BLACK METRO
ABSOLUTE ASCENDANCY
BRIEF
‘Dark Metro is a strategic control game where players battle each other to amass the most power and become the next ruler of the dark city.'
Hired as an artist for Black Metro, I was responsible for editing and refining pre-existing artwork, branding elements, and packaging design. My role evolved alongside the game’s development, supporting visual consistency and clarity as feedback from playtesting informed ongoing changes.
