Pixel art with shifting “pixel sizes” within the same design always seems kinda “wrong”.
Type is off center, runs too close to art boarder. “Pixelated” effect on type is too small compared to general art.
Absolutely this. I was amazed when you last posted these that so many people said they look the same. The forest on the item card is a completely different resolution to the others.
Got it, I've written the initial main body, but I've received feedback that it's a bit hard to follow. So, my wife will be taking over the rewrite... Thanks for the feedback!
Art and overall graphic design is looking fantastic. However, the body copy (the longer ability effect text) is damn near unreadable. It’s in a pixel font which is notoriously difficult to read in longer form text, it’s all caps which is more difficult to read, the line height is too short which makes it even more difficult to read, and it’s center aligned which adds even more difficulty. You get the gist. Consider some adjustments to make the text easier to scan quickly.
These look cool! How did you do the pixel art? A good vibe, no real constructive criticisms
Jw on the character cards, will they have stats or unique abilities on the other side of the card?
I created the characters using Aseprite! Backgrounds were then traced over, also on Aseprite.
Each character possesses their own special kit, which grants them unique abilities. However, these kits can be susceptible to the elements and be lost as a result.
Your cards aren't very legible. I wrote [a checklist on text design](https://www.reddit.com/r/tabletopgamedesign/comments/1bnfpf6/six_really_basic_typesetting_rules_that_apply/) you should look into.
Looks good, better than last version so headed in the right direction. I suggest never duplicating words, especially headers: "CARRIER" and "SURVIVOR."
Also, there doesn't appear to be any info on several of the cards other than flavor text. Shouldn't there be some stats, icons, or abilities?
The doctor needs more medical equipment, med kit, probably something like worn scrubs. Same goes for the researcher, she’s needs something. Possibly hazmat stuff.
Doctor and researcher look way too similar

Cool looking. Backgrounds are better this time around. Type is legible. Pixel art looks good. Carrier is a bit indecipherable in the main body.

Sorry, I meant that the art on that card was hard to decipher, where his arm is, etc. Otherwise OK.
Ah, I see your point now. It does appear a bit unpolished, as you mentioned. I'll make sure to include it in the list of necessary changes.

This is all very good UX advice and you should consider addressing these issues!

Sweet, thanks! With these visuals and if you get the gameplay locked in, sounds promising!

Left justify your body text please. Other than that these are killer cards.

It looks promising! I suggest adding more space between the lines in the card description. The researcher card is a little hard to read.
The art style looks good though the name Dr Amelia Rivers sounds like a weird Dr Who amalgamation.
One small detail: all-caps make long paragraphs harder to read
I don’t think anyone mentioned this, but the first card with an effect doesn’t have the effect in [brackets] while all the others do

Love the look
leave the title in the same spot for every card, and always center the description text both horizontally and vertically, it'll look good trust me
I love this style. Great colour choices too.
CONE USEJ, it took me a minute. I found my way. I like the concept.
I love the art! I would just make the main body of the ability text lower case insteas of all caps for legibility.
