| Summary | 0005009: Some backgrounds too (aesthetically) busy for platforms & ladders | ||||
| Description | Now, I don't know if this is just because I'm a little colour blind or something but... I find a fair few of the backgrounds in the game just too intensive on the peepers to be able to clearly (or almost at all) make out stuff in front of them, ESPECIALLY platforms and ladders. In the attached screenshot (which is in a commodity tower in a desert region) I find it quite an eye strain to be able to even see the ladder platforms at all. And the craftables are only slightly better. Caves are similar. I find myself relying massively on the minimap to see ladders, because spotting them in the game itself actually hurts a little bit there. If it were up to me I'd suggest a general "toning down" of most of the backgrounds - desaturation or an increased contrast level or something - to make them far less prominent. A lot of the time my eye is drawn inexorably to the background rather than what's going on in front of it... Don't get me wrong - they look nice, for sure. But they're just too busy all round for my eyes, which is a shame. | ||||

I would suggest a bolder border around the ladders, as I don't have any colour blind issues and I rarely see them in most cases. Maybe bring up the saturation on the ladders a bit to so they stand out. It would make heated boss battles easier since I wouldn't have to take my eye off the action to see a ladder (I have to check out the minimap like Zebramatt more often then not). |
