Would appreciate any and all advice. We're a young startup out of Rhode Island, just got out of an accelerator program and are launching to Rhode Island colleges.
Feedback, bug spots, feature suggests, criticism would all be great!
I'd especially like to hear from employers. The idea is that, as we grow, you'll be able to reach out across the country targeting specific colleges (best art schools, best engineering schools etc. etc.) or locations (certain cities).
In my opinion, if your algorithm is that solid and unique, that's your real selling point.
This whole "you can't control the player" is a bad idea, it doesn't drive the usual gamer and you're going to find that maybe it's exciting for people to watch their creature fight the first time but there's no repeat value in that (watching the same moves over and over and over again just isn't exciting).
The perfect blend of your idea and the wishes of the masses is to have your 'Cornelius' algorithm analyze the drawing then return a skill set. So it gives the player 6 movies + 10 combo moves based on their drawings attributes. You get a combination of the "my ninja vs. your ninja" as well as the ability to actually influence the outcome and promote replay value.
I feel like you need to better define the purpose of the website, I like the interface but I find myself thinking "why do I need this?" and your website does very little to convince me that this is going to make my life easier.
