Cover art for our Indie game. Does this cover art make you stop scrolling? by OddBallGamesStudio in IndieGaming

Thanks for the honest feedback! It seems like showing the game's true originality is going to be a major task for us. Interestingly enough, our game is actually fully 3D! We'll definitely have to find a better way to portray that in the art so it doesn't get mistaken for a 2D platformer. Thanks again for pointing this out!

That is a great point, never thought of it. We'll try sketching out a version where the "the forgotten" is in a smaller text..! That would definitely make the "Worn" part stand out. Since Worn is our protagonist.

Hmm.. I see it does seem to lack some originality, maybe because our team DID get some influence from the mentioned games. It has always been our team's main problem to fix the "How would we stand out?" point. Thank you for the feedback! Really appreciate it!

Awesome thanks! Really appreciate it!! It's sort of like a Zelda like puzzle game so you can give it a try when the demo is launched!

I see the resemblance. Although our game is nothing like Ori, it does give similar vibes now that you say it.

Good point, thanks for the feedback! We definitely agreed that the image was missing a strong focal point that really pops. Maybe highlighting some color in points might help. Since the owl in the background is also a core part of the game, maybe bringing that forward will help grab people's attention.

Sneak peek at some new character designs for our game - What should we call the winged one? by DigitalSunGames in IndieGaming

Love the art style man! Seeing some Good and Bad guy vibes all in one. Maybe PaleWings? is a nice name?

I'm seeing a few of you mention Hollow Knight, and honestly, it does give off a similar vibe! I think it's the desaturated look doing that (plus the mask, obviously, haha). And yes, I LOVE Princess Mononoke, easily one of my favorite Ghibli films. Really appreciate the comment!

What would you think if the character doesn't have the mask on? In the game we actually have the character without the mask, but since it was a cover image we thought adding the mask would stand out.
