For general discussion about the game that doesn't really delve into Mechanics (see the "Mechanics Discussion" section). In Out-of-Character discussion, you are expected to be courteous to others.

I made a thing (with significant help from text-to-image AI) but here is one (album with 3 more with the same layout can be found here, apparently we can't have more than one image in a post).

These are a bit gruesom, but I like the first one.

I'd only change the intrusive NC logo on the bottom into some kind of overlay, that'd have a transparent background, and maybe change the font a bit? But I think the direction is solid.

The generator gave me a bunch of Dark Souls/LoTR-esque art, yeah. The game doesn't really have a graphical style though, maybe a more picturesque or watercolor type thing would be better. I'll see if I can poke the thing for something like that.

By the same token, aside from the icon shown in the browser tab, I couldn't find a logo or anything, I'll see if I can stylize the banner to be less intrusive.

Also, what about the font? Of the text I wrote? Any preference? I tried a serif font but it ended up being pretty blurry with the border, hence a sans-serif one, I think it's called "Deja Vu".

I mean in general the font is fine, it's just a little blurry, that's why I didn't like it too specifically.

For the game's logo, and if we can't find a vector art of the existing logo, we can just add the name of the game in bigger font - I mean like you said the game doesn't really have an art style, does it ?:P

Link to v2 album. Just the first one with a different font, and smaller (or no) logo.

"Shortened banner" logo version:

Hey guys been preoccupied and distracted but thanks for the submission. I might extend the time since everybody has been so distracted with all the going ons lately. I know one person wants to submit some art that hasn't yet to

One more (well, two more in an album, one with and one without logo). This one leans more into the angels vs demons thing, but I couldn't come up with a catchy phrase for the unaligneds too. Would've become pretty crowded anyway.

By the by, I have pretty high-res images of all of the backgrounds so far, I just figured I'd start with the smallest ones since expanding them is a lot easier than trying to compress a badass banner into a stamp-sized thing. If any of these win I'll make a set with the other resolutions in em too.

If we are looking to spread the word about nexus clash, someone should figure out how to make DuckDuckGo search actually link to the website. It’s been broken for awhile.

Example:
