Online Cosmic Cafe Art

Cafe Cosmos is an online restaurant management game.

As Creative Director I helped to set the tone and vision for the game visuals, and provided creative input on gameplay, feel and user experience, helping to guide and inspire the other team members with key art and visual explorations. 

My aim was to serve the project and to create a cute, colorful and gently trippy world with lots of loveable characters, good humour and good vibes. I made a lot of art- please enjoy some of it below!

Below are some ideas of how we would introduce a new gameplay feature-the production of meat-style products to the game, without having to do it the old-fashioned way!

Take care of your cosmic cow and pay respect to them, to be rewarded with cosmic beef
