It should feel surprising and overwhelming to fight so many so early in the map. When the player backtracks to find the key they may have missed, they will fight these ogres, and hopefully notice the silver key at that point. This time I throw a dozen dogs at the player at the beginning. Because brutalism.

If you hate the game you’re playtesting, do something different. Tasty Humans is about monsters fighting humans instead of the other way around, which gets a sick laugh out of everybody who sees the game. Don’t just playtest it and refine the mechanics. This is the art for Spectrum in War Co., is the art.

Yomi was "a fighting game in card form" that I made before making the actual fighting game Fantasy Strike. Now, Yomi 2 is a re-imagining of that fighting-card-game concept. These are updated pretty often based on feedback and playtesting from patrons.

These women were part of the first She Got Game mentorship program by the Swiss Arts Council, Pro Helvetia, which aims to promote equal opportunities in the global video games scene.

I want to show you some of what I'm working (Codex, Flowchart, and a Fighting game) and tell you about Patreon. Patrons helped playtest and also just point out errors or give suggestions how to improve things. Codex, Flowchart, and now.the Fantasy Strike fighting game (yes, really!). Instead.it's fun.

But, as I talked about above, it’s a new KIND of deckbuilder, in a bunch of ways: Eight asymmetric, fighting game style characters with their own abilities, strengths and weaknesses. The star of the show for this game is surely going to be the amazing art, which is by Christina Zhong. It’s a deckbuilder!

Ovidiu Mantoc – Level Design, 3D Art. Gabriel Tanko – Concept and 2D Art. Cosmin Coroiu – 3D Art. Dragos Geomolean – Additional 3D Art. Everything would work out as designed if the player started fighting in the new area but of course players will surprise you. Fix the problems we identified during the playtest.

art, design, technology, physics, coding, music, maths, 3D, problem solving, empathy, and fun!” Feedback from playtest sessions with friends or players is really important. One that could run, jump, swing, climb, fly, flip and fight in a fluid way. It’s the combination of all the things I enjoy doing (apart from marketing!):

For the first version of the game, we decided to have only a single-player version, where the players would fight against the AI. Before we started the development of our next game, we made a lot of versions of the art style and tested the market interest. What is the arte styles of these games? Are they top of mind games?

ASCII art for Exiles prototypes. So I reimagined them yet again, taking into account their unique targeting mechanics and what that means when fighting other bots. As is the changes are too new and we’ll have to see what real playtesting turns up. Overload utility art. Fine tuning.
