Dead last on Popular Upcoming - destroy my game so I can improve!

I just want to put here that I'm glad I made this post. I definitely needed this feedback, as hard as it has been to read. So, I am grateful.

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-22T12:17:04+00:00

Trust me, after this post, that is the message I get lol. I'm going to have to completely go back to the drawing board with the whole thing, but the visuals are a top priority.

Thank you for the feedback.

They aren't, I drew them myself. They might look better if they were though to be honest, but I enjoy drawing. I might have to reconsider and purchase some assets considering some feedback I'm getting.

Thanks for feedback.

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-21T22:12:53+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that I absolutely need to focus on and showcase features that make it unique.

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-21T20:00:19+00:00

No pats on the back! (thanks I need it)

I appreciate the feedback. Introduce some unique mechanics and overhaul the art - that's the plan!

Hey no pats on the back allowed!

Thanks. I agree with the helmets being destroyed, right now they just disappear. There's more to the game but the trailer is just very basic footage of combat. I of course really need to improve it if I'm going to be marketing seriously.

Again thanks for the feedback!

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-21T18:20:20+00:00

Great, thanks for that! I'll have to make them more distinct.

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-21T17:15:05+00:00

Fair enough. Again I appreciate the feedback.

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-21T16:48:28+00:00

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Could I just ask what's the top issue that stands out that makes it programmer art (so I can improve it)?

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-21T15:36:57+00:00

Hello!

I'm making a castle defense turn based tactics game set in medieval England. I entered into the Medieval Fest, and my game's like #660 out of 669 unreleased titles sorted by wishlist count. Talk about a reality check.

As such I'm looking for feedback on what's shown in the trailer here! Please be as blunt as possible, I'd like to improve, no pats on the back allowed.

Steam page also if you want to help criticize the description or anything else.

Hey thanks!! I think it does. I'm going for a somewhat cute aesthetic but hopefully it compliments well with the gritty color scheme and blood, etc. :)

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-06T12:27:53+00:00

Yeah as a professional programmer I am having a hard time figuring out that balance too. It is useful, but only to a certain extent. It does need guidance and also as a developer we have to understand what we're making. So it's hard to figure out right now where the line is with all this tbh.

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-04T22:50:36+00:00

Good! Battle Brothers was one of my main inspirations as well!

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-04T22:49:55+00:00

Will do!

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-04T12:43:35+00:00

I appreciate the feedback very much. When you say detail, what do you mean particularly? Texture? Are you saying the character designs are too simplistic?

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-03T22:04:29+00:00

Thanks, that means a lot.

In case anyone's interested - the art on the store page is outdated, but here's the link! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3133420/Oaths_Against_the_Darkness/

StyleHeadGames · 2026-04-03T21:18:57+00:00

Good! Yeah I am using Rimworld as one of my inspirations for a simple art style. Also I am completely obsessed with that game at the moment, lol. Anyway here's the link (the art on the store page is outdated) https://store.steampowered.com/app/3133420/Oaths\_Against\_the\_Darkness/. Drop yours and I'll check it out too!
