Proposing color changes in card shadows while in hand. #158

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

In the mid term I want to propose a noticeable particles for shadow deck cards. In the meanwhile, I thought it could be better to have it in red, more obvious to the newcomer while not awful to the tenured (I... guess...). I don't know sh about colors, but this neat tool http://paletton.com/#uid=2000u0krPopiwvknks1uCk1CHeV was telling green is complementary, so I added it to replace the white shadow of playable card. Why not..? I'm not sure, but it's like the green glow for playable card has already been suggested.

I'm aware that green glow on playable card is something present in other CCGs with arguably not so dark thematic, ambience and storytelling, so if you feel this doesn't fit well with the lore, just discard or silently ignore.

I don't really care that much if the playable card glow is white, green or even absent. For the shadow deck card in the mid term I would be proposing a very dark clearly noticeable particles glow, more consistent with the current black shadow than with the proposed red shadow.

Still I would add this, maybe even just as being a community shaker.

Consider this change is not addressing opponent's hand separately. With this change, card highlighted by the opponent is getting green. I am happy to further iterate if anybody finds that required to deal with.

Actually, the treatment is being the same for shadow deck cards in opponent's hand. I am now discovering as I write that you can tell if a card in opponent's hand is from the standard deck or from one shadow deck judging the shadow the card gets when the opponent is hovering the card on her/his end client. Was that an unintended side effect? Was it on purpose? Is it desirable?

Cheers and regards,

It would be nice if it could fade to black and then back to red again very slowly.

... and I forgot to mention green highlight is affecting mulligan too.

@sapientN3T do you mean a permanent beating? While I keep investigating these sources, if it turns out that is a possible checkpoint towards my long term proposal, I would do.
