I know it is very basic, but can anyone tell me what I can improve? And please do not say GFX.

I think the ocean lackd something. Maybe make a couple of boats, add a sunset, and stuff like that. Making your graphics level 21 would also be a lot of help

That’s not a thing, but okay.
Yeah, when I was posting this I did think it was a bit empty. I’ll reply with a better thumbnail

I don’t know what happened with the lighting, I’ll have a look into that, but is this better? @BlueBloxBlast

Change your studio settings and go to rendering to change it

In-game without the flag enabled it is indeed not a thing, but in-studio inside of the settings you’re able to actually change your graphics on a scale of 1 to 21.
Jading based on your most recent thumbnail, I’d say it looks nice so far. I like how the forest is dark while the sun radiates the dock and ocean. Maybe some sun rays could be useful to the lighting quality.

I would suggest positioning the camera to focus on the player looking out to the ocean.

yeah I see now
I don’t want to make it too glaring though, since it will haze out most of the gameplay
Do you mean a player standing on the dock or?

Yeah, I want the viewer to see the little avatar looking out to the vast sea.
Hm I don’t know about this, because I want players to see the full area and a bit of the ocean, I can change the caption if it is not fitting?
Some wind going by. Larger waves. Maybe a storm or big sea monster in the distance. Maybe some leaves falling from the tree.
Gfx
What do you mean by this? Wind particles?
Unless there is a way for me to scale waves as they go out further without a custom ocean system, then I can’t do this.
No thanks, the game is ment to be peaceful
Good idea, I’ll try that.
Well, he did say Gfx, and not GFX.

Not relevant.

There should be a focus point into this, like your character on a boat drifting away from land as a storm comes in and the ocean becomes more unsettling
for a peaceful game, just a focus point of the character drifting away from the island would be good

You should put the boats further out so its more of a background thing
Try adding a simple vignette, but try putting it behind the text layer, and also try a color filter that makes the colors a bit more vibrant
This already looks pretty good, but here’s a few suggestions:
- Enhance the photo (color grading, sharpness, saturation/vibrance, vignette, FOV alterations)
- Focus more on the subject, a large, detailed background can distract players from the main idea. Consider having less land and more ocean in the background
- Increase contrast between text and background for readability, even something as simple as a drop shadow on the text can go so far in quick readability.
Hope this helps!
A fine thumbnail but I think the FOV could be adjusted to focus more on the bridge and still some of the other decor. And also make the text bigger or just more readable and make the black see through box fill more
