Overview:
This week we had to design the buttons for our cookie clicker clone game. Mine is based on cult, with the different upgrades increasing the growth of the cult.
Inspiration and Process:
For the main cultist design, I decided to combine the styles of the swordsman from Cult of the Lamb with the Zealot from Gloomhaven.
In Cookie Clicker, the main button doesn’t as much a button as it does just a picture of a cookie so I made my primary button just a picture of the cultist and made the Upgrade buttons into more button like buttons.
For the main buttons I tried to give them the borders that would make it more obvious that they were buttons. Next time I would try to round the corners off more
Overall:
Overall the quality of the buttons isnt fantastic with them being just black borders with some art. Next time It would definitely be better to round the corners and add shading or shadows to give a sense of them having more depth.
