Hey Everyone!
So I've been getting DM's about the Thumbnail and many have been saying that it was created by using A.I (and I was even asked what Machine did I use LOL), so let's chat about it!
As you know S&Box has a ton of "AI Slop" thumbnails for many games on S&Box. Facepunch recently announced that they are working super hard to organize all of that, since the quality of the thumbnail is "lying" or "misleading" to what the game looks like.
For me, since I've been having a ton of fun with the project, and really want to keep working on this project for months, and even years, I commissioned an artist to help me create an awesome Thumbnail for S&Box Sweeper. In the video below, you can see the speed paint / timelapse of our thumbnail. This did cost personal funding of course, but it was aboslutely worth it. I have a ton of love for the Terry character models, and ugly as they are, they are incredibly silly when it comes to their Physics in-game, which is a huge positive for my game!
What's Next?
With that being said, the latest update in regards to AI Thumbnails, and general S&Box Updates, they also talked about changes to the Review System.
This is from the Update 26.05.13 News Blog and from Garry himself!
"First of all, you can now filter by the rating. The star rating is generated from a combination of thumbs up and down and the actual review ratings. My hope here is that it's intuitive for people to find games that other people have enjoyed, instead of having to fight their way through games that no-one loves."
What does this mean for S&Box Sweeper? Nothing, well on my side at least, but this means a lot for you! Reviews and Likes help a lot more now, and if you left a Thumbs Up on the game, please look into posting a review if you want to! This'll help S&Box Sweeper have more players, more filled up lobbies, and overall just more fun. The #1 Feedback and Complaint right now is there isn't enough players yet, but it will get there, with your help!
Now, you made it, to the end, I want to thank the players so far, and I look forward to more and more feedback, and...expect a Battle Arena or something for the Lobby, it's being designed at this moment.
