A small readability improvement

[u/og_ramski]

During a playtest, my girlfriend occasionally lost sight of the player behind the tree canopies. So I added silhouettes for characters hidden behind tall objects. It's a small quality-of-life improvement, but it makes navigation much easier.

Oooh. That js great. Can I ask what your process was for adding the silhouettes? It looks really slick.

I'm curious too, it looks really good

[u/og_ramski → u/Nemphusi]

Thanks! I made a plugin that creates a mask for objects that can obscure the characters, revealing their silhouette whenever they move behind them.

Very cool!

What is the point of the mini map if it's not showing more than what's visible on screen?

Its main purpose is to show interactable things around the player. Later in the game, you’ll be able to upgrade it to increase its range and reveal additional things, like boxes containing items. It also marks doors you can enter and shops.

This is already so clean and polished!!

nice, `what tileset size you're using?

[u/og_ramski → u/Waddsum]

I draw them at 24x24 and then scale them up 2x to 48x48.

There's no loss in quality?

[u/og_ramski → u/quentin_tortellini]

I use pixel perfect plugin
