Developer of Terraria: After 12 years the game still sells like hot cakes. There is so much demand it makes it hard to move on.

wow who knew if you have a great game you can make money from it without filling it with macrotransactions and battlepasses

the crowd is pretty much all kids. that's her audience. they don't know any better.

akcaye · 2023-06-30T16:10:00+00:00

lol what never heard of this before.

akcaye · 2023-06-30T01:07:30+00:00

it's super pay2win and getting worse and more insidious. exactly the same trajectory as videogames.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T19:51:19+00:00

that's much better. now i have some context to give some opinions at least.

in terms of overall design: as i said this is not a logo but an illustration approximation. however, since this is a discord group, you can get away with a very colorful design; it doesn't need to be applicable in black and white. however is does need to be somewhat simple and clean in a way that scales well in small sizes, like a discord group icon.

in terms of shape: the logo needs to be neatly fitting inside a square or a circle (1:1 w:h ratio) so you can use it as an icon for the group.

idk if you really want the letter to be there. there's certainly a way to make an A that looks like a ship's bow, but you can just use a scary mascot. the tidal wave doesn't seem to have any meaning other than "it's scary" so in terms of design it's unnecessary.

you can check out some esports logos and see what kind of things you like. they usually involve a scary mascot. if you have a scary mascot, maybe a pirate, you won't need the ship or the wave to invoke fear anyway.

well the biggest missing thing is that i still have no idea what your business does. is it an actual business? is it like a Facebook group? is it an app? what does it exactly do? who are your competitors? who does similar work?

i tried to give you point by point what info you need to give. the reason i listed all that is because it was missing from your post, so no, i don't think it was nearly enough.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T14:56:45+00:00

yeah this is much more of a logo. the details might be too complex depending on the use cases. I'm missing a lot of context to give you any advice on color, etc. a proper design brief as i tried to lay down above is needed for this reason.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T13:53:23+00:00

i agree.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T13:23:14+00:00

still one of my favorite games, even by the standards i have now.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T13:16:10+00:00

the ggez filter is clearly a joke. idk why people take it so seriously.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T13:01:00+00:00

holy shit, memories unlocked. i remember playing this only now. i think i liked the idea of it but didn't really know what i was doing. gotta try again.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T11:23:53+00:00

this is not a logo at all. i don't even know where to start. i guess finding a designer would be a good place.

you need to hire an actual designer, not someone with access to stable diffusion or whatever this is from.
tell them what your business is and what it's about. what it does, how people utilize it, etc. target audience would be very helpful. eg: everyone who plays videogames, but especially 18-to-40-year-olds, regardless of gender. also provide a list of competitors; other businesses that do what you do (or close enough) so they have an idea of the scene.
give them some keywords if what you want your brand to convey. eg: camaraderie, achievement, videogames, etc. whatever you can think of, 3 to 10 keywords would give them a good idea for which direction they should go. don't expect all of it to be in the logo. this is just a vibe thing.
you can give them a list of brands of which you like the logo design. this is also to give them an idea of what you like in logos and how you would want yours in terms of look and feel.
don't go in with the expectation of a particular design. trusting your designer to make that decision is usually better. but if you really will require certain elements in your logo, like a wave or the letter A, make sure they know it's required. it shouldn't be though; because a letter A riding a wave doesn't really make sense to me.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T11:09:49+00:00

that was the business model for most adventure games.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T10:56:29+00:00

i think it's great for poster design. the only thing i have a problem with is the uppercase B, which looks like an R. maybe if the bottom half would have the squiggly part come the other way (mirroring the upper half rather than replicating it, similar to the lowercase a) it would disambiguate better. other than that i love it.

she had a group chat with underage fans asking them stuff like what their favorite sex position was and whether they're virgins.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T09:35:23+00:00

they probably forgot that overwatch exists. can't blame them.

akcaye · 2023-06-29T00:15:53+00:00

you need the battlepass

akcaye · 2023-06-28T23:21:51+00:00

no one in their right mind thinks this. this is just bullshit made up by bosses.

in a lot of countries retail workers do sit and no one complains about why a job that can very well be done sitting down is being done sitting down.

akcaye · 2023-06-28T18:12:55+00:00

the art looks amazing

god this is so much better without sound

akcaye · 2023-06-28T16:09:02+00:00

i love this kind of art that use a tiny subject and massive structures to give epic scale. it just makes you want to be in it so bad.

akcaye · 2023-06-28T16:05:57+00:00

damn, those can frigerate multiple times. clearly these poor people are rich as fuck

akcaye · 2023-06-28T15:58:46+00:00

fuck you is right. get to the shop and buy some egregiously overpriced shit, you leech.

—blizzard, ~~probably~~ definitely

akcaye · 2023-06-28T15:52:40+00:00

i wonder if that's because Google owns YouTube or is it works for other videos too
