I'm getting closer to launching the first iteration of my game soon and I'm absolutely losing my nerves. Suddenly, I got so many doubts regarding my artstyle which is very cartoonish and flash game-esque. Will it appeal to the gamers? Is it gonna be mocked or dismissed for being juvenile or lowskilled or inferior? I'm so anxious right now. I just wanted to vent.
Venting over.
Brother, I know how it can seem. Hours and hours of lonely work sometimes make us question if we're doing the right thing, if we're on the right path.
But what I took away from the time I spent developing my visual novel were the hours of satisfaction from creating something. I was able to disconnect a bit from reality, be creative, think of solutions, and develop them.
So, I believe that if you liked what you did, then this type of question shouldn't really be asked. I know you're looking for approval, of course, you want recognition for what you've done, but I think if you gave your best, that's what matters, bro.
I hope you succeed, and personally, I think your art style, at least if it's based on this, is cool. It's interesting. So, let's keep it up.
