CELESTIA

real-time galaxy and constellation building game.
3-6 players. 10-15 minutes.

2021.12.06.Hired a freelance artist through fiverr.com to design preliminary piece. While the constellations pop, the flatness of the nebulas leave more to be desired. The spatial balance between 2D (line) constellation and 3D (volume) nebula will have to be further considered such that neither element overpowers the other. A 3mm border was left on all edge to ensure smooth printing and machine cutting.

All pieces were hand drawn and colored with metallic markers to get the proper luster of the nebulas. As screen-printing would increase production costs, effort will have to be made to recreate the same sheen artistically in the final product.

Once hexagons were the determined shape of choice, I got busy mocking up what the pieces and appropriate connections might look like. Each piece has a corresponding ID on a separate spreadsheet that calculates the distribution, the connective potential of each piece to ensure smooth gameplay.
