On Facebook Piranha Bytes has given a small insight into the level design of Elex with the help of a tower ruin. Special attention by the developer is paid to the hand crafted world and its details, so that the player gets a unique world that begs to be explored.

On Magalan you'll find a variety of ruins and all of them are created by hand and placed in the world individually. First, the individual parts of a ruin are prepared and then they're assembled in the world. This method provides versatility in the use of ruin parts to the team. In the following steps more details and objects are added to make each ruin look unique and inviting.

Now Piranha Bytes has released an image of the final tower ruin as well:

The world of Magalan has changed dramatically after the catastrophic meteoritic impact. It's marked by memorials of the ancient world. Some of the ruins survived for centuries and had already been relics in the ancient world. The ruins provide protection against their enemies to different groups and animals. But vegetation slowly regains control and overruns the massive walls and towers.
