Codex Design

The Reach

Personal Project, 2025

A CRPG needs a practical, functional codex or journal that can help players keep on top of what they’ve been up to. Life can get busy, and stepping away while you’re in the midst of a winding plot can lead to that horrible sense of paralysis when you return 3 months later, only to have forgotten who the major players are and what you must do next. A Codex is an essential tool for keeping a player informed, and it’s also a valuable means of conveying extra bonus information to the players who truly love your game and want to learn every possible detail about your characters and setting.
