Process

The inception of Legacy of Light was to create a new game that built on the success of War of Nations, but more accessible to mid-core players.

In the pre-production phase we were exploring the fantasy theme in terms of materials, colors, realistic vs stylistic, and hardcore/mid-core balance. The lore of the game and characters were being developed concurrently.

Here we were dialing in the visual design. Because of limited space on mobile devices, keeping ornamentation to a minimum is ideal. I wanted to have enough art to express the theme, but not so much that it lost it’s deference to the content or made the dialogs too crowded.
