Capstone Project - Furniture Cards : Bedroom [WIP]
Mood boards -
The furniture cards within my game will be how the players level up their cave's attributes. They are crafted using energy and materials and each item of furniture awards a different boost [or negative] to certain stats. Visually, the furniture should be exaggerated but still recognisable, combining both modern and prehistoric visual elements together. I am taking a lot of inspiration from the flintstones and how they make prehistoric materials feel more modern. I also like their usage of living creates in place of furniture, for example the baby mammoth vacuum cleaner and the dinosaur lawn mower.
In my mood boards I have included examples of both real historical furniture pieces, modern furniture in the "Caveman style" and some other assorted concept art that had interesting shapes to them. Colour wise, I am aiming to stick to quite a natural colour pallet [browns, greys, beiges] with occasional pops of desaturated colour. Much like the Cavepeople I have been drawing, I will use pelts as a way to add patterns to my designs and keep within the theming of my game.
Although I haven't tested if this will work yet, I think making 12 furniture cards would be enough for the game to work. That divides it so that all 4 players could have at least 3 cards each. With this in mind, I think I should keep the layouts of the cards quite minimal [with the furniture item being placed just on a simple background] so that I have enough time to draw each of them. If this becomes too much, I will reduce the number down to 8 cards.
Of these cards I would like:
1 set [4 cards] of lounge furniture : Chairs, televisions, Potted plants, Side tables
1 set [4 cards] of Bedroom furniture: Beds, bookshelves, vanities, Rugs
1 set [4 cards] of miscellaneous furniture: Paintings/general décor, Heaters/fireplaces, Security alarms, Swimming pool?
