Unveiling the Circle of Ruin Level Selection Concept!

Updated: Jan 1

Greetings, fellow seekers of balance! Today, I'm excited to offer you a sneak peek into the intricate design of the level selection system within "Circle of Ruin."


Imagine a map showcasing both the UK and Ireland, each under the shadowy grip of dark mages. Embedded within this menu map are highlighted stone circles, each one representing an ancient site corrupted by malevolent forces. Clicking on these circles will transport you to a scene where the task is clear: heal the ancient site.


But the path to restoration isn't straightforward. Each stone circle is safeguarded in unique ways, requiring different approaches. You might find yourself utilizing stealth, engaging in combat, or unraveling intricate puzzles to cleanse the site.


Here's where the magic happens: once you successfully cleanse a site, witness the transformation in the level menu. The revitalization process begins—the area on the map representing the site blooms with renewed vitality, and ley lines interconnect, signifying your progress and the restoration of cosmic balance.


This concept isn't just about navigating levels; it's a visual representation of your journey and accomplishments. It's about conveying your pivotal role in restoring harmony to these ancient sites.


This glimpse into the level selection system illustrates my commitment to immersing you in the story and your impact on the game world. Stay tuned for more updates as I delve deeper into the development of "Circle of Ruin." Your journey is about to unfold in ways you've never experienced before!
