YOU Xi

Game Design

I am deeply fascinated by peculiar and mystical cultures, which is why I have a great interest in various mythological stories and religious beliefs. The fact that myths can originate from a unified source but give rise to different versions always makes me contemplate.

In my work Merriphel, I chose the Maya culture as the background for character design. However, I also combined elements from the Aztec culture, the sister culture of the Maya, into the related backstory. The Maya and Aztec cultures have many similar yet distinct features, which which provides a rich foundation for creative design. In this project, I designed props and items made of materials commonly used in Maya rituals, such as stone, wood, and bone, for each non-player character (NPC).

In another card game design project Lord Monster, my inspiration comes from a mishmash of myths and legends. These include Japanese folklore, the ancient Chinese geographical work The Classic of Mountains and Seas, and the monstrous creatures of Norse mythology. I’m passionate about combining elements of completely different creatures and designing their habits and habitats with unique story backgrounds. Many conceptual artists have already explored various designs in the past, so creating an independent world with new creatures presents an exciting challenge for me. Furthermore, I designed different characteristics and play styles for the front and back of each card, allowing players to learn more about the creature’s habits and story through gameplay. Additionally, I designed the maps to have gameplay that can trigger regional interactions with the cards, providing a more immersive experience for players who are interested.

Also, I am interested in exploring various creative themes and styles. For the 3D project The Lost Bird, I attempted to develop a bird that can grow. The game is a 3D adventure level game with monsters inspired by real birds. In the traditional Japanese puzzle RPG project, DUES, I referenced the well-known movie and television series Triangle and Shutter Island. In this project, I aimed to immerse players in the story through the use of flashbacks.
