1 Know your target audience

The first step to integrating game art with game design is to know who you are making the game for. Different audiences have different expectations, preferences, and tastes when it comes to game art and game design. For example, casual gamers may prefer simple and intuitive art styles and gameplay, while hardcore gamers may seek more complex and realistic art styles and gameplay. Knowing your target audience will help you tailor your game art and game design to suit their needs and desires, and avoid alienating or confusing them.

Making a game for kids usually involve basic art without much realistic or details. Targeting player above 18 years old involve realistic arts for the game as most people in this category demanding this kind of arts. I found out that game like Roblox would love by kids and teenager mostly as the art does not need any realistic perception.

Knowing your target audience can be more complex than you think. Its important to really dig in and study who your audience is, what they like, why they like it, et cetera. Get into the nuances. Watch the market. Go beyond just looking at games. The better you understand them the more readily you can leverage that understanding against your goals to deliver the art that works the best in the game design to further the larger objectives. Casual does not mean simple. Prejudices like that are what you can get rid of with proper study and understanding.

2 Establish a clear art direction

The second step to integrating game art with game design is to establish a clear art direction for your game. Art direction is the overall visual style, theme, and mood of your game, and it should be consistent and coherent throughout the game. Art direction should also support and enhance the game design, and vice versa. For example, if your game is a horror game, you may want to use dark and gloomy colors, shadows, and lighting to create a sense of fear and tension, and also design gameplay elements that reinforce that feeling, such as jump scares, limited resources, and enemies. A clear art direction will help you create a unified and memorable game experience.

Having clear art direction can help ensure that all the work is consistent and follows a unified vision. It is a touchstone informing all choices and decisions. Particularly as game development is highly collaborative involving many stakeholders. This includes things like particular stylization, composition, brand colours, and more. The resulting work should all look like its been done by one consistent hand, regardless of the number of contributors.

3 Use reference and inspiration

The third step to integrating game art with game design is to use reference and inspiration from other sources. Reference and inspiration can help you generate ideas, learn from others, and avoid reinventing the wheel. You can use reference and inspiration from various sources, such as other games, movies, books, comics, art, history, culture, and nature. However, you should not copy or plagiarize from other sources, but rather use them as a starting point or a guide for your own creativity. You should also make sure that your reference and inspiration are relevant and appropriate for your game art and game design, and that they do not conflict or contradict each other.

Don't be afraid of reference and inspiration. No work of art exists in a vacuum. All art is referential, and using clear references and inspiration can help provide a shorthand for communication, convey subtleties with cultural touchstones, and can also help you know if you're getting too close to any inspiration sources and need to diverge more. Visual communication will really help your process.

4 Collaborate and communicate

The fourth step to integrating game art with game design is to collaborate and communicate with your team members. Game development is a team effort, and it requires constant communication and feedback between the game artists and the game designers, as well as other roles, such as programmers, writers, sound designers, and testers. Collaboration and communication can help you avoid misunderstandings, errors, and conflicts, and also improve the quality and efficiency of your work. You can use various tools and methods to collaborate and communicate, such as meetings, emails, chats, documents, sketches, prototypes, and playtests.

5 Optimize and iterate

The fifth step to integrating game art with game design is to optimize and iterate your work. Optimization and iteration are the processes of improving and refining your work, based on testing, feedback, and data. Optimization and iteration can help you fix bugs, errors, and glitches, improve performance and compatibility, and enhance usability and accessibility. Optimization and iteration can also help you polish and balance your game art and game design, and make them more appealing and satisfying for the players. You should optimize and iterate your work throughout the development cycle, and not leave them until the end.

6 Learn and grow

The sixth and final step to integrating game art with game design is to learn and grow from your experience. Game development is a learning process, and you should always seek to improve your skills, knowledge, and understanding of game art and game design. You can learn and grow from various sources, such as feedback, reviews, analytics, research, courses, books, blogs, podcasts, and forums. You can also learn and grow from your own mistakes, failures, and successes, and use them as opportunities to improve your future projects. Learning and growing will help you become a better game developer, and create better games.
