Design Notes

My primary goals with CyBall were to expand upon its existing designs and introduce fun, new content.​

​

After receiving the project, I reviewed and playtested several dozens of playable cards, then tweaked them over and over again until they felt balanced. I also designed new cards that fit into the gameplay and interactions of existing cards.​

​

In addition, I worked closely with animators and engineers to refine the placement, sizing, and effects of the game's UI. The screen elements in my mockups included the player's hand of cards, mana tracker, scoreboard, character icons, and post-match stats.
