I’m on to thinking about skills and professions now, and whilst my thoughts have still to settle and land on something, I decided to switch mental mode and design a page layout for the game that doesn’t exist yet.
I enjoy doing design & layout, and Affinity Publisher makes this a pleasure. So this mockup of a page describing one of the game’s professions was a good exercise in that it gave the visual part of my brain something to, whilst also making me think — almost by accident — of some of the mechanics around skills, levelling up, and even combat to a minor extent.
Everything here is draft and placeholder for now, but it has helped solidify a few things for me, and made me even more eager to progress with this project and see how it turns out.
