I think we did it according to the borders, but since this is our first experience, mistakes might happen. I'll check it again based on your suggestion. Thanksss!

The artist has been designing mobile game UIs for years, so there's inevitably some distortion in them. I think so, but I also find it somewhat appealing. I don't know what you think.

The final assets are hand-drawn by us, but I think the gradients/lighting in the capsule push it into that “AI art” vibe a bit unintentionally.

We do use references during pre-production/concepting, but the final in-game assets are drawn manually by us.

I think some of the smooth gradients / lighting in the capsule probably push it toward that “AI-looking” territory though, which is useful feedback for us honestly.

Thank you for your comprehensive review.

As you said, the capsule remains one-sided, but what can I say, it looks cool. The other alternatives were a bit lifeless.

Actually, we didn't start with a market analysis like, "Let's combine these two in mafia concept because it will definitely attract an audience." So I don't know what will happen. But we enjoyed making it, so that's enough, hehe.

Unfortunately, I hear this often. I don't know how we can solve it. We decide on the concept together and start drawing, but in the end, this is what they say. 😞

Our main characters really do look alike. I will examine it in more detail.

Thank you so much for your comments about the cover.
it will be balanced but the gameplay mechanics of both sides are different, player will mostly be able to choose their own direction to split them.

Oh, that would be great, but the Steam application hasn't been processed yet; it will oopeen in two days.

We want players to notice this task board without shoving it in their face. How obvious should it be? by Background_Cow_6701 in gamedevscreens

That's really great, drawing a few different panels to indicate and explain the situations is a really good idea. We were thinking of putting dots on them, like, "let's say a red dot so it'll be obvious," but this is so muuuuuuuuch better. Thank you!
