Since we were talking about the spider-witch vampires a bit ago, what do you think about this?

Was going for a more fear boner thing. You're supposed to get a "these vampires are clearly the creepy ones, don't put your dick in crazy" feel.

Too much fear, not enough boner?

Probably don't need a NSFW tag for this, no bits showing.

When we're talking about spider witches, you can always take inspiration from Stoy-- I mean, the daughter of Ungoliant herself. :smug:

The problem is why would a 2000 pound spider that can jump 100 yards and smash reinforced concrete with its legs bother luring anyone?
Energy consumption required to sustain such action would be bigger than 2000 pound spider, that's why, silly.

Like previously stated, the spider bodies are just fancy illusions and not actually real (mostly).
Witches be witching.
See, now that is perfect. The spell worked on me to freak me the fuck out, which is as it should be. With that in mind I think the art has a great balance between sexy and weird. No action needed and she definitely doesn't need to be turned into more of a generic bimbo.

TBH, I think as long as she has human lower legs (and therefore looks like she's riding on a spider or having the spider come out of her ass, she's going to be more sexy than fear-inducing.

MFW when everyone claims to be drugging me but I have no drugs and am disappointingly sober.
There is only one explanation: tolerance.

Fun fact. One of my two weird super powers is that I have a relatively high tolerance for alcohol. I can reliably drink a fifth/750 ml of vodka and only get mildly/moderately intoxicated.

My choice of drink before it was discontinued was Bacardi 151, a 75.5% alcohol product that tastes and feels like what I imagine actual hydrochloric acid to be like.

It's a neat party trick (made some money doing drinking bets) but entirely useless and makes it really expensive for me to go out to bars. Unfortunately (?) does not apply to most drugs.

I would blame it on my slav genes, but I don't have enough of those to count.
MLMarkland, why can't you be a cool dev, like Tyranicon?

I think the woman is sexy as is - not everyone needs a microkini to be alluring.
I don't agree. Even if we agree that she does not need microkini to be alluiring, I would argue she would need some different clothes than she's currently wearing at the very least.

The problem is why would a 2000 pound spider that can jump 100 yards and smash reinforced concrete with its legs bother luring anyone?
For fun? We're talking about vampires here. Predators, is other words. A cat plays with a mouse, too.

Cool. I respect that opinion but we disagree. And to be clear Tyranicon, I want to be more positive than "doesn't need to be changed": the outfit is goofy to be sure but is actively hot imo.

PS Our revenue experienced a non trivial increase after posting on Codex

Interesting. Can I ask for which games?

I don't have analytics set up to check, so I don't know if my codex presence is beneficial or not. Probably on some level, as I know a few people here have contributed to my porn warchest.

But personally I prefer it this way. Codex is a place to shitpost and get into arguments, kind of like a RPG version of Fight Club. If it becomes attractive to marketing drones this place will nosedive real fast.

-looks pointedly at reddit-

I’ve always viewed this place as the anti-Reddit. I randomly post here. I was a member when I just played games in law school. I have pushed product here.

It’s refreshing. Reddit is a salt mine of sad people.

I’ll take angry and bitter over sad and compliant 365/365

PS Everything my name is on and everything the public generally understands has something to do with me experienced a rev boost when I started posting again (which honestly wasn’t the point I was bored long time member long time caller)

But it suggests that maybe a lot more people lurk here and avoid posting bc it is controversial but it’s more organic than Reddit, Twitter etc. is my guess

Whenever I see "Gangs of Moonfall" I always think about 20s and 30s.

By the way, I don't like the font. It doesn't look vampire-y whatsoever. The screen/logo doesn't show anything at all, in fact. I liked the previous screen better.

This one:
1e91e1138c2b94baaa9827247b254fb3bc46ec4c.png
It is not perfect (the letters have no blood stains and the lady has no visible fangs), but it is better.

I'm actually not sure what to feel either. The old logo was made by me, so naturally I just assumed it looked like ass. I thought a professional might do better, but dunno.

Unfortunately I think the new version might draw more eyes and more money :/

Here's a few more versions:

I'll support whatever you decide Tyranicon but honestly I agree that your original logo has much more character and interest. The pro one is so slick one barely sees it ... the eye slides right off. The only thing I would change about the previous version is to address the compositional balance of the whole image. The one with the new logo does "blend" better ... possibly because it simply fills the space more for better balance.

Whatever you do I suggest you make sure to have character art in any promo images. A cityscape and a text logo don't give me a game boner at all, and obviously not a porn boner. The 2D cartoons look better than the 3D render (pretty much always imo) but for promo I think the lush "painterly" art style has by far the most appeal. Of the three you just posted with new logo the painterly one is the hottest.

EDIT: You know what, the longer I look at the original one the better I like it. Maybe doesn't need to be changed at all.

I like all of them for different reasons, but maybe for the best of all three worlds you could use the 1st one and put in the skyline background from the other two, or maybe center the logo and girl from the 1st over the skyline background like in the 3rd one.
