DEVOUR

Team Lead

Explore the skies and steal from competitors as your pirate faction vies for dominance in a strange new landscape. I served as team lead on this game, alongside 2 other talented designers.

This game went to PAXUnplugged and BostonFIG.

How it Works

Stardust

This is your main resource. It is generated by factories or found in treasure chests. When one player gathers enough, they win the game.

Exploration

Place ship tokens into unexplored areas to draw new tiles, revealing new resources or consequences.

Attack

Spend resources to attack other players ships or factories, to loot and gain control of their supply routes.

Budget

Spend stardust wisely to enrich your faction while still saving up enough to win.

🚧 Venture no farther! 🚧

Beyond are lands that are still being formed by the creator. You will find no treasure here; perhaps when you return, it shall be complete.

Design Process

This project has a design team consisting of three people. However, I did most of the white boarding and note taking during this section, so the writing and organization is mine even though not all the ideas are.

This whiteboard contains initial notes about game structure - jotting down ideas that are settled on and what we already know. This helped the design team get on the same page.

Writing Work

Examples of in-game text for various upgrades

Steam Engine

"Utilization of rapid ebullition in order to rotate a turbine. Prior history indicates this turbine may once have been compared to a pinwheel."
