Open statecouncil opened 3 years ago

Quarsoon colors:

You know that little comic speech bubble that appears in vanilla RimWorld? If you don't have SpeakUp, that is. image When a pawn has a dream, he should get a little cloud bubble, containing a dream-quality-appropriate icon.

It can be done easily. I know how to implement that. 20 minutes of work but I need the graphics. We can even have each dream have its own graphic and if it doesn't then the tag will have a backup graphic. I'm not amazing at art but I would like to develop my art skills so I am willing to prepare some graphics to see how well that feature works.

Let's start with each category:

The card image - it is mildly NSFW ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/60186996/133796960-4510ea48-703a-4843-8df9-90bc28532375.png)

We could make references to Tarot cards in general. That gives me an idea to make a dream pack with Tarot cards haha. I know those cards very well and I own them, so it will be easy to create Rimworld style graphics based on them. Infernal could look like that but could be turned into Rim pawns:

Interesting. Let's discuss that. You make an issue?

Here's my ideas:

This makes good and bad dream qualities associated with each other, but still clearly differentiates between them. Only the two extreme qualities differ, as they are treated as special. Otherwise, the players knows whether it's a good or a bad dream by the big green or red number behind it, so there is no confusion anyway. I'll make some color mock-ups, if you like.

IwoRosiak commented 3 years ago

Let's put the colors next to a quality. We will put concept pictures here as well. We might be able to pull of animation as well :D

Note: you can color the word of each category maybe? Also I will give you the name of the green color I use for the logo.

statecouncil commented 3 years ago

Made a super quick and super dirty mockup. Please ignore the disastrously terrible aligning. mockup

IwoRosiak commented 3 years ago

Looks good! Gotta adjust some of the colours though imo

statecouncil commented 3 years ago

Which ones would you like to change?

IwoRosiak commented 3 years ago

That's the green I mean #0c6634.

Let's find the right colors and put them up on here.

IwoRosiak commented 3 years ago

Add your suggestions next to already written colors :D I'm really hesitant towards that idea in general. I think coloring the description is much better idea. As well as pictures (same as ideology).

statecouncil commented 3 years ago

Hmm. I'm actually more hesitant about the description, unless we control really closely which parts we want colored. I don't want the player to hover over the dream and get hit with a giant neon wall of text. If we do color the description, it should be certain, highlighted parts. I'll think about that.

statecouncil commented 3 years ago

I added my color proposals in brackets.

IwoRosiak commented 3 years ago

Yeah I want to color only some key words. That's my suggestion.

IwoRosiak commented 3 years ago

I would prefer to reserve green for mystic dreams or more related to magic etc

Also if we use it for negative dreams it will be creating contradiction to player thinking that it is a positive dream

statecouncil commented 3 years ago

Yeah I want to color only some key words. That's my suggestion.

Hmm, alright. That might actually look pretty cool, if used well. If we limit it to dreams of Amazing/Frightening quality and above, it should work alright, as those are nearly always more than a sentence.

Yeah, good point. I think I would prefer orange instead of yellow for Legendary dreams, though. Yellow seems like it should be reserved for "divine", "godly" content, if we come to that, and orange is the "typical" color for legendary items in games.

Discuss further on Monday?

Okay fine but you gotta find a really nice tint of green :D
