Development Background
Game Summary: Real-time, grid-based, PvP battler.
​
User Story: Command a squad of 6 Champs to battle an opposing squad.
​
Product Challenges: Channel the level of competitiveness found in MOBAs to a 1v1, mobile format. I leaned on my gaming experience with top MOBAs such as DotA and HotS and meshed it with grid-based tactics of classics like Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. I was the only content designer under the Design Lead on a team of about 20 people, so I was the resident Champs gameplay expert and even ran a livestream, where I hosted matches and tournaments. My product management work on Champs also carried over to a future unreleased title at Quark where I officially doubled as a Game Designer and PM.

Feature - Champs
I designed most of the 30+ Champs in CB.
Each Champ consisted of 4 actions that cost energy:
-
2 Energy - Move
-
3 Energy - Basic Attack
-
4 Energy - Utility Ability
-
5 Energy - Ultimate Ability
The Champs were divided across 5 races, each with their own themed abilities
-
Human
-
Undead
-
Sun Elf
-
Machine
-
Chibbit
There are 2 tiers of Champs: Starters and Evolutions
Evolutions have abilities themed off their associated Starter
Champs could equip Mods to enhance their stats.
Feature - battlegrounds
I designed all of the battlegrounds in CB.
​
Players queued into a pool of pre-designed, symmetrical battlegrounds.
​
Objective - reach 10 kills
​
Each battle ground was a grid of at least 7x7 tiles with the the following attributes:
-
Height - affects movement and attack range
-
Energy Tile - doubles energy recharge
-
Respawn Tile - Champs slain will respawn on or near this tile after a short timer
