I was wondering if you friendly people could have a look at these screenshots and tell me if it intuitive or not.

It's actually a bit hard to tell when things look to other people the way they look to me.  I know what things are supposed to be, so my brain can't see it critically.


So, I decided to make some buildings you can go inside.

I was wondering what you guys thought of the look of the outside and inside of these buildings.


For starters, is it obvious which building you can go inside?

Here is the other store, which has a name on it.  Do you think it might look a bit too out of place with the other buildings?



This is the inside of the building from the first screenshot.

It isn't finished yet.  What I would like to know is, is it obvious where the back wall is and where the exit is?


This is inside the mediocre bomb store.  It is ment to look tacky, being "mediocre bombs" and all..

Same as before, is it obvious where the wall is?


Thanks for your help!  :)

I'm sorry for not seeing this, I was kind of in the middle of a gamejam (I still am a little bit busy on the post-jam). 

First on the outside: I think its not really necesary to put the arrows on the doors. To be honest I would still try to enter the doors without arrows anyway so maybe you can add a little text when you try to enter a closed building. It can be a good chance to add a dumb joke or something (I love dumb jokes). But yeah its pretty obvious what buildings you can go in, but i would still click on the other ones.

Inside: on the first screenshot its pretty obvious (much more than the second one). Maybe it is because of the shadow or the different color on the floor. But still I dont think anyone would have any problem with finding the way out on the second one either. I mean there is nowhere else to go, so going to the bottom part to exit will always be the norm in my opinion.

I hope that was helpfull!

Edit: I also don't have any problem with the bomb store being out of place. Especially if there will be more stores like that in other maps, I think its important to notice them right away.

Don't be sorry mate!  Thanks for taking the time to tell me your thoughts!  ;)

Link me to the game jam game when its up!

The game is already up on my profile, it's called "Gregory's epic adventure" if you want to check it out. But its not a huge game, its just a little gamejam experiment I did so I don't really mind if you don't feel like playing it. Thanks for asking man!
