Hi Bluesky!

I'm a pixel artist based in Tokyo 🇯🇵 making a (huge) 2D Pixel Art RPG in Godot 4 engine.

Here is some of my game art made in the last few months. ✨

Yeah, very valid and helpful,thank you!

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 1d

Aaah damn. It looks like a door huh 😅

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 1d

Got em all right, but yeah the card game is my main hurdle atm

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 1d

It seems opinions were quite split on that. I think around half of people guessed it right, but multiple also told me it looks like doors/frames, or just unclear

I made this alternate design since, which im assuming is a bit more obvious 🤔

Theres no wrong, its the devs responsibility to communicate properly!

Thx for the feedback

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

The angle i also thought of but its not feasible at this low resolution. Only readable option is straight cards.

Thx for the feedback!

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

Very good points. I actually thought the same and tried a different version

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

You broke the universe. Well done

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

there is definitely easier things than moving to Japan, there is no doubt about that! 😆

hope you will love it here though!

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

Yeah its a tricky one, unfortunately i dont have a great solution for these very reasons 😕

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

I dont recommend asking people who arent willing to vouch for you or you dont know more closely for this purpose, unless you want to potentially burden them

When there is a Japanese speaking contact you can rest assured they will always opt for this option first

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

Gotcha. Thank you! 🙏

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

Peoples feedback is invaluable really appreciate it!

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

Great, theyre correct.

The last one is play Cards, the most tricky one

thanks for the feedback!

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

each card has a different palette matching the art represented, so there has to be some kind of generic card color

currently i went with brown since thats the main palette for the backside of the cards, which you see when playing the game

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

2 out of 4 are spot on, thx for the feedback :D

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

appreciate the feedback!

its tricky with low resolution, and even when things are more clear up close sometimes you zoom out and it all becomes muddled lol

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

hmm, to me the third card reads like a dropshadow and the different alignment of the three cards in total throws me off a bit?

im hoping that since the player will know about the card game and its prompt its enough to make it clear 🤔

do think it looks better with the backside one

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

Like this? im kinda digging it, great idea

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

the last one is play Cards, seems to be the least understandable one

thx for the feedback!

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

interesting, you got the last one right (its more like triple triad than queensblood tho)

but i didnt expect the third one (its shop). didnt consider this interpretation, so thank you for pointing it out cause it makes perfect sense

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

thank you!

the last on is play Card Game, which will be explained prior but I still wanted to know if its kinda intuitive

seems to be the hardest one to grasp

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

great, those are all correct.

could you clarify what you mean with the card on top being flipped? you mean one card is showing its back?

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

I also tried one that resembles the card design more like you mentioned, but I felt like the icon itself was less readable

Moonfell RPG @moonfell-rpg.com · 2d

great ideas thank you, and i did try all of those but this is the best design i could come up with.

tilted card like the traditional playing cards icon looked weird and less readable at this resolution, while three cards required the bubble to be quite a bit bigger making the other designs bulky
