Systems DesignProgressionSurvivalNarrative Through Mechanics
Problem
I didn't have the skills to create 2D art for a game and wanted to try an experiment.
Solution
Used AI to generate all 2D assets for the game and the created it into a game through mechanics. Playtested and iterated over multiple sessions.
Role
Core designer and developer for game systems and progression structure.
Outcomes
Released project onto itch.io and taught me how to build smaller more focused games.
Lessons Learned
- A clear progression metaphor helps players understand complex resource chains faster.
- When systems carry the theme, design decisions become easier to validate and prioritize.
- Using AI you can make all the graphics for a game, if it's 2D.
