Forge of Neon - 3D Sandbox Art Review

Hi all,

Full disclosure, I already wrote a draft for this post which I completely tossed away but it was useful to make the video review that you can find here. I am in new territory, trying to become a critique of the complex ecosystem of mobile apps. You can download Forge of Neon for fee on the app store or the Google Play Store.

Let’s start with the pros!

• It’s really fun
• You can use it for special effects in your videos or with music
• It is intuitive and easy to use
• It is hypnotic
• it records the speed of you pencil stroke which affects the pulsating displays
• There are many types of designs determined by a number of presets
• The rotating camera influences your design
• It calls on the aesthetics of symmetry which is universal and somewhat fractal
• The only paying feature is to remove the adds so they are generous with their export feature

The Cons

• There is no help button
• there are 2 menues and they are confusing
• You should be able to tap outside the menue to get back into the app
• The colors glow to much and there should be a gradient options
• There are constant adds
• The brushes are cheesy and you mostly can’t tell them apart
• It may give you a headache if you play too long

The lesson of the day is to keep it simple and easily digestible. What I wrote before proved useful but it is important to keep your followers in mind regarding how they will appreciate your efforts the most.

It is a fine line between self-critical and second guessing, if blogging was easy, everyone would do it!
