Just one more and I'm done

About me

I'm Aleix Castillo and I have been one of the designers of this team. As a designer, my tasks were devising and transmitting the bases of the basic elements such as relics, damage of the characters and general design elements of the game, together with the different reworks and iterations that these involve.

For this project and with the situation in which we have found ourselves without being able to open the engine, my main work has been research and iterating the different design bases, mainly what has reference in combat.

Concept Discovery

This is the starting point, where I personally was in charge of proposing different balancing and progression options for the game.

For this task I took three very different games as reference:

Project overview

Balancing & Progression design

In the beginning of this project I took care of the bases of the relics, the starting idea of Necklaces and the damage of the characters along with their damage by combos.

Also implemented the bases of the stats of the characters and all the enemies.

With another designer we made the list of relics, their functions and their drop and spawn rate.

Also implemented the bases of the stats of the characters and the enemies.

  • Geralt
  • Yennefer
  • Ghoul
  • Nilfgaard Soldier

    Combat

    For the general combat I did a research of the combat style of similar games and how it works, the conlusion was the battle circle.

    Also I took part of the design of how enemies will interact with the player as a linear combat or ambush, after that I design the first iteration of how the enemies will appear at level 1.

    Ult charging and managment

  • On player hit
  • Playstyle

    • In this area I did the rework of the Yennefer Ultimate as a cooperative and single player ability.

    Scoreboard

    After researching how the scores boards of similiar games works, we design a scoring system with the next components:

  • Time
  • Life
  • Kills
  • Difficulty
  • Actions

    • Balancing & Playtest

    At the last stage of the project my work was balancing the previous stats of the characters and relics.

    Also I managed two playtest sessions with an exhaustive report of bugs together with some particles that had to be done and some bug fixes of the results of the playtest.
