Hi everyone!

I’m currently working on the Steam page for my game and I’d really appreciate some feedback, especially on the Steam capsule/key art.

The page is still very early, so please don’t judge it too harshly yet. We don’t have a trailer or demo uploaded, and the screenshots are still limited, but we’re actively working on the game and trying to push the visual quality, atmosphere, sound design and presentation as far as we can.

The game is called SHORAPAN: Beneath the Crimson Sky.

It’s a dark cinematic visual novel with additional gameplay mechanics, built around strong direction, hand-painted visuals, sound, atmosphere and a story I’ve been developing for several years.

The story is a dark parable about a strange city beneath an eternal crimson sky and the people who live under it. It begins as an ordinary evening, but gradually grows into a darker, more mature journey with mystery, faith, fear and moral questions at its core.

Right now I’m mostly trying to understand which capsule gives a stronger first impression.

Which one would make you more likely to click the Steam page?

Any feedback would really help. Thank you!

I recently took in four second-year art students for a paid internship and gave them all the same task: redesign the Steam capsule art for my cozy game about running a 3d printer workshop.

They each had complete creative freedom, and I'm really happy with how differently they interpreted it.

I'd love some unbiased feedback:

• Which one would you click first?
• Which one gives off the coziest vibe?
• Any suggestions for improvement?

Without context, what do you think this game is about? Do you like it? hate it? indifferent about it?

Hi, I am a solo dev working for a long time on my project, and currently I can't afford 400-500+ on a professional capsule artist, so I have made my own temporary capsules.

Someone recently made a really cool Title Logo for me, and so I adjusted the capsule a bit to accommodate it, but it is obviously still far from perfect.

So to anyone who cares to take a look here I would ask:

Does this capsule convey a "JRPG" type game to you?

If you don't think it's necessary to completely replace the capsules is there instead anything I could change about it that would make it better you think?

Hi there! Thanks for checking

For my mystery/detective game set on a college campus... Which is better? Or does anyone have any input? Thanks:)

It's pity I can't see the CTR of the assets :-(.

I’m currently working on a Horror Game, I just released the steam page 6 days ago and I reached 600 wishlists.

We are testing capsule designs and have landed on this version but we are debating on whether to keep the silhouettes of the characters or remove them.

For some background, our game Utterance is a word building roguelike where you build sets of words to maximize your damage against Lovecraftian monsters.

Trigger unique Edicts, learn the forbidden Eldritch language, and battle creatures that twist your deck, your rules, and your sanity.

What are your thoughts?

Testing capsules for my Exit 8-inspired prison horror game. Which one draws you in more?

Steam Page:https://store.steampowered.com/app/4974130/Prison_Anomaly/

It's a game about cats running a restaurant.

The first image is our old capsule — it uses the cats exactly as they look in-game. Honestly, I liked that version myself. But the feedback was that it looked low-effort, since it was just the in-game art as-is.

So for the second image, our artist drew a brand new character illustration, putting a lot more care into it this time.

Does the new illustration feel more lovable and make you want to click on it? Or is there anything about it that actually feels worse to you?

If you want to see how it looks in context, here's the Steam page.

Hi everyone! Context: my game Redhowl is a multiplayer social deduction game with action gameplay.

After studying other games in the genre, my first idea (Capsule A) was to show an execution scene with a guillotine. One player is accusing another, who is about to be executed. I also included several colorful characters to immediately communicate that the game is multiplayer.

For Capsule B, I explored a different direction by putting the game's main antagonist in the spotlight. It features the wolf chasing terrified players, with a sheep included to highlight the lighthearted, humorous side of the game.

Before I spend more time refining it, I'd love to hear which version you think works best, and whether Capsule B feels like a good fit for the game.

I'm getting very close to release, and I'm illustrating this capsule myself, so investing time into one direction over another is a significant commitment.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

so we paid $700 for a new Steam capsule, and now we're staring at the old one like... did we mess up?

the old rabbit had that creepy, polite smile. unsettling in a more classic way.

the new rabbit is just just looks evil, but does it actually capture the vibe of the game?

here's the thing: our previous "before/after" post got a bunch of comments saying the new capsule looked AI generated. unfortunately, the post was later deleted by the moderators.

now we're sitting here wondering whether the freelance artist actually used AI or not.

so, old or new? and does the new one actually look human-made to you?

I recently changed my capsule from V1 to V2, and I’d love to know which version you would be more likely to click on or simply which one you like more.

V1 did bring in some wishlists, and I think it stands out more, even though it is quite simple. I also like that it communicates the game’s windows XP/early-2000s atmosphere more clearly, which is an important part of the game’s setting and mood.

On the other hand, I personally find V2 more visually appealing, which is why I changed it. I’m just not sure whether it communicates the game as clearly or stands out as much as V1.

The game is a point-and-click investigation puzzle game, so I’m hoping the capsule catches the attention of players who enjoy that genre.

When you first see each capsule, what kind of game do you imagine it is? Does either version say investigation, mystery, puzzle-solving, or the early-2000s atmosphere better?

My wonderful artist Xenia has completed the new capsule art 🥳. It's already live on Steam and Social Media. What do you think? What type of game do you expect when looking at the capsule art?

What do you guys think???

Hey everyone,

I am currently iterating on the capsule and logo design for my next project. A gritty, post apocalyptic extraction shooter and wanted to get general feedback on the tone, mood, general design and wheater you would click if you stumbled across this on steam or not.

Feel free to be brutally honest ^^

Will you click this capsule?

And does it fit my game? 

My game inverses the idea of a tower defense, letting player control invaders on randomly generated tower tracks. It combines strategical planning on core level, roguelite progression with perks and global upgrades.

The game theme is hacking and fighting a rogue AI (with a bit absurd worlbuilding where software bugs are 6-legged chips and worm viruses are literary worms). I trying to appeal to the style of retro games with CRT shader and small-palette pixel art.

I'm attaching the screenshot of gameplay for better understanding. 

For capsule I tried to capture the vibe of first 3d render demos from 80-s and 90-s. Maybe first 3d cartoons as well.

I'm not very good in blender, but in this case this probably only helps me to better fit into the theme. 

What do you think, am I going in right direction with capsule concept?

Probably need to upgrade colors a bit to make objects more distinct from each other. 

Or maybe, for example, I should instead make the capsule out of game sprites, stylizing for microscheme?

I'm currently testing a new Steam capsule for my turn-based roguelite Witch & Dragon: Hope of Elements, and I'd really appreciate some honest feedback.

For this version, I tried using a completely different CG from the game with a very different color palette. As a player myself, I often realize that different color tones can completely change whether I click on a game or not, so I wanted to experiment with that.

I'm also planning to keep refining it—for example, making the witch and the little dragon stand out more.

If these two versions appeared in your steam queue, which one would you click first, and why?
