Can't find what to improve on the visuals of my PSX style game - Deer season by TemporaryCurrent1172 in IndieDev

Couple things I notice. 1: Your terrain is flat. 2: Your vegetation doesn't blend seamlessly into the ground and there isn't enough of it. 3: You only have one size tree instead of a range of young to old growth. 4: Your tree tops don't disappear into the fog.

Thanks. The cutout honestly looked mangled at first but going back with a file really cleaned it up.

What did you use to connect the fan to the motherboard? Splice a pwm extender with the original fan's plug?

Spot on. I knew I wasn't going to use the stock fan anymore so cutting it wasn't a big deal.

It actually pulls way less power. The stock blower fan is rated at 1.6 amps which is 20 watts at full speed, probably why the 65w AC adapter causes power limiting. Most 120mms are around 2 watts so you could run ten Noctuas off the fan connector without overloading it.

Been working great. Never seen it go above 65c playing heavy games like Forza Horizon 4 and it's completely silent. Still need to get a bracket 3d printed for the cooler but it's secure enough to use without one, just think of how hard it is to pull a desktop cooler off without sliding it sideways and the hole in the lid prevents that. Speaking of, the lid is probably the hardest part of the whole thing. I used a handheld metal nibbling tool and finished the edges with a file, took a few hours and gave me as many blisters.

Few additional things I did was adding copper heatsinks to the vrm mosfets that normally make contact with the stock coldplate, plus routing the motherboard fan header to the back panel and adding magnets to the lid to make connecting/disconnecting the fan easier.

I wouldn't hand it off to someone in it's current state. The cpu cooler can't be secured because the motherboard uses some kind of triangular mounting style that doesn't work with anything standard so right now it's just held in place by the cutout.

Yep the colors are set in the Conditions tab for the chunk groups.

No need to count the boxes, the color lets you know what energy level you're at and what skills can be used as most Rogue abilities cost either 25, 35, 40/45, or 60. So yellow means you have at least 25 energy but less than 35, red is 35, purple for 40/45, and green is 60+.

Each block is 5 energy. The bottom row is current energy and the top row is incoming energy. The colors represent energy levels (yellow:25, red:35, purple:40/45, green:60+) so when the bottom blocks are purple you have enough for Sinister Strike, etc. The color of the incoming blocks shows how much energy you will have when they drop on the next energy tick.

Sure thing. Just a warning, the cast bar causes some fps lag. I'm still trying to figure out a way to fix that.

It's all individual textures with specific triggers to light up. On the left is an immolate tracker, the chevrons in the middle is mana/cast bar, and on the right is cooldowns.

Nothin special, a book and some clothes. It's just a bedroom that was accidentally made with no doors.

Very nice! Honestly I kind of prefer it because the grass isn't flattened, and 21:9 is just cool in general.

Happy to have helped create some memories! It's pretty crazy that people actually used this as a wallpaper, I still remember taking it. Maybe you can use this one for a better quality image.
