Design a palette for sprites to use. #10311

Closed PJB3005 closed 5 years ago

PJB3005 commented 8 years ago

SS13 has horribly inconsistent art. IMO it would look much much better if sprites were restricted to a strict palette. Even if not all sprites were refactored immediately it'd be a step in the right direction.

In fact I believe the engine sprite for the shuttles are still the same art from when SS13 was first leaked.

You're right, the game has never undergone enough slow sprite changes to be noticeable. oldstation Never.

You realize we still use sprites from those days. That ID sprite is almost identical to the one we use right now. Also that gift wrap sprite

That's because there is no reason to re-do the ID sprites, while there is reason to re-do those windows

The thing is, there is no reason to resprite windows NOW Nobody will resprite most sprites that look decent in the current year

We still have some sprites, but the general game has changed completely. There's no reason to suggest that just because we might carry over some old sprites, we won't ever see the benefits of a consistent palette.

This discussion has been dead for 2 and a half years. Just close it and open a new one if the topic becomes relevant again. Overall the opinion of our spriters on Discord seems to lean massively toward 👎
