Elementile

• Concepter & Designer

Elementile is a project I designed as part of my bachelor’s degree in Game Design and Creative Writing, and decided to push further as I enjoyed the concept.

​

In it, you take turns fighting on a grid. The only actions you and your enemies can take is to move, place tiles on the ground or activate a tile. Each tile represents an element and has an effect, which is how you defeat your enemies. After fights, the player recieves new cards and equipment, which they can use to customise their play style.

​

It was insightful to work within an indirect fighting system, and trying to imagine how to still make it fun and engaging. Games like Enter the Breach comes to mind for the combat, and Hyperlight Drifter for the exploration. I also developed a very in depth numeric system for this game, which helped solidify my understanding of design.
