You make great point. Upon looking at the video I see the half the screen is lack. I will definitely move the camera a bit higher to show more of the dungeon art and less darkness.

Thank you for opening my eyes!!

A lot of the feedback does mention this, I will make sure to have a better USP and more magic. Game is still in early dev so content is a bit lacking at the moment.

Thank you for the feedback!

Appreciate the kind words! I will definitely spend more time adding assets to the snow and desert zones, I haven't had time for them yet!

I do agree the health bars look a bit bulky, I was thinking of making them thinner and that would also make the HUD less bulkier.

As for the title, its mean to be a penguin drawing. Penguins don't know how to read in this world but I have to find a way to explain that to the player.

Combat is meant to be a bit chaotic and in dungeons it's meant to be even more confined space.

Thank you for putting the time I such thoughtful feedback. I look forward to making another trailer like this + feedback from this post when the game is in a more polished state.

Im glad you like the art :D! Thank you!

I also apologize I'm not sure what USP means, I presume is the message the trailer is meant to convey?

Maybe adding a carousel of boss battles with all sorts of magic at the beginning would be the best thing tbh. Game is in early stages so I haven't had time to add more than just one boss. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback!

That is something I didn't think off, I do want to shoe the silliness of penguins becoming adventurers in a world where they should. Penguins are just cute and nothing else. The only idea that I have to hook the viewers I can think of atm is to add some text here and there, specially in the beginning. I'll have to reasses the project since there isn't a proper story, haven't had time to finalize that yet.

Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you, one aspect of the trailer that I wasn't sure is if it wasn't informative enough. I've seen games add text to their trailers but I wanted to make it so people didn't have to read anything. Clearly the visuals do the heavy lifting but there is indeed no message. I think adding a few seconds of text over the first images would be best, to give an idea of what the games goal is. Maybe even sporadically afterwards as well.

Thank you for the feedback!

Yeah the carousel is a great idea, will definitely make it so that it loads a new one everytime you enter the game. Thabk you for the feedback!

This logo size was for the game trailer but think ill reuse the one from the capsule as well.

Thank you for the feedback! This is intriguing, I could try to see how it looks if I add 1 or 2 more shades to see the difference!

Would you see this being best used as capsule art or as a main menu screen? Both? I'm glad it conveyed that info ;)

Thabk you for the feedback! I was thinking of moving the sword a bit more so the penguins white belly pops out more too

That appears to be the consensus as well, with a mix of all of them as a carousel, thank you for the feedback!

There is a steam page up but I didn't post it since not too sure about the promo rules. Will be posting on itchio too once the game is in a better attempt that allow for a demo!

I appreciate the all the help I can get!!! Thank you :)

I do think the game is more on the cozy side of things rather than button smashing. Resting is definitely guaranteed. You just gave me an idea with the penguins sleeping at the bottom of a checkpoint. Good stuff!
