Maikaaaaaa — 2D Game Art & Visual Development

Maikaaaaaa is a cosy plant-care simulation game where players take on the role of a cat owner learning to become a plant parent. The goal is to nurture a catnip sprout into a fully grown, flowering plant while managing its water and light levels, adapting to changing weather and dealing with interruptions from curious cats.

As Art Lead, I was responsible for creating the game’s visual assets and establishing its overall visual direction. I illustrated the game’s assets, including the plant, cats and other in-game elements, contributing to the visual identity and atmosphere of the experience.

This project gave me an opportunity to explore game art and asset creation while developing my skills in illustrating unfamiliar subjects, particularly cats and plants.
