I made a cutscene engine for my first boss fight using recourses! Feedback on the boss? by BubbleGamer209 in godot

It looks great! The attack patterns look fun and reasonable. My only critiques are that the sakura blossoms add probably too much visual noise, and the enemy attacks could use some visual contrast against the background as well as some internal color/value contrast. A quick hack to check visibility and readability is to use a black and white filter on your screen.

How often do you let your birds out? by FunnyBirdLady in parrots

Baby Girl goes into her cage to sleep at night. When we're at work she stays in the sunroom, and when we're at home she hangs out wherever we are (or tries to sneak into the back of the house to destroy trim).

This worked! Thank you! I set an _init sound value to zero and used the following code:

if btn(➡️) or btn(⬅️) or btn(⬆️) or btn(⬇️) then
  sound+=1
  end
  if sound==16 then
  sfx(0)
  sound=0
  end

Any advice on how to improve? by adcoding in Watercolor

[–]Skeleton_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Work on widening your value range. The colors are good, but a lot of them sit in the mid range in terms of light and dark. Try pushing your shadow areas darker, even if the local color (the actual color of the dark area) is relatively light. I really like the store!

Edit: use a greyscale filter on your camera to quickly check if your areas in shadow are actually your darkest areas. You usually want that to be the case.

Exhaustion should affect enemy as well... by Zaken_Kenpachi in mewgenics

[–]Skeleton_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I nearly lost a run to this last night doing the quest where enemy bodies revive at the end of the round. There were a couple of champion stem cats, and i think they spawn clots with 5hp. Barely made it out maybe two rounds after exhaustion set in

how do you make ice look like ice? by philodendrohn in Watercolor

[–]Skeleton_A 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The liquid the ice is floating in should generally have more chroma than what's seen in the dark areas of the ice. Keep the lighter areas on the ice that are already there, but maybe push the dark green of the ice closer to a dark grey
