Case Study: Visualizing 100+ Skills & Equipment
To help players intuitively perceive their growing combat power from over a hundred skills and items, I restructured the VFX logic around cast timing, AoE ranges, and hit feedback. By combining these mechanics with distinct character traits, I created a vast array of hand-drawn VFX. Post-launch testing received highly positive feedback, with players noting a significant improvement in the "feel and impact of combat".
