Make Eliatopia Look More Like a World.

Out of my time playing, often you'll see just tree's or flowers ending or even the void which really takes away from the gameplay.
So this is a suggestion thread to make things look less boring in the Eliatopian world.


First: This doesn't only apply to this specific area, but a lot of areas. But of course I can't find every single area so I'll more or less just find lifeless area's an compile them later. So here's my suggestion: Extend this block to cover it so it doesn't make it so obvious the world ends there.
Image



There's no way to leave the shop area once you try to go to it.
Image



I'm not actually sure you can do anything about getting rid of these white pixels
Image



Again, just boring with barely and trees or shrubs to be seen (area before mushroom maze)
Image




Overlay the arm OVER the body, not under it. (It just looks to weird otherwise)
Image

Now onto actual suggestions:

Homing Rain: Essentially just arrow homing + arrow rain WITH an 8% damage reduction. Controls obviously would be N + M.
Image
To add onto this, please up the current DPS of arrow rain. It is too slow to ever be used effectively against ANYTHING. Also make it so you can use it while running and jumping so it can have ya know, actual purpose?



So here in the area before entering mushroom place, add some mushroom ground tiles and trees to make it more obvious that you're going to be entering a new environment. This will make this area look a LOT better and just be neat. Also do this for the areas leading into the pvp zone.
Image



Yes I'm aware Robby has commented on why the arms aren't overlayed on the armor, but rather away from it (So you can see the full artwork) but this just looks to weird and if I'm being honest: Reminds me of the armor sprites that were breaking in Helmet Heroes. So like classic Eliatopia I suggest putting the arms back ONTO the actual armor.
Image


Again another thing I've suggested before but BRING BACK THE PICKUP ITEM ANIMATION! Adds just that little bit more of spice to the game
https://youtu.be/YP2rh_pl44s?t=176 (video clip of it happening, and while we're here might as well make all the limbs attached to the human to what they were in this build of the game rather than disconnected and just look weird without armor on)



Next up is display total kills of specific monster in Eliapedia
Image



And to finish it off with the "Make Eliatopia Look Better" is so that when you see the void, don't make it look bland and boring. At LEAST make the floor all 3 dimensions as pictured below to make it still look more than a boring flat piece of paper.
Image


EDIT 1:



Move the download banner down next to the controls, I often accidentally click it and keep downloading the dang launcher. Also it might scare new players that they just got a download as some dumb people might not realized they accidentally clicked a download button.

Thanks for the suggestions! Here are some things (and notes) for next patch.

1. Shroom Borough is still pretty lacking and incomplete, so that's why it looks that way. If you notice that on any other areas though, please let me know where.

2. I'll have gate issue fixed in next patch.

3. I've just noticed this as well. Have you been seeing this, or only in one of the recent updates?

4. I'll get some stuff added there for next patch.

5. I'll have arm moved towards the camera in next patch.

6. I'll add some hints of the mushroom area like you suggested for next patch.


As for the rest, I'll have the get back to them when I get some more time.

I've noticed this for a while I just wasnt quite sure if this was intended or something to do with unity

Ok, that is helpful at least. It would have something to do with the graphics rendering, I'm not exactly sure why though. I'll have to look into this in the future if I come to see more players are noticing it.

The pickup animation is especially needed since every time I'm on a drone even if I hear the sound I don't always know if I got the item, having an animation would probably express that better.
