. Alongside recreating the original product for modern environments, we also made design decisions in order to make the product more compatible and user friendly on mobile devices. These design decisions also allowed us to comfortably meet the accessibility requirements. The Great Fire of London is available on your web browser right now!
