Now that Artfight has ended, let's talk about the unselected themes! (All themes other than Seafoam VS Stardust in the second image)


Previously on Pinned Post: https://gamejolt.com/p/yep-you-guessed-the-theme-for-this-year-if-you-don-t-it-s-stardu-h9trcsej

For most of these themes, don't worry, they'll still be available for selection for 2025 team themes! Usually in the previous years except for 2023, the poll is going to be up after the announcement of the current Artfight's winner team. Although for 2024's theme poll starts in November 2023 with a completely different design layout. (Instead of the usual Google Forms "pick-one" option, last year you can sort out the teams based on your favourites to least favourites)

Now the thing is the two teams might be opposite to each other, but they always have one thing in common which is why I would call both of them together "themes" instead. If the teams are set aside and focusing on them being together,

Here's the general themes of each years, with winners/presumed winners bolded:

  • 2015, Color VS Monochrome (pre artfight net): Saturation

  • 2016, Magic VS Technology: Fiction Power (Fantasy VS Sci-Fi in a nutshell although focusing on their world's power resource)

  • 2017, Sun VS Moon: Celestial Bodies

  • 2018, Tea VS Coffee: Afternoon Break

  • 2019, Dream VS Nightmare: Sleeping

  • 2020, Sugar VS Spice: Food Taste

  • 2021, Steampunk VS Cyberpunk: Punk-suffix Aesthetics

  • 2022, Bloom VS Wither: Life Cycle/Nature

  • 2023, Vampires VS Werewolves: Supernatural/Horror

  • 2024, Seafoam VS Stardust: Presumably the Sea VS Space Debate

And here's the themes of the possible future teams:

  • Arctic VS Tropic: Climate

  • Clouds VS Caverns: idk

  • Comedy VS Tragedy: Theatre

  • Creation VS Destruction: The Universe (probably godly beings? Idk the first image is my attempt of interpreting it with my own lore)

  • Flora VS Fauna: Nature

  • Fossils VS Crystals: Rare Discovery

  • Heart VS Soul: Human's Spirit

  • Heroes VS Villains: Comics/Superhero Fiction

  • Knights VS Dragons: Medieval Era Fiction

  • Rain VS Shine: Weather

  • Spring VS Autumn: Seasons

  • Time VS Space: Albert Einstein /j

  • Trinkets VS Treasure: Valuable Items

So let's discuss about some stuff about the future themes:

What do you want the next year's theme to be? What theme is your top three (or two, probably just one) favourites, and what theme is your absolute dislikes/least favourite?

For the first and second question, I like the idea of Comedy VS Tragedy and Creation VS Destruction. Although I am stuck on which one should be the next year's theme lmao. I might pick Creation VS Destruction however, as it fits the basic lore of my main characters so far. The idea of Zilch being the top featured of the future ID card just really makes my mind really excited about it. Third question, probably those weather-related (Arctic/Tropic, Rain/Shine, Spring/Autumn). Sorry if you like these themes, I just find it really boring. :(

So... What do you think? Any other questions? Let me know in the comments section.

I've always had a soft spot for platformers, more specifically the ones that feel like a big adventure.

If only I could make them myself at some point...

If a very insane blue evil cookie with a huge scythe and a modern ass emo outfit is an interpretation of death itself

then an undead deranged villain man with a traumatic backstory as death won't be weirder
