My Contributions

I worked as the Game Designer and VFX artist, helping to brainstorm and iterate on gameplay features, UI & UX experience, quest and level design
I worked closely with programmers when designing features, ensuring the features reached both feasibility and bringing the best experience
I worked with another designer to develop the datasheets, storing data from the game such as Recipes, Unit Health, DMG, Program Features, Tags, Unlock Requirements etc.
I calculated the unit strength and balanced the dungeon difficulty based on that
I implemented various features, including VFXs on individual cards, some of the enemy unit skill programs, audio etc.
