New cover art!


I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time. When I did the first cover for yuri jam, I was running out of time and pretty much just tried the simplest thing I could. Now that I’m revisiting my console’s game graphics I decided to re-do the cover in the new aspect ratio that the console case uses (5:6, 500x600).

Here’s what the new cover looks like:

The heroine of the game underwater, where her curly hair is drawn to give a feeling of ocean waves

Compare to the old cover with the old console’s dimensions (4:7):

Old cover was pretty much just a hand sticking out of the ocean

Of course, my console has… very different cover dimensions than itch.io does, unfortunately. Rather than redoing the cover for itch, I decided to just pad it a little bit, similar to the first cover. It looks a bit funky at the edges, but otherwise works alright-ish, I think.

Itch.io padded cover with some ink on the side to have at least a more interesting ‘letter-boxing’ effect than just putting black bars on the side

I still want to do a proper update for accessibility, so hopefully I’ll have time for that soon!
