Two open pages from a hardcover notebook by Duncan Murray containing story outlines, maps, alphabets, chapter drafts, storyboards and character sketches for the fantasy video game Jewels of the White Flame, later released as The Lost Sword (1985). The volume offers a rare glimpse into early pre-digital game development processes, when design and world-building were first realised on paper. The drawings are clear and well-realised, and the notebook carries distinctively human touches, such as the misspelling of ‘siege’.
