The Aetherlight: Chronicles of the Resistance

I designed and pitched new features for The Aetherlight: Chronicles of the Resistance, a children’s open-world MMO, collaborating with a cross-disciplinary team to create balanced, socially engaging gameplay and optimized social UI flows.

• A challenge of creating a social system in a children’s game is not allowing to much personal information to be shared between players.

• We solved this by only allowing essential information on a “Friend’s List” page like: username, favorite in-game location and player level.

• I developed a new system which allowed a user’s profile to be displayed when you “tap” on their avatar. This an intuitive and fun solution which created an intreractive landscape where players could easily add eachother as a friend.
