Beware the Black Death... but rejoice for the excuse to draw a plague doctor! 🐦‍⬛ Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam! #gameartist #art #indiedev #indiegame #cardgame #ccg #tcg #gamedesign #gameart #steam #timetravel

Our artists knocked it out of the park with the Tractor Beam card, so I knew I had to do it justice with the animations and sound design. #cardgame #ccg #tcg #sounddesign #vfx #indiegame #gamedev

CHOMP!!! When you know exactly what you're going for with a card, it really doesn't take much to tell your players what's up- Dino Chomp. 🦖 Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4402530?... #gameartist #art #indiegame #cardgame #ccg #tcg #gameart #steam #timetravel #dino

This is one of the best highlights so far from our upcoming CCG, Chrono Cards #ccg #tcg #indiegame

Behold the Card Colosseum! 🏟️ Sometimes you can really tell when an artist got to draw one of their favorite things, like this was for me! Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam! #gameartist #art #indiedev #indiegame #cardgame #ccg #tcg #gamedesign #gameart #steam #timetravel #ancientgreece

I think this clip from the most recent Chrono Cards playtest (where I almost miss lethal) highlights the kind of little interactions the game is full of that makes it feel so deep. Super exciting to see the game working this smoothly already! #ccg #tcg #indiegame

Flare is definitely right 💥 Making weird colors work together can be a challenge, but can also lead to some of my favorite combinations because they're so unique! Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam! #gameartist #art #indiedev #indiegame #cardgame #ccg #tcg #gamedesign #gameart #steam #timetravel

The people spoke, and I obliged 👁️ This is the Oracle of Delphi, the card art I drew during a live showcase workshop based on crowd suggestions! Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam! #gameartist #art #indiedev #indiegame #cardgame #ccg #tcg #gamedesign #gameart #steam #timetravel #ancientgreece

Working on VFX and animations for the Stegosaurus card in Chrono Cards! If you mess with the dino, be prepared to feel the pain. #cardgame #ccg #tcg #indiegame

This is my favorite deck so far in the Chrono Cards playtest. Only cards in the Present will activate? Then just make the Present HUGE! Join the playtest and make your own broken deck: store.steampowered.com/app/4402530?... #decklist #ccg #tcg #cardgame #indiegame

The card art for "Chronicler" has a lot of little details, but also needed to look good from a distance when it was on the timeline! Here's how I did that ✍️ Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam! #gameartist #art #indiedev #indiegame #cardgame #ccg #tcg #gamedesign #gameart #steam #timetravel

Can "noob trap" cards be healthy for the design of a game (to a certain extent)? If a card can make a player feel smart for making it work against other "noobs", and smart again later for figuring out how to outplay it, you kind of got double the value as a designer. #cardgame #gamedesign

Watch the full process behind how I've made one of my best card arts yet, for "Rapid Fertilizer!" A decaying dino is the best garden bed, of course 🦕🌼 Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam! #gameartist #art #indiedev #indiegame #cardgame #ccg #tcg #gamedesign #gameart #timetravel #steam #dino

Two equally important #gamedev updates: - created an in-game tutorial so we can expand playtesting, and - baked yummy cookies to keep me going #indiegame #ccg

We put up some flyers around our college campus to advertise our upcoming Steam game. According to our UTM tracking, so far the low-effort memes we made at the last second are way outperforming the "normal" flyers. Never underestimate the power of memes I guess LOL #indiegame #gamedev #marketing

As the artist on Chrono Cards, I need to make sure the art for every card feels interesting, relevant, and complete-- and often the single best finishing touch is a little guy :) Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam! #gameartist #art #indiedev #indiegame #cardgame #tcg #ccg #gamedesign #gameart #steam

In Chrono Cards, everything revolves around the timeline. Control the timeline, and you're in control of the game. Just be sure you use that power wisely. Wishlist Chrono Cards on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4402530?... #cardgame #ccg #tcg #indiegame

It's been a grind to put together, but... Chrono Cards is now available to wishlist on Steam-just in time for the Deckbuilder Fest!🎉 Check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/4402530?... #cardgame #ccg #tcg #indiegame #steam

Let me know what you think of these pieces and what you'd like to see next! #indiedev #indiegame #gamedesign #gameart #gameartist #art
