Crystal base - UQdeco2800/2022-studio-1 GitHub Wiki

Introduction

After communicating with the UI team, the crystal base was considered an indispensable crystal component. The Crystal Base is a new entity created during Sprint4.

Crystals are an important part of the game and were only presented on the map in a simple way in the original three designs, so in the last stage of the game, we decided to design a pedestal for it to change its appearance and try to enhance the visual experience.
