Shard Wars

 Shard Wars was the first major iteration of a long term game design project I have been working on for the past four or so years. This game has gone through many iterations and is currently on its fourth major iteration of development.

Here are some cards from early digital templating of Shard Wars. They would become more refined over time before this iteration the game was eventually shelved. Over 300 cards were designed and made for Shard Wars with many more several hundred more designed but never made digitally. The 300 that these are a sample from were printed in paper.

Here are some cards from this 90 card set "The Petal Crusade" themed around the plant based world of Vegetitar.
                                                                             



                                                                                                    



                                                                                                        


    All the art for the Shard Wars 400+ digital drawings largely in Microsoft paint were done by me. This was an important learning exercise in my development as a game designer. While ultimately shelved the project was a lot of fun to work on.

Group 14 Kitchen Clash Kitchen clash is a food based strategy game for an audience of elementary aged children. Players play as the food or the pests and must battle for control of the fridge and pantries using their skills and luck of the die.  The game development went well as both members of the group did our tasks adequately. I primarily worked on the rules of the game and supplying all game components. I made the board design and later the board we used for the final play-test.  I also acquired all the components and dice for the game.  I also made the rules for the game and created the "story" and primary conflict between food and pests. My group partner worked more on the assignments and in play-test note-taking alongside helping the direction of the game. The first issue we ran into was game scope as I wanted to make the game larger and more complex but my project partner reminded me of our target audience and I tempered the complexity of the game due to t
