FAQ
What do I need to provide to get started on my project?
To begin, please share your game’s core theme, any specific layout ideas, and a list of necessary components. If you have existing text, dimensions, or a reference style you love (like a specific TCG or board game), sending those over ensures the final game assets perfectly match your vision.
Can you design custom templates for Trading Card Games (TCG)?
Yes, absolutely, I specialize in premium TCG design and custom card templates. I will create clean, high-quality borders, text boxes, and unique icon placements tailored to your game’s mechanics, ensuring your cards look professional and are easy for players to read.
What file formats will I receive for the final game components?
You will receive print-ready, high-resolution files (usually 300 DPI CMYK in PDF or PNG format) depending on your manufacturing requirements. If you also need layered source files (like PSD or AI vectors) for future edits, that can easily be included in your custom order package.
Do you handle the instruction manual or rulebook layout?
Yes, A messy rulebook ruins a great game. I provide professional rulebook layout services, organizing your text, gameplay examples, and asset illustrations into a beautifully formatted, easy-to-read booklet that matches your game’s branding.
Are these designs ready to be uploaded to Tabletop Simulator?
Yes, all game assets, board layouts, and card sheets can be formatted precisely to meet digital playtesting standards. Just let me know if you plan to upload the files to Tabletop Simulator or Print-and-Play platforms so I can export them with the exact required grids.
