Yep. You’re totally right. This is a typical case of going too fancy and over doing. I wanted to give more perspective and really push the style, but now I realize that the new waves are just too distracting.
It’s a bit painful to realize you went down the wrong path but it’s one of these things that are just hard to predict before actually doing them.
But I’m glad that you’re giving this feedback because it comforts the doubts I had. I would always encourage you to do so. It can only benefit to the game. It’s part of the process and I’ve learned things going through this. The good thing is that I keep a complete version of the source every day so it’s easy to revert.
There’s still things I can take from the new version that will benefit the old one, so it’s not all lost. I can even tell you that I can also improve on the clouds, so I plan to go back to this too.
It seems like not much progress for so much effort but these views are what the player will see a good 50% of the time, so it’s worth doing right.
Next devlog will be about having the courage to back pedal and hopefully the benefits of what I learned with a final (for real this time) persicope view! :)
Thank you very much for sharing your honest opinion.
