I think the neck tie looks better overall, but I still prefer the bow tie because I have a much more positive association with them. I see people put bowtie collars on their cats and it’s always adorable. When I see neckties on an animal, I either think ‘cute animal that’s always getting down to business’ or ‘criminal’.
I completely agree with his view on this. The literal ‘shattered world’ is overdone and not usually the best way to convey a shattering mind.
To extend the topic in a slightly different direction: I am incredibly annoyed at pretty much all ‘floating islands’ in games where there is a chunk (or chunks) of land floating in front of a backdrop because the dev couldn’t be arsed to make the rest of the damn landscape. I call them “floating in space” games. There are tons of games at do this.
If your game has a good narrative reason for floating islands, or is a strategy or puzzle game that’s played on a board, that’s totally fine, but if there isn’t a good reason for the land to be lacking a completed landscape and is just floating there, I will skip over purchasing or playing those games.
I backed the PS version of a game three years ago and they released it for PC but not for PlayStation. They still claim the PS release is coming. I don’t believe them, so I pirated the PC version.
Crowdfunding is scammy. You aren’t actually buying anything and have few rights or consumer protections. Stay away.
