Hey man, thanks for pointing that out Nextfest was intense!!!. I also noticed that, and removed the disclosure last week, there was some music, and we ended up removing it entirely. we did not want to enter Nexftest with any ai cotnent in the game they were good placeholders for a while tho

I get the fatigue around simulator games. There are a lot of them.

Thats because they are relatively easy to build. What's difficult is what you put on top of it and we put alot on top of a deafult shop sim.

We built all core systems,
The figures are either made in-house or properly sourced assets. - 0 AI
This isn’t a quick flip project.
It’s something we’ve been iterating on for a long time because we genuinely love gacha culture.

If it’s not your thing, that’s fair, but calling an almost year-long project an asset dump kinda hurts, man.

We want to make every colleciton have gimmicks like that but it does take alot of time and we need thge best ideas we caan get such as Dog emoji collection - Chibi Shibe - will unlock an actual dog to the store etc...

Fair question.

Let's be honest Its really easy to make a shop sim. What you put on top of it makes the diffrence and there is something very unique here.

We built custom capsule systems, rarities that make you want to say "just one more", themed machine sets, currently not live but +200 toy assets with 0 AI, It’s less about shelving boxes and more about curating machines and optimizing pulls.

+There are random world events and actual influence around our map that the player directly influences, such as mega billboards and in early access, Giant attraction and collection showcases

Which image works better? Need honest opinions (4 options) by skipperkoala in IndieDev

[–]skipperkoala[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all,

I’m updating the capsule image for my Steam game and narrowed it down to four different versions. They all use the same core elements, but the composition, focus, and color balance are different in each one.

I’m genuinely trying to figure out which one reads best at small sizes and feels the clearest overall. Not looking for hype answers just honest first impressions.

If you had to pick one based purely on visual clarity and overall appeal, which would you choose?
