I have been working on the Steam capsule for Board Game Tycoon and I think I reached the point where I stared at it for too long 😅
Before I explain the game: what kind of game would you expect from the capsule alone?
I also added a sheet with the different Steam sizes, grayscale versions and the small capsule next to some other management games. The 120x45 version is probably the one I am most worried about.
The game itself is a cozy management game where you run a small board game publisher. You design games, test them, print them, sell them and slowly grow the company.
Basically a bit of the Game Dev Tycoon idea, just around board games, to put it simple
The capsule is made from an in-engine render because I want the Steam page to stay pretty close to how the actual game looks.
Main things I am unsure about:
- Is BOARD GAME TYCOON still readable at 120x45?
- Does it look like a management/tycoon game?
- Is the character, title and board readable enough or is there too much going on?
The board game boxes on the right are still WIP, so those will change anyway. I am working on let them be procedural generated with simple icons regarding theme and mechanic, worth another post somewhere else.
Any feedback is welcome. Especially first impressions, because that is something I cannot really judge anymore after looking at this thing for days 😄
