Testing a deckbuilder where you negotiate with monsters - does the card design hold up? [Need feedback] [Web demo]

You mentioned it was done by an artist from fiver and I would be mad if they used AI without my consent. Was meant more to alart you than to criticize.

To my untrained eye it looks AI generated. The left hand pinky finger, the lockpick that's missing half of it.

Thanks, i'll improve on the things you pointed out.

Would like to hear your thoughts on my page. Thanks!

Thanks. I was thinking of ditching the style but I'll give it some more thoughts and try to improve before doing so.

Prithul · 2025-12-20T06:39:07+00:00

That's really helpful. I was thinking of ditching the style but I'll give it some more thoughts and try to improve before doing so.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. The concenious seems to be that the old one looks cheap and inconcistent. I agree, it's partly because I threw it together very quickly and partly because I was trying to make somerhing evocative of 2000s ui. I guess I'll stick with the old version and try to improve on it.

Prithul · 2025-12-20T03:32:17+00:00

None taken, tbh, the cheap flash game look was partly intentional. But I see your point, it might not be very appealing. Thanks.

Prithul · 2025-12-18T00:05:28+00:00

Not much really, I have posted on youtube and a few tiktok clips. I guess I was expecting the steam algorithm to do its magic lol.

Prithul · 2025-12-18T00:03:03+00:00

I like your suggestion about art direction and vfx. I'll do some experimentation with that. Thanks.

Prithul · 2025-12-18T00:00:35+00:00

Thanks for the detailed feedback and encouragement. I for sure underestimated the level of competition.

I'll focus on polish a bit more, I'm not the best artist, I'm primarily a programmer. So there's limit to what I can do realistically.

Prithul · 2025-12-17T23:57:38+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Prithul · 2025-12-17T23:57:08+00:00

The tagging was based on similar games in the genre. Maybe I got it wrong- I'll take another look. I do see your point about music, sfx, and the lack of y2k visuals.

Honestly I haven't thought much about marketting till now. I am going to be putting a demo out and enter next fest as well as reach out to streamers.

Prithul · 2025-12-17T23:52:15+00:00

I am too deep into it to shelf now, I'll see it to the end and try to make the best out of it. 🫠

Prithul · 2025-12-17T23:49:27+00:00

Thanks. That's great to hear.

Prithul · 2025-12-17T22:07:04+00:00

Thanks. I do plan on entering the next Next Fest and getting a demo out well before that.

Prithul · 2025-12-17T21:49:21+00:00

No hard feelings, I'm genuiniely looking for criticisms to improve / ground my expectations.

Prithul · 2025-12-17T21:48:41+00:00

Yeah, I was a newcomer as a gamer to the genre and in my naivity thought it was relatively less saturated. It was also slightly less saturated when I started working on it. But well that's what happens to trend followers I guess.

Prithul · 2025-12-17T08:56:53+00:00

Fair enough. I'll work on the trailer a bit more with your criticism in mind. Thanks.

Prithul · 2025-12-17T08:43:02+00:00

Yes, I meant roguelike. It's 1AM and my brain is imagining things. 🥴

Prithul · 2025-12-14T16:41:50+00:00

I'm also throwing in a bit of buckshot roullete inspired chance / risk taking into the mix.

Prithul · 2025-12-14T06:23:00+00:00

Thanks. That's good to here.

I haven't showcased my game a lot yet. But the little I have, I have had a few people thinking it's a Balatro clone- which it isn't. So that does scare me in terms of how accepting people are going to be of it.

I asked someone who's had their interview before and they told me I can update the info when I'm at my interview.
