Alex Beachum Biography

Alex Beachum is the creative designer of the highly-anticipated space exploration game Outer Wilds which won the Grand Prize at the 2015 Independent Games Festival.
Outer Wilds is an open world exploration indie video game. In the game the player-character finds themselves on a planet with only 20 minutes before the local sun goes supernova and kills them; the player continually repeats this 20-minute cycle but learning details that can help alter the outcome on later playthroughs. The game won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize and Excellence in Design at the 2015 Independent Games Festival Awards.
Outer Wilds began as Alex Beachum's USC Interactive Media & Games Division master's thesis and grew into a full-production commercial release. He started the project in late 2012 for his yearlong thesis and Advanced Game Project assignment. Beachum had previously made a three-dimensional platformer out of Lego bricks as a kid and was uninterested in a career in games until applying to the Interactive Media program. The original team members were University of Southern California Laguna College of Art and Design and Atlantic University College students.
