Man, one thing we absolutely loved growing up were the Saturday morning cartoons. The pinnacle of non-educational entertainment if you were growing up in the mid eighties to late nineties was smashed right between 5am and noon every Saturday between multiple networks. And we're talking BEFORE Cartoon Network really took off. Cartoons like Duck Tales, which was one of my all time favorites when I was young by the way, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Tale Spin all hold that special nostalgic quality.
But its obvious where a lot of the inspiration for the aesthetic came from here; Thunder Cats, The Transformers, X-Men: The Animated Series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and G.I. Joe. Late Gen X, early Millennials, even some mid-millennials (is that a description?) have some favorite now vintage cartoon favorites that we hold close to our heart.
Which is going to suck when we have to replace this with bespoke artwork, but right now the procedural assets in beta testing is fine. It helps give context, and as one of our long term beta testers and discord members said
I mean, the mechanics, I'm not really concerned with so long as they're solid*. I love it when I can look at a card and my brain starts trying to create lore. Because the art just does something to ya
So there's something at least to the consistent visual tone of what we're going for.
