Assignment 2 Final Design

After completing Assignment 2, I now have a much clearer vision of my game Mythic Shards and how to communicate it effectively through professional design documentation. This puzzle-platformer revolves around mastering ancient shard powers to survive traps and uncover forgotten ruins. Designing the one-sheet and one-page documents helped me condense complex ideas into a visually engaging and development-ready format.

The one-sheet served as a pitch tool—highlighting the game’s core identity, target platform, genre, and three unique selling points. I focused on showcasing what sets Mythic Shards apart: mythical powers (like healing, reviving, freezing traps), skill-based survival, and strategic elemental switching. These features reflect the game’s high-stakes challenge and layered gameplay. Visuals of traps and shard icons were integrated to support the theme and tone.

The one-page served as a blueprint for actual development. I detailed trap interactions and shard powers using diagrams and callouts. For instance, each trap has clear player instructions (e.g., “Press ← to duck under bolts”), which helps future developers understand mechanics at a glance. I also refined the shard system to ensure each one added depth and utility, encouraging dynamic gameplay rather than linear puzzle-solving.

Through this process, I learned the importance of clear, focused communication—especially when translating ideas to visual and mechanical form. I also gained insight into iterative balancing, such as refining traps to be challenging but fair. The final design documents reflect not only the vision of Mythic Shards, but also a practical path forward for its future development.

Assignment 2 Final Design

As for the Final Design of Assignment 2, I think One Page and One Sheet look unreliable because of the low completion of my personal demo (if I am a player and I also will doubt their authenticity)

So from this experience, I realized that if you want to make One Sheet and One Page, you must have a demo that seems to have potential, which will be more convincing to players or investors.

One Sheet

For One Sheet, Selling Point and X Statement are the two most important introductions in my opinion.

For Selling Points, I have clearly written in my first Platform Journal why I want to use them as Selling Points.

But I thought about how I should write my X Statement for a long time, but I didn't have a good answer. I feel that I haven't played enough game examples, so I don't know what combination of games my concept fits.

Assignment 2 Final Design

I finally finished both my sell sheet and my one page designs. I’m actually really happy with them. I followed the blue reef sillhouette across into the one page design aswell. I felt that the sell sheet really captured the essence of what the game was. Portraying a sense of adventure, competition and novelty which I hope would entice people to try it. I tried to keep all of the elements on the page fitting in with the theme so that nothing looked out of place. My one page, covered all of the features of the game in enough depth that someone could make it from scratch, but also kept from being overcrowded and cluttered. It really made me take into account the importance of obvious imagery. If an idea is done preoperly it needs as little textual explanation as possible.

Assignment 2 Final design

For my final assignment 2 design, I wanted to recreate a hand drawn aesthetic into my posters. This was done through the use of hand drawn boxes and arrows as well as the scrunched up paper background. 

The game would include a score system that shows the players highscore that is increased when the player collects gold coins. Bats and slimes were added into the game to add variety into the obstacles that the player will have to face. 

The selling point of the game is the final dragon boss that has 3 attacks. The player will have to evade all incoming attacks and chip away at the dragon’s health to win the game.

Assignment 2 Final Design

It took me quite a while to come up with a theme for the racing prototype as I had no idea on how to approach in designing my sell sheet and creating my one sheet as I stated previously in my assignment 2 progress post. For the final designs, I used photoshop to design my sell sheet and word document to include details about the prototype in the one sheet. The purpose of my sell sheet is to provide an insight and an idea of my game to potential players. The colors I went with for my sell and one sheet is white, green, and yellow to match what an f1 racing track would like.  The one sheet allows other game designers to gain a better understanding of the game features and game mechanics. I’ve attached the final designs of the sell sheet and one sheet.

For the One Sheet, I ended up changing the overall aesthetic and added the required information and references.

For the One Page, I added a screen shot of the game play and labeled it accordingly. I also added additional notes and a small paragraph elaborating on the razor statement. I then added colours and fonts to connect the aesthetic to the One Sheet.
