In Bloom
Game Design
Nostalgic, Vintage-InspiredIn Bloom is a fast-paced, garden-inspired card game that transforms the process of plant growth into a dynamic, interactive experience. Drawing from nostalgic seed packet design, the visual system is both playful and refined, using modular illustrations that stack together to form a complete plant. The project explores how clear visual hierarchy and simple rules can create an experience that is easy to learn, yet engaging and competitive in play.
The Challenge
One of the primary challenges in developing In Bloom was balancing simplicity with strategic depth. Designing a game that could be learned quickly while still feeling engaging required multiple iterations of the rule set and mechanics.
