Step 1 Choosing a 2D Game Art Style

Step 2 Creating Concept Art for a 2D game

Here illustrators combine various approaches to find the best option for the NPCs and game objects of the upcoming 2D video game. It is worth mentioning that sketches created on this stage are not the final version of the project’s visual style and it could drastically change in the future.

Step 3 NPCs and Game Environment Design

The main stage of a game is visual style development. This is where illustrators make their magic, the game world, and characters to perfectly fit in it. The main point here is the perfectly coordinated work of the 2D game artists who are in charge of the NPCs and the environment graphics.

Step 4 2D game UI/UX Design

As we mentioned earlier – user-friendly and intuitive UI/UX design is the key to the success of any 2D game. Also, art for the game icons and all kinds of various status bars is created and the dev team makes sure that they perfectly fit in the game’s style.
