I work as a Lead Game Designer in Malta, and keep a myriad of unfinished somehow-still-alive side projects.

Right now I'm focused on Stellar Settlers, a dice rolling strategy game we just produced!

Search stars in an uncharted Galaxy and discover planets! 🎲✂️

The game will fit in just two A4 sheets of paper and will come with both a full colour version and a black and white one for the ones that want to save ink. 🌿

It's simple, quick to play and perfect for a filler in your game night!

In the meantime we also improved the website a bit, and we've been finalizing the design of Stellar Settler Discovery: The #print&play version of Stellar Settlers.

It's a similar #PushYourLuck #scifi dice game, this time with an astronomy theme (a prequel).

We still have stock! So if you want to buy one as a present for that game geek partner or cousin, now it's the right moment!

It'll take 1-2 weeks to be shipped in Europe, so it should be in time for the holidays! 🎄🎅

Strawberry Tree's #gamedev update #10

It's been a while since I did this, naively thought I'd do it once a week!

But we've been busy making a shop, getting our first sales and shipping orders of Stellar Settlers!

Progress on the space-bug model.

I'm trying to paint it fast and have fun with it. As new techniques I've tried a prismatic blade effect, though I'm not sure it fits much and tried to do some energy lighting on the weapon, which I need to improve...

I wasn't sure of how I wanted to paint these models, so I put one into impcat to test out some ideas... The process to create the SVG was tedious, but I think it was worth it.

I've chosen the brown one as they give me some space-roach kind of vibe.

I thought they were smaller! They look pretty intimidating next to my Space Marines. They'll be worthy antagonists!

Looking forward to painting them :)

Ordered from meskenasminiatures.etsy.com

Did I order crystal meth?

No... They are #miniatures! Similar effect though...

Another #WIP of the #print&play board for Stellar Settlers Discovery. I'm hoping to have it ready for the holidays but I'm not sure I'll manage, it will still need a bit of iteration... 🎲✂️

And this is a small #WIP tease of how the board will actually look, that illustration will be mostly covered in reality😅, but should establish some sense of location and "space".

Timelapse of the art session yesterday for what will be the board background for #StellarSettlers Discovery, our next #Print&Play #boardgame.

There'll be a simpler version without background in case you want to save ink 😅

I had a bit of time yesterday to paint the base and added some reins (made with a bit of wire) so the hand is not just hanging there.

Next Step: Building some small Osgiliath diorama display base.

The toddler wants to draw the silhouette of my hand with his pencil.

I've made lots of mistakes but I'm happy with this #LOTR beast. I still need to paint the base and create a small scenery to display the miniatures.

I enjoyed some parts of the process but it was very stressful and difficult to handle.

Over the years I've seen many (even millions) of players play #videogames I've worked on as part of a team and it feels great.

But seeing a tiny bunch of people receiving my first #boardgame physically and sending me pics of them playing is even better!!

Thank you for the support! 🫂

More #wip on the #lotr Nazgul riding Fell Beast.

I started painting. I looked for some references in the movie and noticed the blueish tone on its neck and off white chest. I just wish I had done a better job removing mould lines 🫠

Well... I finally gathered all my willpower, the super glue and sodium bicarbonate and glued the beast back together after the crash.

There is still hope for this awe inspiring miniature. Beware Frodo!

Hopefully I won't drop it again.

&##@&#!!!! I dropped it again. This time it did break... 😭

It's interesting how the whole base lost the glued bits that got peeled off like a sticker...

Priming done. I tried some cenital lighting with grey but the can was finishing and it produced some visible spots... Hopefully I can fix those in painting.

I also dropped the mini just after the picture, but luckily nothing broke 😅

One of my favourite sets as a kid. Still have it in my parents' home.

Every now and then we gather the family and build all the #lego together. 😊

Here's the beast after gluing it with epoxy. I'm still unsure some bits will hold up... Maybe the green stuff helps reinforcing a bit.

Looking forward to paint it, though it's a bit of boring one, all black. Oh well...
