Designing Process
A 2.5D Run and Gun, mixing magic elements with steampunk robotics.
This game is a group project, with me being the level designer, SFX designer and VFX designer for this game and it is unique due to my first attempt at VFX for a project thus far. The design went from originally having multiple elements such as Arcane, Fire, Ice and Lightning, these elements would change to only consist of Arcane and Fire with room for additional elements and areas to be implemented.
Below is the game design document that I made for the group to view, allowing them to understand how to implement their parts according to the game's overall idea and its core game loop.
