Designing a Cyberpunk-style card game featuring traditional Chinese medicine

Abstract

In the global game market, the cyberpunk style has received widespread attention due to its unique futuristic feel. At the same time, the cultural heritage has become the future development trend of Chinese traditional culture. This paper focuses on the application of traditional Chinese medicine elements, in the design of cyberpunk style game cards, aiming to explore how to combine the rich Chinese medicine with the cyberpunk visual style, to create a new type of game card products that have educational significance as well as meet the market demand. In this paper, we analyze the core theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal medicine and its development status and needs, and combine them with the visual representation of cyberpunk style in the game. In the design process, we focus on the presentation of Chinese medicine culture and innovatively transform it into card elements such as characters and skills in the game, and design creative game operation rules. From the perspective of cyberpunk, the design of game rules, character design, skill design, game card design, packaging design, poster design, logo design, and related cultural and creative design are carried out around Chinese medicine, forming a set of game cards that not only embodies the essence of traditional medicine, but also conforms to the aesthetics of cyberpunk. To summarize, the graduation design "Qi - Wuqi" not only demonstrates the charm of traditional Chinese medicine culture, but also brings new creativity to the field of game design, which is of great significance in promoting the integration of culture and technology.
