Creating Proper Store Screenshots

Erich_L

I am working on created informative screenshots for my game Dwarven Mint. I am hoping you can tell me if the screenshots are enough to give you an idea of what the game is and isn't. I know this will be a super important thing to get perfect, so please hit me with any concerns/suggestions.

Erich_L I am hoping you can tell me if the screenshots are enough to give you an idea of what the game is and isn't.

I'm not sure what the game is. I'd prefer a video demo, or a slide show, with captions if needed.

For the last part you can really emphasize no" BS" things with a picture to the side or a change in font
(the ads could be in your face bold random bright colors , microtransactions by being hidden by a pay wall , and no pay the win by some joke that you can get the game with everything already beaten)

Thanks for looking at it- any questions/suggestions much appreciated.

Gowydot Ah thanks. Here's my plan: I'll replace the words "Raise a child, inherit their world" with "Incrementally build a fortune" which gives a stronger hint that this is an incremental game in which you prestige to start some parts of the game over but with more resources. I agree "raise a child..." is not strong enough of a hint.

Also, at the bottom of the first image I'll change it from
"Solve 50+ Physics-Based Puzzle Factories"
to
"Solve puzzles then optimize your mint!"

DaveTheCoder I agree I like videos too but I still have to prepare good explanatory screenshots.

I understand the gameplay from the components screenshot but not sure how does it relate to the settling down and raising a child.

I'd assume that those characters are to show the visual progress of the game, like when you earn more your family are healthy and growing..etc.

I am finally working on a teaser now that apple and android have both approved the game.

Erich_L Though I have a feeling this is missing something... or a few things.

@warnup2000 That's a good point- it's hard to convince people online tho.

I am hitting publish tonight- time to start doing that social media build up I should have been doing for months:
