Iconography
I wanted the iconography in Godbreakers to feel like it existed within the game's narrative. These were some kind of signs or glyphs used by the characters of that world, but also something easily decoded by the player. The goal was to create an iconography set that was like the laundry instructions of the Godbreakers universe.
Iconography design system
Godbreakers features over 125 items that all needed to be represented by unique icons.
In order to give players a quick and intuitive overview of how each item affected gameplay, an atomic design system was created that used a minimalist approach combining core-concept glyphs (Fire, Critical hit, etc.) with frames that hinted at when an item’s effect was applied.
Keeping it simple
Constructed from simpler shapes, iconography design followed a strict ruleset that enured the desired simplisity and clairty was maintained across the entire game.
