ROLES & CONTRIBUTIONS
As an art intern, while my primary focus was creating art assets and designing color palettes, I developed an interest in applying my UX background to create game flowcharts, mockups, and clickable prototypes. This enabled me to collaborate more effectively with production and development, communicating key ideas and aligning them with the team's vision.

GAME FLOW
After establishing the general premise and core mechanics for the game, I mapped out the main game flow using a user flow chart. This gave us a framework to understand how the game mechanics would work and how each key event would be staged.
Using basic assets, this flow chart was then used to develop mid-fidelity wireframes which would help our developer and the rest of the team understand key user interactions and touch points.
