About

Hi, I'm Oliver! I'm making a board game art production desktop app called Templative.

Templative helps you quickly iterate on your designs by batching art updates. Create print-and-plays, upload files to the GameCrafter, or import it into Tabletop Simulator - all with one button press. This saves hundreds of hours of manual work.

How Templative Came to Be

Back in college, my friend and I were designing a 1v1 wargame. After attending a get together with lots of party games, he was inspired to adapt our design into a 4v4 team game. However, since he wasn't familiar with design tools, he needed my help to create the prototype. Unfortunately, I was swamped with coursework at the time and couldn't help bring his vision to life.

This experience highlighted a common problem in game design - great ideas getting blocked by technical and knowledge barriers. My friend had an innovative concept but lacked the means to execute it.

That's why I created Templative - to streamline the creation process and to enfranchise all the would-be design teams. That way, no one might face these obstacles again.
