Art Director / Game Producer

Project Highlights

For The Barman Story, a match-3 PC game developed in collaboration with a Ukrainian studio, I took on dual roles as Art Director and Game Producer. I led the visual development, guiding a team of 2D concept artists to create storyboards and character designs that fit the game’s narrative and vision. I provided reference materials and continuous feedback to ensure the final look met quality standards. In addition to overseeing the art, I was responsible for managing the project budget on our side, ensuring that resources were allocated effectively. I worked closely with the external team, who managed locations, programming, and music. Despite strong progress, the project was ultimately shelved due to financial challenges faced by our Ukrainian partners

Barman is a match 3 game. The story of the game is the bar was inherited by the main player from his grandfather. The place is in ruins and it is up to the player to make it functional and reach its prime again.
