Thoughts on Variants & Advertising
Brought this up in the Discord but I felt I should mention it here too.
I've been talking with another artist about the variant thing - he's got a point.
By focusing so much on high numbers - while they are true - I'm kinda being condescending to potential customers. And I never want to be that kind of person.
It's like those freemium games where they're like 'click this link and get 20,000 currency'. BIG NUMBERS, BIG VALUE RIGHT?
I think the better, more respectful option is to simply list the number of variables, the options you have in each pack. The number being a few dozen to over a hundred isn't as glamorous as the total number of combinations, but it does seem more grounded and less like I'm focusing on 'look at the shiny keys'.
I think this'll be a new approach for 2021 and onwards.
