FAQ
Do I need a complete game idea before ordering?
Not at all! Whether you only have a general theme, a vague concept, or a single mechanic in mind, we can develop and expand the rest of the game together from scratch.
Do you provide custom illustrations or artwork for the cards/board?
This gig focuses specifically on game mechanics, rulebook layout, and structural component wireframing/templates. If you also need custom character illustrations or pixel art assets, send me a message and I can provide a custom quote!
What format will I receive the final files in?
You will receive professional PDF files for your rulebook and printable layouts, along with organized component files ready for print-on-demand services (like The Game Crafter or DriveThruCards) or local manufacturing.
How does the playtesting and balancing process work?
I analyze your core loops, turn structures, and win conditions to test for pacing issues, dominant strategies, or loopholes. I then provide structural adjustments to ensure the game is both engaging and balanced.
Can you help edit or rewrite an existing rulebook I already wrote?
Yes! If you already have a rule draft, I will audit it to fix ambiguities, improve the formatting, and make it clear, concise, and easy for new players to learn.
