I’m trying to start a cafe and I can make all the gfx, scripting, Building and all that but for the group Icon and thumbnail, I can’t find what backgrounds a lot of people use for some of their game thumbnails/group Icons if anyone has any idea please tell me because I have been looking for them for a while.

These are striped background circles, for the first one it’s called stripped background warped
Search them up on google and you’ll find them

Do you know any good photoshop substitutes for doing this type of thing?

hmm, i know some artists that are on a low budget that can do that…(im not friends with them but ive seen them) they use paint.net
Yeah I’ve got paint.net although I really don’t use it that much. although it’ll be good to try learn it.
yeah its a very good software, its simple and very advanced at the same time!!!
Ok thanks for the tip man I’ll be sure to try it out!
np! btw there is a free photoshop duplicate if ur used to photoshop this one photopea and i reccomend using gimp
Yea I’ve definitely heard of photopea before my friend showed me it but I couldn’t figure it out lol although I guess that what photoshop would be like so I’m gonna try to learn it. Another one I found was called pixlr and I have used it in the past although I don’t think its as complex or has as many features as photopea
if youre trying to to what the top image did heres a neat trick that can give you the desired effect easily!
(for paintdotnet)
step one: create a gradient with the colours you want.
Step two: go to effects>distort>dents and turn the tension, refraction and scale sliders up to 100.
here is the result!

Yeah I use that although I feel like its not very complex although I still like it.
You can easily make them using softwares such PS , paint.net etc.
There’s also one background Generator on Chrome , but demerit of it is you can’t make high end backgrounds with it , however here’s the link : - https://www.starburstgenerator.com/
They probably use a photo editing software like photoshop to do it. I don’t have much experience in making thumbnails like that.
