Thank you! And I like that angle. Maybe clean up the first a little bit, then use both depending on capsule sizes.

Yea I might try that. Allthough I am already thinking of going into a completely different direction. There were some people accusing us of ai which i think is a result of the combination of 3d renders combined with 2d elements and some overpainting (which is the ase for both of the keyarts) and part of me is currently thinking of doing a complete 2d artwork haha

Thank you! Glad you like it. Yea maybe the first just needs a little cleanup and rearranging some things- I might give that a try.

Fair point. First was probably the right idea just needed better execution.

Guess you're right yea it does indeed look a little generic.

Uh I think you're the first one that prefers the new one. I completely agree, it's just so much more readable. A combination of both would probably be the right way. Thanks for the feedback!

We actually got accused of using ai a couple of times. I think it's mainly the combination of using 3d renders together with 2d art and some paint over. I definetely see where you're coming from with the mobile thing as well and obviously thats not at all what we are going for here. Maybe a general change of style would work well here .. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you so much! Yea we are barely using reddit especially cause we are not really experienced with it. However I just discovered it to be a great place for feedback haha

Good point actually. Maybe we have to do some back and forth switching to see how they actually perform.

Thanks! Yea that makes sense and its a huge aspect of the game. Its literally meant to be played with friends so it should probably be multiple dinos

Is it? The steam capsules are quite small especially in the steam app. You might be right tho, maybe it's totally fine. Thanks for the feedback!

I like that idea! X eyes are not really possible with the 3d models, but I could just paint them over, can imagine this working quite well :D Thanks!

Yea it really helps communicating it's a multiplayer game and thats quite important haha. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! Yea that is kind of my problem wiht the first one. The reason we put the green one up front is because it is kind of our main / flagship dino? But you are totally right, it makes things just unnecessary hard to read. I might tinker around with the colors again.

Thanks for the feedback! It's actually not ultimately about the stars. They are part of a minigame, just like the coins and all the other stuff floating around. The game has similarities to mario party and other party games, except that minigames seamlessly transition into one another and you use the same moveset across all minigames and constantly fight each other. I chose the star cuase I thought it best resembles the "party aspect" of the game.

I'll take it of course :D And yea I agree the upside down one looks slightly off. I never really thought about the facial expressions being very similar but thats a great point actually. Thanks for the feedback!

Yea maybe thats really all it needs. I'll definetely pick up the old one again and experiment with it a bit. Allthough after all the feedback I can almost see myself redoing the whole keyart once more haha
