ADAPT TO THE AFTERMATH
Enter a massive new world of cutthroat card competition set in the aftermath of Pandemonium, an asteroid shower that destroyed most of Earth’s civilization. Now the survivors must adapt and band together to rebuild the world…if they don’t destroy each other first.

CHOOSE YOUR FACTION
Pick your side and pick a fight. There is much discord between the wily Ferals, the rampant Beasts, the savage Bandits and the poisonous Plants. Discover even more factions as they continue to emerge from the shadows of chaos.

COLLECT YOUR DECK
Choose from Champion, Character, Equipment and Power cards to deal the competition a killer combo. Collect rare cards and stack your deck with masterful strategy to reap the spoils of war and move up the leaderboard. The card varieties make every game unique and completely unpredictable…and there are more to come. So play your cards right and take back your world.

DEAL THEM DEFEAT
How will your deck stack up against the competition? Go head to head in live matches to prove just how good you are. If you get defeated by a card you’ve never seen, find it for yourself to get the upper hand next time.

The Evolution of our Icon

News

Finding the right icon for your game can be quite difficult. Our game is filled with a large amount of illustrations, so picking just the “right” one was a hard decision for the team. We wanted to make sure to show our very best side in keeping with the dystopian theme of our game. And of course, we want our audience to be drawn in enough to download and play!

Our first icon featured Longtooth, one of our most prominently featured champions, whom you can use right from the start of the game. The background color didn't quite portray the right mood for our game, so we ended up adjusting it to a darker, more somber-toned gradient.


Original icon


Shortly after that, we came to the conclusion that we should try out a variety of characters from Days of Discord.

Each of the main champions has their own theme, but we thought that Cameron might appear too dark or that his weapon might mislead players into thinking our game is a shooter.

Crackjaw, Grimalkin, and Masked Chapo could potentially give a more light-hearted Fantasy/RPG vibe, but perhaps too light-hearted for us. We tried to cover different bases for this test. More action shots of the characters, or dark and light variants were tested out.


Alternative icon options


In the end, we created multiple versions and watched the click and download
stats over the course of a week versus the original Days icon for comparison.


Icon alternatives used for testing


To our surprise, the dark-themed Cameron alternative has been the most popular!

Once we settled on Cameron, we tweaked the image a little, brightening up his skin to showcase more grit and details. We also adjusted his pose to create an even more dynamic action shot.


Final version

We hope to share more of our progress and notes as Days of Discord grows, so please look forward to that and let us know what you think about our new icon!
