USER NEEDS
Pain Points:
- Thumbnail art fails to communicate game genre accurately (many users mistook it for a cozy/management game instead of action roguelite)
- Title 'Skyrest' implies relaxation, conflicting with action gameplay
- Logo readability issues (Y resembles r, making it read as 'SkrRest')
- Potential disconnect between title and game mechanics causing player confusion
Problems to Solve:
- How to visually convey action/roguelite elements in thumbnail
- How to align title with game's core mechanics
- How to improve logo legibility
- How to attract target audience without misleading players
Potential Solutions:
- Add combat elements (weapons, enemies) to thumbnail (suggested by u/detailcomplex14212, u/HuddyBuddyGreatness)
- Modify title to include action-oriented words like 'Battle' (e.g., 'Battle for Skyrest' suggested by u/chiBeeatrice)
- Redesign 'Y' in logo for better readability (acknowledged by author)
- Feature protagonist in thumbnail to indicate player perspective (suggested by u/JohnnyUmamiGames)
- Emphasize 'rest' concept with visual cues like torn banners/cloaks (suggested by u/AshenStrayer)
