FAQ
Do you provide manufacturer-ready files?
Yes! I deliver all designs in high-resolution (300 DPI) CMYK color profiles, complete with industry-standard bleeds and safety margins. My files are compatible with major tabletop manufacturers like LongPack, PandaGM, and The Game Crafter, ensuring a smooth printing process without technical errors.
Can you help me balance my game mechanics?
Absolutely. Beyond art, I specialize in gameplay mechanics and mathematical balancing. I can review your prototype to ensure there are no "broken" strategies or boring downtime, creating a fair and engaging experience for all player counts.
What do I need to provide to get started?
For a smooth start, please provide a brief description of your game's theme, the number of components (cards/tokens) you need, and any rough sketches of your rules. If you’re at the "napkin sketch" stage, don't worry—I can help you build the structure from scratch!
Do you design professional rulebooks?
Yes, rulebook writing and layout are my specialties. I focus on "Instructional Design," using clear icons, structured headings, and flowcharts to make your game easy to learn. A well-designed rulebook is the difference between a player enjoying your game or quitting in frustration.
Can you create 3D mockups for my Kickstarter campaign?
Yes! I provide high-quality 3D board game mockups and box renders that give your campaign "visual authority." These assets are perfect for landing pages, social media marketing, and convincing backers that your project is high-quality and professional.
Will I own the commercial rights to the designs?
Yes, once the order is complete, you hold full commercial rights for all assets in the Standard and Premium packages. You are free to manufacture, market, and sell your game globally. (Note: Please check my package descriptions for specific details).
Do you support TCG, Tarot, or Monopoly-style games?
I have extensive experience across all niches, including Trading Card Games (TCG), educational board games, custom tarot cards, and classic board game clones like Monopoly or Ludo. Every design is customized to fit the specific "vibe" and mechanical needs of your genre.
