2025
Foolhardy adventurers enter a magical tower full of secrets and danger.
Each have their own reasons to be there. Can you fulfil their quests?
Can you escape with power and wealth,
or will you be trapped inside forever?
Dare you play the Arcanist’s deadly game?
At the beginning of 2025 I decided to take a month out of writing novellas to fulfil a long term ambition and create a table-top game. Over a year later, it’s been too much fun to go back to writing. It required:
» Creating a game system
» Designing a visual language
» Creating a design system
» Assembling a prototype
» Recruiting user testers
The game was designed in Figma, and image assets were created and imported from Photoshop.
AI was used for character art illustration.
The game has been tested over a period of 12 months with three test groups and is still being iterated on.
