For interacting with NPC’s int he world, we decided to go with speech bubbles over their heads while the player was walking around the world. For starting conversations, players would see a close-up of the NPC along with their dialogue and quest rewards.

NPC Interactions

Out of Game Menus

We needed to envision how the menus would function out of game. I wanted the sequence to show the Heroes first. While hovering a Hero, they will pop out of the frame in addition to showing their name and level. Once a Hero is selected, the Player will see their overview page, where they can see the stats, difficulty, and a description of the Hero. They can easily swap between heroes by using the bottom buttons as well. The ability page will show the spell wheel, the upgrades to abilities the Player can swap out once they level up the character, and a video that would show the ability in-action. The Loadout page will show soul bound items, these are only equip able OUTSIDE of the game, in addition to abilities gained from the gear, if applicable. Stats would appear here as well as available items that can be swapped into the selected item spot. Lastly is the Lore page. Here, Players can view unlockable lore stories that have illustrated tarot-style cards associated with them.
