Biggest Learning: Show off your game and better to hear harsh feedback than living in your delusions, because you get blind to your own work. Since these changes wishlists grew from 600 to 800 now.

So thank you for the people who took their time to response and also big thank you to u/Miyorio for the rework of the sprites. Without this GOAT I wouldn't be able to see how much more you can improve the art, so now my retro pixelart "SNES" Game actually looks way more like a SNES 16-bit game.

I'm also always trying to do little short videos on X, YT, TikTok, Instagram - still no crazy numbers, but I feel like impressions went up a little bit as well with the new art style.

I would also like to ask if there is something else I could improve on my steam page before the Steam Next Fest.

I removed the old trailers, added a new one with the updated graphics with more uplifting music, straight into gameplay.

I reduced the GIFs in the description to 3 with a little bit better description. And I also added translations for the screenshots, GIFS & Trialer + new languages in the tags, because at the moment my steam analytics are saying that gamers are also from Hongkong, Japan and some other non-speaking English countries, so hopefully it also translates into more wishlists, when everything is translated. Not only the plain text.

Unfortunately I can't attach images here, so I can't give you the comparison.

How much difference 8-bit and 16-bit can be (6 months into learning pixel art)

I reworked my games visuals completely for web

After your feedback, I changed the art style completely - an incremental retro pixel art game, where you rebuild your fantasy kingdom

I fixed my Steam Page for Steam Next Fest after your critique and it was necessary
