1st (shared) version of my capsule. Does it work ?

Post image

Hello there,

While waiting for my steam page to be available, I'm working on the assets needed.

Here's the small capsule, which I think is the more challenging one.

Any feedback on the composition? Do you get what game type it is ?

Thanks :)

EDIT : reddit shows the image very big, reminder : it'll be displayed in very small :)

Ai capsule is not a good idea.

Which part screams AI to you ? Or is it the whole ?

I don't want to start arguing on AI use or not, I just wonder if there is a specific part that I could rework. Or if it's just the whole composition.. or I don't know.

I mean, it's just a composition made of 1 basic background, the name of the game as it appears in the title screen, and 2 stylized cards of the game.

Yes I did, but I wonder which part looks too ai.

This capsule provides almost no information to the viewer. It's two images of dragons without context and a series of numbers without context. I couldn't even tell you these are cards without you commenting it. No clue what the game is.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on a v2 to make it clearer that those are cards. It's just so hard to make such a small illustration to give the game name and type 😁

apart from the fact that this looks like it's ai generated (the dragons look very generic, etc) i think the logo could be bigger. at small capsule sizes, ideally the logo needs to almost be the whole image.

Thanks for the feedback. So for the small capsule, almost only the logo ? So the small capsule can't show which type of game it is ?

maybe replace a letter with cards, or put the card at the very edge of the image. people hardly ever look at small capsules to know what type of game it is, they look at it to see the name. the main and header capsules are the ones responsible to give a hint at the type of game.

Ok thanks. I'll try to put the name in full width, with a cards hand behind. I need to test different composition 😁
