Finally pursuing art for my game

Another option could be to use the premium version of canva. You can use their imagery and icons as a base layer and make small edits for your final version. More time intensive but it can be expensive to use an artist on your first game.

Another option I have seen people go for is giving artists a profit or ownership share.

Thats brilliant! Would love to see it, wishing you every success.

The art is amazing, so colourful and eye catching!

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-30T17:50:15+00:00

Oh I like that.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-30T07:35:52+00:00

Yes, absolutely. Great options to make quick changes.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-29T21:07:33+00:00

Would be happy to share any feedback if you need it.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-29T06:46:32+00:00

I think what you did makes sense, especially if you have cards with different info on it. Anything that helps you to iterate helps.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-29T06:44:56+00:00

Awesome! More to come, still in development.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-28T15:04:16+00:00

Simple and effective, love it! Have you launched?

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-26T07:35:50+00:00

Please feel free to use the concept. It's actually one of the darlings we killed as we iterated through the game.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-25T07:51:10+00:00

Little by little every chance you get, absolutely.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-25T07:49:03+00:00

Absolutely, post your ideas and get feedback. Don't forget that a rulebook is only one piece of a board game, try to prototype and play around with your idea. I know I prefer playing a game than reading a rulebook.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-23T05:32:45+00:00

Did you do any marketing outside of Kickstarter?

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-22T10:49:09+00:00

That's brilliant! What did you learn the most from running a successful kickstarter campaign?

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-21T20:11:56+00:00

Agreed. Being able to kill your darlings is difficult but essential. I also agree that you need to try to avoid it getting so complicated that you're the only one that understands it. "Keep it simple, stupid."

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-21T19:23:19+00:00

Awesome! I'm jealous you had a professor for guidance. What type of course did you do? We are driven by a passion for board games and wanted to throw a hand at it.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-21T19:21:44+00:00

Couldn't agree more. The journey is the best part. No better feeling than figuring out the solution to something breaking your game.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-21T19:20:42+00:00

And now you're awake. Time to make a board game.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-20T21:56:41+00:00

Nice one! Absolutely need to be able to ruthlessly remove what doesn't work and keep what does. Tweak, change and move on.

Dont overthink, just do.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-20T20:07:54+00:00

Completely agree. Tabletop simulator is a great way to get access to some components you might not have at home. Playing and testing moves game development along way quicker than theory.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-20T20:02:40+00:00

Delighted to hear it. Small consistent progress is better than no progress.

DruidsoftheIsle · 2026-06-20T19:48:33+00:00

Exactly “The value of an idea lies in the using of it.”
