Indie developer, creating Persevere, a survival management strategy game (https://perseveregame.com) Technical Director #NoesisGUI (https://noesisengine.com)

Persevere's Art Direction slide. It states that Persevere's goals include having a strong, immediately recognizable visual identity, and a stylized painterly sci-fi aesthetic that remains grounded.

The final draft of the core loop slide for Persevere's pitch deck.

Persevere is a roguelike strategy game that fuses survival management with tower defense. Stranded on a hostile alien tomb world and hunted by drones, you must salvage a locomotive, recruit a crew, and chart a path across a strange planet dotted with enigmatic alien complexes and failing human colonies.

Fend off waves of aliens, gather vital supplies, unearth lost technology, expand your train, uncover the secrets of this forgotten world, and keep your battered crew intact as you search for a means of escape.
