Since I was brought onto CyBall mid-development, my main goals were to expand upon its existing designs and introduce fun, new content.
After receiving the project, I reviewed and playtested dozens of playable cards, then tweaked them meticulously until they proved to be more balanced. I also designed new cards that fit into the gameplay and types of interactions of existing cards.
In addition, I worked closely with artists and engineers to refine the game's HUD and other UI. My mock-ups included the player's hand of cards, mana tracker, scoreboard, character icons, post-match stats, and inventory.
