I really love how versatile and fast vector graphics are, but it's so annoying being compared to mobile games all the time 😢😠

I released 1 game, canceled 1 game, and am developing 1 Steam game, all made with Illustrator. At least with the raccoon one, players don't seem to mind it that much, but the comparison still stings...

Any of you had this problem before? And if so, how did you resolve it?

So far, the only thing that helped me were better illumination/color grading in the game itself + some brush/noise textures.

I feel like the Avatar, lol. Mastered all adobe essential software on top of game development 🤣, but kept my graphics mostly in vector style.

Howdy.

I have an asset pack inspired by my favorite CCG, Hearthstone. The background image was made for demonstration purposes, but everything else you see is included one way or another.

• CC0 - no attribution, no royalties, use commercially
• Editable PSDs - reskin in free Photopea
• Full UI pack included
• Holographic foil effect plugin for Construct 3
• Vector art - scales to any resolution

Here's the link for more info - https://dumivid.itch.io/mechanized-magic-2d-vector-fantasy-robot-cards-pack

Take care, and stay 🐾sitive

P.S. - even if you don't think you could use such a pack yet, what will you miss the most? I am looking for feedback for the next update, but barely find folks to share their opinion 🥹

Howdy. I know it's not a game per se, but I think some developers might want to try it out.

I have an asset pack inspired by my favorite CCG, Hearthstone. Some time ago, I created it for a personal project, and well, the game got canceled 🫠. But I think you could put these assets to better use.

Also, I know it's hard sometimes to imagine how it could get together, so I made this mockup to have a feel for how I envision this bundle.

Stats:

• 14,695 views
• 2,653 downloads
• 60 total payments
• $301.75 earned from assets I made for a game I canceled
• My UI asset pack and C3 plugin are getting almost all their traffic through the card pack embed link
• All of this is organic with 0 external marketing
• Fun fact - my card asset pack was meant for a game that was eventually canceled 🫠

Maybe for some of you, this will be discouraging. After all, I have had my itch account for 8 years, and my card asset for 3 years, and barely made 500$.

Maybe for others it will be inspirational. After all, all social media platforms reward exceptional performance, and it so happened that out of all my assets, this card pack was the most useful. So I guess make epic shit 🤷

If you guys want more statistics or have some cool feedback to share, I will gladly engage in the comments or even make a full-blown blog about it if enough people want my personal perspective.

I hope it was not a mistake tho, lol.

I made it for my game and decided to bundle it with one of my more successful asset packs. I kept it completely free, but left an option to donate.

If this is not by mistake, I am very grateful for them. If you see this, guys, sending you rays of love 💖
