Project Overview

The Team Builder allows players to create and manage teams for Illuvium Arena's Ascendant mode. Players can select from Illuvials, Augments, Armaments, and Armour to strategically form their team. The feature was launched during Beta 3.

My Work

• Designing from Scratch: Created the UX/UI for the entire system, including key features such as:

  • Team Creation: Designing the process for creating and editing teams.

  • Team Display: Developed the layout for viewing and managing team compositions.

  • Importing Teams: Designed an intuitive import function for pre-configured teams.

  • Browsing Cards: Implemented navigation for browsing Illuvials, Augments, and their respective stats.

  
  

Outcome

The Team Builder was extensively used during Beta 3 but required adjustments. The main issue was that the complexity of game rules required players to exit the game to create teams, which interrupted the gameplay flow. The system is currently being reworked to improve immersion and integration.

Learnings

Designing for complex game mechanics posed unique challenges, especially when it came to deciding what information should be shown on hover and at various levels of the hierarchy. Balancing usability with the intricate rules of Illuvium Arena was a key learning experience in this project.
