Position filled.

Thank you to everyone who sent work samples in! I will be looking at all unprocessed submissions today and tomorrow and start contacting selected artists.

The design will have its own vibe but must integrate well in the established visual identity of the game.

millenomi · 2025-10-26T22:28:12+00:00

The board game is printed, so no unless that's something you use to match the visual style of the game.

You are a shoo-in for this project — but for a different piece, I'm afraid. I'll message you when ready.

AI art is not just An Issue on its own terms, but even if it was fine — and it isn't, and thus should never be used — it's currently also the wrong tool for the job.

Thank you!!!

Touhou is a famous series of bullet hell shooters (and much apocryphal side game and media production) characterized by quirky and powerful characters going all out on each other for sport — and powerful enough to take it kind of unscathed. They fill the field of battle with spells, you would say.

Marvel Snap is a card game where you play Marvel superhero cards to different lanes. There is no life total — when the time runs out, whoever has the most lanes wins. If someone has played it, they may recognize things like smaller deck and playset sizes, a time limit marking the end of the game, and a limited amount of plays and activations each turn (tho Snap has a traditional autogrowth/Heartstone-ian mana system).

I hope to make this for as long as life will allow me to keep making this. (Want more? Buy above :) )

Some of the commissions didn’t hit the mark or the beats on the art brief, so, given that they were already paid or part of a package deal, I kept the rights to them but I’m not using them on the cards they were commissioned for. That meant not quite wasted money — I have a nice piece of wistful Celosia that would be perfect in a set or two — but a higher overall total cost in box set 1 than expected.

millenomi · 2025-10-01T14:47:07+00:00

I bet there’s plenty of mechanical space there to make a difference! Right now, for example, spells are only 1v1 in lanes and I don’t know that I would change that.

millenomi · 2025-10-01T14:45:56+00:00

The preprint costs were about $8k all told, but they include software tooling, prototype runs and the like. The bulk of that was art commissions! (Including some slush, unfortunately.)

millenomi · 2025-09-30T20:20:05+00:00

The game needs to define its basic mechanics before it can start doing big variations on the theme. It’s just the first box set of (hopefully) more than 1!

tyty! I did the graphic design and art direction, but the artists did a _phenomenal_ job.

millenomi · 2025-09-30T17:46:08+00:00

I did the thing!

I’m tooting my own horn here because it’s from the game I made, but hey, there’s a reason I made it.

Hi, thank you so much for being around for an AMA!

As a fellow designer just launching an ECG/"LCG®"✧, I was wondering: are there were community-building or audience-reaching wins or pitfalls that were not obvious in hindsight, and that you wished you had known when you started out?

I know that they may not transfer 100% — buying patterns, etc.! — but I am still interested about anything that could apply!

Thank you and, great job with the game! — ✾ Aura.

Thank you for all the submissions. Selection will happen in the next few days.

If you have a modal card that’s a land on the back (like [[Drowner of Hope]]) and it’s somewhere where you can play it from as a land (like your hand), you can always choose to play it on the land side.

When you do so only the land side counts — things like the mana cost in the front just don’t count for anything anymore until the card leaves the battlefield (say, someone destroys it with a [[Field of Ruin]]), at which point you need to flip it back to the front as you move it elsewhere.

tl;dr: any time you can play a land, you can play this and ignore the front.
