The Engineering
The process
• First I explored with the engine and codebase to make sure I understood how it worked.
• Then, I was able to design and hand draw the textures for the dragons
• To help create a good experience, I made a moodboard to help aid in making enemies cohesive
• Finally, using the moodboard, I constantly balanced the enemies through playtests to ensure a smooth progression for players
The Design
• After looking at player data the team realized many players quit in the first day of gameplay.
• Deciding it might be because of the onboarding experience being confusing, I decided to tackle the problem of cleaning up and making the FTUE intuitive.
• Here are some examples of designs I made and implemented in to the game. Clicking a specific trigger to advance
• Different colors mean different things.
