For his unofficial implementation, dougz used public domain imagery rather than the official card art. When isotropic became Donald X.'s playtesting venue, the art used became that chosen by Donald for his prototypes. Perhaps due in part to its association with isotropic, the art is rather nostalgic for more seasoned players, and several have used the art as their avatar on the forums. | For his unofficial implementation, dougz used public domain imagery rather than the official card art.

+ | Many have wondered why Isotropic was not simply made the official online implementation of Dominion. As it happens, dougz was actually approached about working on an official version and he declined.<ref>[[dougz]], [http://www.reddit.com/r/dominion/comments/sf5y1/i_wrote_and_run_the_isotropic_dominion_server_ama/c4djxbx "dougz Reddit AMA"], Reddit</ref><ref>[[Donald X.]], [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=175.msg2283#msg2283 "All previous turns occasionally visible in Isotropic games"], [[Dominion Strategy Forum]]</ref> Isotropic in its current form would likely not have been satisfactory for [[RGG]] anyway, as [[Jay Tummelson|Jay]] wanted a version that would be fully functional on all platforms. This sentiment has only seemed to increase with the [[Goko#Failed_Release|failed release]] and criticism of [[Goko]]. Those unsatisfied with Goko regularly tried to come up with ways by which Isotropic might be kept online, including putting it behind a Goko paywall or charging directly to play on Isotropic.<ref>[http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=5890.0 "An offer to Donald X."], [[Dominion Strategy Forum]]</ref> | ||
