Mini Tank Mayhem · published
This is the commander speaking!
Welcome to the March devlog for Mini Tank Mayhem! This month, we're diving into a mix of nostalgia and progress as we showcase the latest updates on the game's promotional art.
Don’t forget to check out our videos and posts on Facebook, Instagram , and Twitter. Now let's get those tanks moving!
The Old Promotional Art
The original concept for Mini Tank Mayhem's promotional art started with a focus on highlighting both the tank and card elements, emphasizing the core mechanics of our tower defense deckbuilder. To add more context and depth, we added Aliens to give visual cue what players will be fighting against.
As mentioned in our previous devlog, this state of visual direction is still in early phase and we lean towards cartoony yet saturated color palette.
The Second Promotional Art
As time goes on, we've created another piece of promotional art with different approach. This time, we focused on brighter, more vibrant colors to make the visuals pop. However, we noticed that the background felt less dynamic compared to previous iterations.
Back to research department, we found that many successful visuals in the genre share distinct elements such as intense action effects, swarms of enemies overwhelming the main character, and towers fiercely battling the hordes.
The Final Promotional Art
The initial redesign is based on our first promotional art. After experimenting with different designs, we found that adding VFX, enemies, bolder colors made the art more visually striking. This new design can be an example for us as a guideline for how we approach the new promotional artwork.
The results are as follow. We created 2 instances of promotional artworks where the first art focused on multiple tanks, the second art is focused on single tank fighting the aliens.
