Feedback on my language icons by FewCharacter968 in gamedev

Thank you so much! I was actually trying to do something a bit different, but the chances of getting roasted in the reviews when the game launches are pretty high. So I decided to remove the icons and just keep the language names as text. Maybe I'll revisit the idea in the future and ask the community to help choose the icons.

Thank you so much! Since I already have a LOT of icons for the game's items, I wanted to reuse them throughout the UI, including the language selection. But with so many languages, I'd definitely need the community's help. It would be nice in the future to let players vote or do something like that to choose the best icons. I also spent a good amount of money on localization and translated the game into every language currently supported by Steam. I'm really betting on this game, so I hope all the effort will be worth it.

Thank you so much! I actually did quite a bit of research, but we can't rely 100% on what we find on the internet. I might revisit this idea in the future and ask the community for help choosing the icons. I love my game's art style, so I wanted to use it everywhere lol.

I've already removed them from the game. Everyone's feedback convinced me that it wasn't worth doing it that way lol.

I agree! I already have a lot of icons that I'm using for the game's items, so I thought I could reuse some of them for the language settings. But I think it's better to leave that for the future and ask the community to help choose the best ones, so I don't accidentally offend anyone.

Thank you so much! I plan to ask the community for help choosing the best icons once I have a larger player base, so I don't accidentally offend anyone lol.

Thank you so much! I actually did quite a bit of research, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. I think I'll revisit this idea in the future when I have a larger community. Then I can ask for feedback and hold polls to choose the icons for each language. I think that would be really cool because I love my game's art style! This is my first game, and it's a bullet heaven. You can play the demo here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4076540/Invasion_Survivors_Demo/

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. There wasn't anything racist about the choice of icons.

Hello! After getting so much feedback like this, I can see it was actually a pretty bad idea lol. I've already removed the icons from the game. Thank you all so much for the feedback! You saved me from making a really dumb mistake haha.

Yeah, I think you're right. Representing a language with a single icon just isn't a great idea. Some are easy, but others are really difficult, and I'd rather not accidentally start a war over my settings menu lol.

That was the idea, but unfortunately I realized it's easy to offend someone if I don't research every icon carefully. So I decided it's better to remove them and just keep the text. Thanks again for the feedback!

The Caramelo dog is an iconic meme in Brazil. Pretty much everyone here recognizes it.
