I love making logos for games! I always try to design logos that are simple but cartoony, shiny and fun! Sometimes they're a bit scrappy and made in a rush (for a game jam for example)! I've made so many in the past MANY YEARS in games, from board games to mobile games! #gamedev

I really appreciated the opportunity to talk about death in games with Chris! It's a topic I go back to (a few times!) and I have lots of feelings on it, personally and creatively. You can listen to have an existential crisis in real-time! It's a nice podcast, I promise.

I make quick assets with a layout tool (dextrous.com.au) and a linked spreadsheet, then import the result in screentop to play with the cards on a virtual tabletop. Dextrous can export print files as well, for when i'm confident enough to bring it to prototype testing events!

Imo: In commercial tabletop game design, there are innumerable paths to failure for every one path to success. But to create, itโs often helpful to ignore this fact temporarily.

I used an old idea of mine to test that prototyping method, a simple solo card game without much of a theme for now. Just by playing and iterating (like 30+ times), the game evolves so fast! ๐ฒโ๏ธ

Made a first board game prototype in screentop.gg - took a bit of effort to figure out, but now i have a game that is very fast to iterate on and test by myself - and eventually playtest with others!
