i'm pretty sure i've been commenting way too much but i got all the hats finally!! i'm so happy.
No such thing as too many comments, keep 'em coming :)
Also, congrats on collecting all the hats!
Speaking of hats, I just pushed an update with two more hat effects. I'm working toward giving every hat its own visual effect, but I could use a bit of input on the Baseball Cap, Visor, Halo, and Crystal Circlet. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them!
i saw the new update! i really love both the new effects, i think they look really cool.
anyways:
- the visor could just have some sort of tint over the screen, similar to fedora, with gaps on the side. because it's a visor, and it covers your vision.
- the halo could make the edges of the screen slightly glowy or white. or it could make your turtle glow slightly (without adding light, because that would be op, just making a white outline and blurring it or something like that.)
- the crystal circlet could ALSO make your turtle glow without adding light, like a crystal. like nix. or maybe nix could just have that effect herself... anyway, it could make your turtle glow. not many other ideas. i was thinking about having crystals on the edge of the screen, but that would obscure things. maybe crystals grow out of the ground when you walk sideways. that sounds too hard to make, though, so...
- and nothing for the baseball cap. i've used all my brainpower already.
and while i was in the mood for ideas, i had some suggestions:
- fern's effect is really cool, but i think the particles could be pink or white, like flower petals. or just make them flowers.
- the iron helm is a bit obscuring, but i know you can turn that off so i guess it's fine.
- EDIT: an achievement system!! i saw the note about the iron helm visual effect and it says something about achievements. it seems you're going to implement this already but it would be really cool to have an achievement system, and perhaps you get awards for getting them, such as quartz (or other resources).
that's it. wow this comment got long. i hope you like them :)
Thanks so much for all the ideas! I'll definitely play around with them and see which ones can be implemented.
The Iron Helm effect is actually intentional, since one of the upcoming achievements will be tied to reaching water while wearing it as a sort of challenge run.
Turtle lore is something I've wanted to do for a long time, but between all the new features and ongoing bug fixes, I just haven't had the time yet. I’m planning to expand it alongside future Lorestone content.
And honestly, hearing that you used Mistral and Caelo in a school project made my day. It's such an honor to know Serenitrove is making its way into your world like that. May the happy turtles bring you joy wherever you go :)
