Title: New art style.
Post by: Sepkan on August 09, 2014, 04:20:19 PM
Can we get any preview about the new art style? I know for a lot of people when they think of the Prison architect style is Rimworld to them. And with localized body damage will the art style reflect this? I would like to know the communities thoughts about the art style.

I love the art style as it is! It's way easier to replicate than most games and makes the mods all the better for it

and it's still nice to look at =P

Not sure myself, i seem to remember Ty saying he wants to change the art so it doesn't look like a prison arc clone but it wasn't going to be a big change from it.

This is the final art style. I had wanted to change it last November, but after much work it turns out there's nothing that really works better than this for the design constraints placed on this game.

The only thing that changed in the Original art were the colonists themself.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the new door textures. They look like hatches in the ground you open up and jump down.

Well the thing that bugged me most was the metal but that has new textures now so that is great. I find that the art style suits the game superbly as it represents what it is trying to show perfectly, which is the main aim, and the other thing is it is quite easy to replicate the style - which is useful for modding.

Figured as much, I like the art style as is personally.
