Pat Ward – Art Director
Greetings,
This introduction is overdue, yet right on time. Shenandoah brought Patrick Ward on as a partner back in November, 2011 to be our Art Director and leader of how we appear visually to the outside world.
Patrick has a rich background in 3-D animation, working for some of the top firms in console gaming. He also knows sound, graphic design, web design, and more. Take a quick look at this video and the others from Pat’s vimeo portfolio.
Pat is also a serious boardgamer, especially of block games from Columbia Games, game which I love personally too.
Plus, he sounds like John Lennon, which is a major plus in our book.
Indeed, Pat graduated from Liverpool University – but after Gerry and Pacemakers – and continues to live outside Liverpool.
Academy games began working with Pat as a freelancer before he joined Shenandoah and the maps that he is creating for the second edition of their “Awakening the Bear” game are simply astounding. Â It is a great game too and I highly recommend it.
Pat is posting lots of information about our “Battle of the Bulge” game and his work on the graphics. We who work here have been fortunate to watch the graphics evolve over time and the results are simply stunning. We are pleased to welcome Pat to the team publically and hope you will follow his design diaries.
Cheers,
E
Eric Lee Smith
Founder & CEO
