The Oregon Trail: American Settler was an invest-and-express farm-building game that I had the pleasure of art directing during my time at Gameloft. Although the project is nearly two decades old—and built in Flash—it marked my entry into the games industry and remains a meaningful milestone in my career. While the visuals are reflective of their time, I think the art direction still carries a whimsical, charming quality that captures the spirit of the game.
