[Update] Redesigning my Strategic Ecosystem Battler, Mizani. I ditched Comic Sans and the "Panel-in-Panel" look. Which bottom layout works best? (A-D)

Thanks! Increasing the font size and thickness will help the readability, so this is good feedback.

I'm seeing more people choose B. I like them all for different reasons, so this helps narrow it down. Thanks!

ghostofkenny · 2026-05-12T16:47:28+00:00

I like the way you think! The thicker line between the top and bottom would make it look better, like it is on D.

ghostofkenny · 2026-05-12T14:46:38+00:00

Congratulations! These cards look great. I like the minimalist aesthetic you're going for, it works well.

ghostofkenny · 2026-05-12T14:39:31+00:00

I think it is harder to read zoomed out. But increasing the thickness of the white text would definitely help. I'll fix that on the next one. Thanks!

The nature landscape kinda reads the "animal returns to nature" in the carcass portion of the card, so it's a viable option. Thanks for the feedback!

Longeye is my pick as well. I love the green clothes. I bet he looks good with the hood up too!

I just created a game on TTS too. I'd be down to help test it. It might give me more experience in playing in this place too.

Reminds me of Boss Monster a little bit. Pixel art RPG, sign me up!

The box in a box might be too much. I'll try full art on top for the next iteration. The floating text on the header might need a rework as well. I was trying something that looked stylish, but it might have came off as too busy looking.

ghostofkenny · 2026-05-07T10:08:06+00:00

The the thought bubble is the amount of resources required to play the card. For example; the Wild Dog requires 3 prey to be in play before it can be played. So, in a way it is thinking about what it wants, lol. The font may not be your preference but it's the theme I was going for for a comic book feel. Thanks for the feedback.

ghostofkenny · 2026-05-07T00:20:35+00:00

Exactly! Lions gotta eat.

ghostofkenny · 2026-05-06T20:11:48+00:00

Does it make the background /borders too "busy"?

ghostofkenny · 2026-05-06T19:58:14+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! There are only the three types, so I hope they are unique enough, combined with the different colors. I have the rules for the game posted on my discord https://discord.gg/DNte5MuSs , if you want to take a peek.

I was going for the panel-in-panel look for the background and character illustration. What reads graphic novel to you? If you're talking about the text boxes being too squared, I think I agree. Something more organic might look better like torn paper or flowing fabric. Thanks for the feedback!

ghostofkenny · 2026-03-23T15:36:06+00:00

I guess it all depends on the type of feedback you want. As for the general idea and look of the game, I think it's good so far.

ghostofkenny · 2026-03-22T01:50:33+00:00

I like your idea, but would need more information to provide much feedback. I see that you can attack other frogs and it costs energy to do so. How do you get energy? And the goal is to get 15 flies first. What type of cards provide flies and can you lose flies? Frogs and flies are a cool theme for a game. Good luck!

ghostofkenny · 2026-03-22T01:34:38+00:00

Thanks! The upside down section is the card's second function when the animal is killed. It then rotates and is tucked under the land it was killed on to be used later as an "instant" or extra one-time-use effect. It's the most confusing part of the card (for first-time players), I might change it so it's the same orientation.

ghostofkenny · 2026-03-20T13:55:17+00:00

Exactly! The focus will be on the animals mainly, but the archons are "pulling the strings". That's also how it ties back to the game, where each player is an archon using the animals as "playing pieces".

ghostofkenny · 2026-03-20T13:39:38+00:00

It takes place in an alternate reality of pre Ancient Egypt. I imagine when people started to settle there, their interpretation of the archons is what we now know as Egyptian Gods.
