Wise Wizard (Concept)

Wise Wizard is a concept developed built around a mechanic I designed.

This mechanic is all about combining thing into other things. The player can channel up to 5 different elements into spells they can use to attack or buff themselves. These elements can add different effects to your spells, or can combine into other elements alltogether.
For example: channel some fire and some earth together, and you create a bigger fireball, add in some wind, and you will make it faster. Feeling bold? Combine fire and water into steam!

When thinking about how to add onto this mechanic, I decided to add in magic circles. These circles form when a spell projectile hits an enemy. When you hit these magic circles with a compatible element, they detonate, dealing damage in an area around them.

I started building this mechanic with the idea of turning it into a survirors-like game, where players have to maneuver around hordes of enemies, while thining them out with a barage of carefully constructed spells.

If you wanna give the concept a go yourself or read into the development process, you can do so on the itch page.
