From early visual concepts and artistic decisions to a cohesive, living ecosystem that now exists as a fully playable game on Steam — and continues to evolve through regular updates.
I was responsible for the overall artistic vision and visual consistency of the game, including:
Art direction and visual worldbuilding
Environment and narrative illustrations
Supervision of animation style and quality
UX/UI design — from icons and HUD elements to full screen layouts
Close collaboration with developers, animators, and illustrators
We met weekly to iterate, refine, and expand the world — system by system, location by location.
It was a long-term, collaborative process focused on clarity, atmosphere, and coherence.
Tavern Lords is a fantasy tavern simulator.
Players step into the role of a Bartender, freely walking through the core locations of the tavern:
The Tavern — the heart of the business
The Brewery — producing drinks
The Kitchen — preparing meals
Serving customers and managing supplies
Handling everyday chaos (sometimes chasing rats out of the soup)
Hiring and managing staff
But this is only one layer of the experience.
