Balance between appealing graphics and easy asset creation

Marko Rintamäki · 2017-12-29T16:47:35

I'm creating an online HTML5 game editor / gaming platform. http://openeditplay.com/ I want to make it possible to create games by drag n' dropping and changing some parameters. Currently the game editor supports convex shapes and particles as visuals. It's not quite enough to make appealing games. Could you help me find the visual style that could be generated by code and is appealing, but is not too hard to configure from parameters? Ideas, example games, images, ...anything is appreciated. Creating game visuals should be as easy as it gets for the user. However, following conditions must be met: - There should be some depth in what kind of moods can be created. All games must not look the same. - Results should be so appealing that the editor (or gaming platform) will attract users. Examples: - It would be cool to create something a bit complex than this: - Too complex to generated by code: Also, if you would need to build a character and world using only lines, simple shapes, gradients, glow and shadow, would it be fun? Thank you so much.
