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!

🙌 I'm Enrique, Spanish living in Malta.
I've been a videogame designer for 1.5 decades.
I battle Unreal Engine during the day, and at night I try to finish my first boardgame project with my wife: Stellar Settlers.
It's a sci-fi themed dice rolling game of strategy and luck.
Nice to meet you!

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.

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... 🎲✂️

La semana que viene organizo un taller especialmente dirigido a todas aquellas personas que quieran incluir comunicación en su plan para 2026 pero no tengan ni idea, hulio, porque nunca han trabajado con marketing.
Tanto si eres freelance, estudio o simplemente curiose: vente.

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.

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! 🫂

I created Debug to give indie gaming fans an “offline” way to enjoy this hobby.
The same way I used to read Edge, PC Gamer, and OXM growing up.
It feels give to take your eyes off screens for a short moment.

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.

Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.
Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.
