Which artstyle should I use?

Greetings! I recently made an Artstyle that is just textures slapped on every single part. While this may cost some performance, I have an API that turns them off by default.

However, while working on this artstyle, MarioKart 8 DLC released, and I kind of liked it better than my style.

Which art style should I use and why?

Current Bloxy Kart 4 Style:

Im ok reworking my entire game to make sure it looks good, so be honest with the votes. There is no deadline as of right now.

  • Current Bloxy Kart 4 Style
  • Mariokart 8 Deluxe DLC Style

Also, if you can, please reply with why you chose the option you chose.

Thanks in advance!

I like both, you should use which ever you like better or the one that works the best with the rest of your game.

Well, I mean the second is much better because the first one isn’t really an art style, it’s kind of just a screenshot in studio.

The exact art style you use doesn’t matter, but for the sake of originality I wouldn’t try to replicate Mario Kart 8’s style.

I feel like the first design doesn’t quite show what your game is about, instead of recreating an already made scene consider taking inspiration from it with original ideas implemented into it.

Throwing in your own ideas to make it more unique and interesting to players view. The design of your actual game has to be featured within the art style, as that’s gonna give an idea to players about what your game is about. (The 2nd option attached below gives a more clearer point on what players expect to see “Information about the game” when being brought in).

Your first screenshot is just a picture of a wood texture. There’s nothing showing anything regarding artstyle. Show off some track decoration and design for us to get a better understanding of what you’re trying to accomplish here.
