Traitors - a pvp tower defense board game

Title: Treasurebound / Traders Traitors

Role: Team Lead, Designer, Lead Artist

Platform: Tabletop

Software: Photoshop, Tabletop Simulator, Trello

Project Description: Treasurebound / Traitors is a competitive tower defense board game for 2-4 players. I lead a team of 3 developers to collaboratively design and bring this game to a fully playable prototype over 5 weeks. I helped with designing the theme and core systems, team organization, running playtests, and created original artwork for the game board, cards, and title.

Treasurebound / Traitors was one of my first projects in my degree journey and one of my most proud. Our team initially struggled with communication and even had a member drop in the first week. I rallied the remaining members in a group chat where we collaborated remotely for the project. I assigned roles to the team and organized multiple playtest sessions where we played a live version of the game remotely via Tabletop Simulator. I wrote playtest questionnaires and compiled the valuable feedback we got from having outsiders play our game on multiple occasions. This 5-week collaborative process ended up with one of my favorite games in my entire portfolio.
