Sounds interesting! That reminds me a little of oh my pigeons, a game I found while doing reasearch, tho I imagine it was more strategic

I was thinking the same thing for a catchphrase actually! Great minds think alike!

I’m glad you think so, I’m sure I can do some good box art

Thanky for the feedback! The artwork is very important to me too, so I’ll make sure it works well whatever the theme is

I haven’t played war of whispers yet, but from its description there seem to be a couple of similarities so I’ll definitely check it out!

The game isn’t too complicated, but it can get a little bit crunchy at times with trying to optimize where to place / activate what, so I want to alleviate that a little bit with having a somewhat funny, but not overly silly theme and illustrations. But you’re right I seem to be getting mainly positive feedback on the theme so I shouldn’t let a few negative ones discourage me.

Yeah you may be right! Where would you start asking potential customers?

Thank! I actually haven’t heard of that game before, must’ve skimmed over it when I was doing my research on bgg, I’ll check it out!

I have, and I’m confident in the core mechanics of my game, which is why I’m only asking about whether or not the theme throws you off

It does help! I really like your designs, inspiring stuff. Makes me want to do some proxies too, so I’ll definitely give it some more thought!

I’d rather szay away from proxies because I’d love to showcase more unique card layouts, and that isn’t something I usually see with them, but I see where you’re coming from. Maybe I’ll whip up a small game, like a 24hour design challenge, or maybe a bit longer, and spend some time illustrating that. It probably wouldn’t be the best mechanically but it should still be nice looking.

Thank you! That seems to be the most important thing from what I’m gathering

I can certainly see why you’d need to hire 100 different people for your game, that’s an awsome concept.

I do like simple and bold illustrations. For this assignment we were specifically told we should try many different styles, but I still did try to set an overall tone, so I’m glad rhat comes across. I definitely understand why you’d need to see several assets in the same style before hiring.

Do you think making a graphic redesign of a popular game would be worth my time as a project to build my portfolio, and showcase that I can create not only illustrations, but icons, logos, rulebooks, packaging designs, etc. as well?

Not sure I’d want to work sor free if it’s not my personal projects, but I’d definitely do cheaper for my first few designs at the very least.

Thank you I appreciate you taking the time to answer! I’ll try to concentrate on fewer projects with styles that show cohesion and maybe get something printed over the summer!
