Vineyard: A Winemaking Game
Vineyard is a 1-4 player board game about making wine in a delightful, sun-washed valley. Move workers through the winemaking steps and choose your upgrades. Become a specialist, find the perfect moments to benefit from the activities around the vineyard, and enjoy a streamlined experience of crafting wine!
I worked on this project as the Principal Illustrator, having free reign to visually craft the world of Vineyard in my own style. I was in charge of developing the art style, creating the characters and environment for the board as well as UI layout and icon work for the board, cards and tokens. I wanted to keep it colorful and friendly with a summer-in-Europe vibe that lets players enjoy the fun atmosphere of the game.
Gem Packed Cards is a gem-crafting, color-blending card game for 2-5 players based on the GemPacked iOS puzzle game. During each round, players use the Gemino Pip Tokens they draw to try to acquire higher level Gemino Squares and Gemino Diamonds, which are worth victory points at the end of the game. All cards are played face up. When the last Gemino Pip Tokens are drawn from the starting pile, each player has one remaining turn before the round ends and players tally their score.
I was the Illustrator and Graphic Designer for this project, as well as being the Illustrator and Animator for the previously developed iOS game. Working closely with the designer, I created all of the art and layout work for the cards, tokens, box and rulebook. The project was a blast to work on and was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2015!
