Summary	0009050: Make damaging scenery (almost) always visible
Description	Issue: It's annoying for spikygrass / crates to only be discovered when you make them hurt you. With spikygrass (not the right name, sorry), it can feel like you have to constantly melee in front of you just to scout for hidden spikygrass, which can make for very slow progress, and is rather tedious and unfun in my opinion. Suggestion: Make spikygrass, crates, and all other "damaging scenery" objects always, or almost-always visible. Notes: These entities could be brought to the "true" foreground (everything else that may co-exist in the same place will be put behind them), though another option is to bring them to a semi-foreground - where they're in front of just about everything (and aren't hidden by tall grass) - except enemies, the player, and maybe a couple other things (gem veins?) will show up in front of them. It's a tradeoff between sometimes-concealed enemies (if these things are in front of them), and sometimes-concealed damaging scenery (if monsters are in front of them). An alternative solution would be to make these things somehow more eye-catching (brighter colors, glowing, etc).
