Image Content Analysis
- ===
- **Capsule Image Evaluation**
- 1. Art Quality (✔️)
- - The art is clean, cohesive, and visually consistent with a stylized, low-poly look. The colors are appealing and the image is polished, matching what players might expect from in-game visuals.
- - Tip: None needed here; the style looks intentional and effective.
- 2. Readability (⚠️)
- - The "WILD PLANET" title is modern and distinctive, but the spacing and geometric font may reduce legibility at smaller sizes (especially "PLANET"). The triangle/circle graphic partly obscures the bottom of the "W" and "A," potentially making it harder to read quickly in a small capsule.
- - Tip: Simplify or shrink the geometric overlay, and consider increasing the weight or spacing of the font for clarity at thumbnail sizes.
- 3. Focus / Visual Hierarchy (⚠️)
- - The character with the pickaxe grabs attention, but the geometric shape behind the title competes visually, splitting focus between the left (title) and right (character) rather than guiding the eye smoothly. The character’s neutral pose with the tool is clear, but there's some tension between the bold shapes and character art.
- - Tip: Make the title area slightly more understated or anchor the elements together—perhaps the character could be closer to/interacting with the title, or the background could help unify the space.
- 4. Hook / Genre Visibility (⚠️)
- - The pickaxe suggests survival, crafting, or sandbox gameplay, but it's relatively subdued, and the scene doesn't explicitly signal whether the game is about exploration, farming, building, or survival. There’s a lone figure, a tree, and neutral background—no obvious genre-defining iconography or action.
- - Tip: Add a small iconic element that more strongly signals genre (like a creature, more crafted structures, or resource icons), or show the character mid-action to convey gameplay loop.

- **Overall Summary**
- **Biggest strength:** Attractive, polished art with a consistent visual direction.
- **Most important improvement:** Strengthen title readability and make the genre hook unmistakable—consider showing clearer gameplay cues or actions, and declutter the title space so it's readable even at 120×45px.
- **Comparative Insight**
- Compare to *Forager* or *Astroneer* capsules: both use bold, high-contrast titles and instantly recognizeable genre cues (resource icons, gathering, building) in their tiny capsules. These games don’t crowd the space—the core mechanic or quirky hook is immediately visible, helping players instantly “get” what kind of game it is before clicking. A more confident, readable title and one extra genre-defining image element would put your capsule on par with top indies in this space.
