Taking a look at https://godotengine.org/features/ I was momentarily confused at the "these developers have chosen Godot for their projects" text, when all I could see was one image. It happened to be the one for "Usagi Shima - pank0" and possibly because I am colour blind, the left and right arrows didn't stand out for me on that image, and indeed the "Usagi Shima - pank0" text didn't stand out for me. If I refreshed the page, I noticed the image changed, which was nice, but I thought that was an odd way to see different example games. It was only after refreshing a couple of times that I noticed the arrows, and the game developer and name text!

Image

Anyway, this is a long-winded way of saying I have a couple of suggestions:

  1. Can you add contrasting backgrounds (e.g. circles) behind the arrows, to make them stand out more against the game images? Maybe also a rollover effect.
  2. Similarly, can you increase the contrast of the box around the game developer - game name text? The text "pank0" is particularly hard for me to see in the above pic.
  3. Can the images automatically move to the next one after a few seconds (maybe with a pause button at the bottom for people who want to look at a particular image for longer, or who are sensitive to movement), in case there are still people who don't realise this is a carousel?

Thanks!
