Fuel Exchange

The Fuel Exchange is a marketplace inside IlluviDEX where players trade Solon, Crypton, and Hyperion, the three fuels that power crafting, curing, and travel in Illuvium Overworld. I took the CTO's technical brief and translated it into information architecture, user stories, and detailed designs, shipping a trading experience that players could use confidently without needing a finance background.

Overview

From Technical to User-Centric Design: I took high-level technical requirements from the CTO and distilled them into a clear information architecture, feature set, user stories, and detailed designs. This included the creation of key pages:

Outcome

The Fuel Exchange launched successfully as a streamlined marketplace for fuel trading, providing players with a user-friendly interface to buy and sell fuel. Ongoing iterations, driven by user feedback, helped refine key interactions, particularly around pricing transparency. The exchange became an integral part of the IlluviDEX ecosystem, facilitating smoother gameplay in Illuvium Overworld.

What I learned

This project was a rewarding challenge, requiring me to take abstract, high-level technical requirements and transform them into a coherent, user-facing product. I learned the importance of clear communication between technical and design teams and how to balance technical constraints with user needs. Additionally, the fast-paced iteration process reinforced the value of user feedback in refining and improving a product post-launch.
