Deep Rock Galactic: The Board Game Component Showcase
I like to share some behind-the-scenes work from the various Deep Rock Galactic: The Board Game expansions.
1. From sketch to finished component
I was given a sketch for a component for the Space Rig expansion. I took it into Photoshop, created a 3D asset for marketing, animated a short board-game trailer where it featured, and eventually saw it printed on cardboard.
2. When you run out of grenades
For some of the expansions, we ran out of existing source material for grenades. Working from an asset description by game designer Ole Steines, I created some in-universe concepts, followed by the final grenade art and the corresponding cards and tokens.
3. Cave hiders
These were created as a way of randomizing the modular caves without players being able to recognize what's coming next from the scuff marks on the regular tiles. Just swap em out!
4. The Barrel Game

The making of the Double-Sided Space Rig Board: It was a fun project, trying to make a flat element feel as dimensional as possible, even though it’s just a board. The fact that it’s double-layered definitely helped
