The Buccaneer Brawl is a 3v3 turn-based combat system, themed around pirates. The artifact features 6 characters classes, 2 combats, along with combat introduction, conclusion, and transition. 

The artifact was developed over 4 weeks (8 weeks part-time) by a team of 7 designers. I approached this project by following the needs of the team and the project itself, and so ended up working on a some things I had little experience with, such as animation.

Below is a small selection of working documents produced during development:

Since I had finished all my tasks ahead of schedule, I also created a crowd system inspired by fighting games such as Street Fighter, in which npcs sometimes react to actions happening in combat. The crowd manager and crowd person are designed to be drag/drop, but also offer more control, should our environment designer have needed it. The end result is visible in the gameplay video above.
