Created for Systems Design module at the University of Staffordshire on the course for Computer Games Design MSc.
For this project, I designed a novel system for Dinkum. My aim was to create a new progression system that would suit Dinkum and its pre-existing systems and mechanics. The Skill Mastery system aims to add an additional motivation for players to engage with the game and its mechanics long-term by providing late-game goals and rewards for progression.

These UI designs intend to match the existing UI in Dinkum, showcasing how this novel system might fit into the game.
