While working at Yggdrasil Gaming's Lab I have led the Table Games project from early concept to late development.
Some of my duties included:
– Leading an internal development team
– Product Management
– Managing the project
– Coordinating the work of 4 external studios
– Art direction
– UX and UI design
The game is available in online casinos all over the world, but you can play it for free here:
Alternative characters
Character modelling
The same team from Black Studios then sculpted the models and rigged them. Some motion capture snapshots can be found at the bottom of this page where I show the development progress.
Environment concepts
The concepts for the interior of our small casino room were provided by Blaze Reel Animation, a Maltese studio specializing in 3D videos.
Environment modelling
A Romanian studio, AMC Pixel Factory, brought the environment concepts to life.
UI Design
I created the early UI design and worked on the game flow with our internal team. The results can be seen below. Later, Edisonda, a Polish UX studio redesigned it and provided the final look – it can be seen in the game today, so feel free to follow the game link to see how it changed.

Gameplay chart
Here's a chart showing our gameplay stages that I have created for the devs to use as a basis for the game's logic. This required me to become quite well versed in BJ ruleset, which ended up losing me some money at a few casinos.
Development work in progress
The Table Games project spent over a year at the Lab of Yggdrasil Gaming. We formed an internal team that was later transformed into an independent product team that finalized the production.
The game started as a very general concept of a table game that I sketched while still working as an Art Team Lead at Yggdrasil's studio. Find the development milestones below.
Hope you enjoyed this presentation!
Again, the game can be played here:
It currently has two spinoffs:
