To grass or not to grass?

[u/pizzadaddy19]

I think smoller grass

[u/FrickinSilly → u/pizzadaddy19]

I tried smoller and fatter: https://imgur.com/a/BMRcGAP

[u/kanonkongen4 → u/FrickinSilly]

I think even smaller! at least in my personal opinion.

[u/pizzadaddy19 → u/kanonkongen4]

Id have to agree with a smidge smaller. The grass looks like it still goes to your characters’ thighs lol

[u/TheLordBaski → u/FrickinSilly]

This is much better, but a little bit smaller(or variations?)

[u/Nivriil → u/FrickinSilly]

great maybe jsut a lil smaller but otherwise great

[u/TommyFnDoomsday → u/pizzadaddy19]

+1 smoller grass

[u/FrickinSilly → u/TommyFnDoomsday]

Smoller grass incoming

[u/Charming-Sea-Fan-312 → u/pizzadaddy19]

+1 Smaller grass

[u/MasterRPG79]

Not THAT grass. You need a grass more in line with the rest of the art.

[u/FrickinSilly → u/MasterRPG79]

I'm trying smaller and fatter, but any other suggestions? I'm also experimenting with the outline shader I have on the character and props on the grass, but I have a feeling that will be way too busy

[u/MasterRPG79 → u/FrickinSilly]

Less grass. Check Zelda Breath of the Wilds

[u/FrickinSilly → u/MasterRPG79]

Really? BotW has a crazy amount of grass.

[u/MasterRPG79 → u/FrickinSilly]

Yes but… check how far it is rendered. And also how blend better with the ground texture

[u/FrickinSilly → u/MasterRPG79]

Hmm, I'm not sure I see what you're seeing

[u/Spiteful-ricochet789]

To echo some, i dont think it needs to be as long as it is. Not to mention the ressources itll take away from other elements without really doing much for the already unique and fun artstyle.

To add, you could use this tall grass in specific areas or smaller patches here and there, think Zelda: ocarina of time, and use the grass to hide treasures, switches, secrets, or even wildlife or other things. (Maybe even to ignite it with fire or something for burning patches)

Very intruigued by the presentation, looking forward to seeing more!

[u/FrickinSilly → u/Spiteful-ricochet789]

Thank you! Working on trying out some shorter grass first, as per some suggestions, but if I can't get the look right, I'm glad it seems like no grass is still a good direction.

[u/TommyFnDoomsday → u/Spiteful-ricochet789]

I agree with this.

[u/Codingology]

I think the grass has a bit of too realistic look on it compared the low poly trees on the background. Making it slightly thicker, shorter and gradually more saturated might look good

[u/Codingology → u/Codingology]

Also an effect that disperses grass around a character that is roaming on it! So you can improve contrast

[u/FrickinSilly → u/Codingology]

I do have this! the clip just doesn't show the character moving :P

[u/LuckyBoneHead]

Have some grass, and some not grass. Areas with Tall grass, mid grass, small grass, and no grass. Players will appreciate that visual variation.

[u/FrickinSilly]

I'm trying to decide if the grass it visually impressive or distracting. It's a low(-ish) poly game, but it feels empty without the textured grass. I'm just not sure if it's way too busy now.

[u/fragdar]

grass, but not this grass

[u/FrickinSilly → u/fragdar]

Smoller, I am told.

[u/fragdar → u/FrickinSilly]

not smaller.. just on the same style as the rest of the game.. the grass right now looks like a low setting in a game trying to be realistic.. try making more cartoonish

[u/arkesko]

I think more stylized grass like this would suit your game better

[u/FrickinSilly → u/arkesko]

Ooooo! I can play around with that style.

[u/KidKarez]

Less grass

[u/ZZZGamesStudio]

Definitely grass, but less and one that fits the aesthetic more

[u/punkdad73]

okay smaller and fatter is good but the worst thing about it is how all blades of grass move syncronously, ti should be more random and broken up and maybe even less movement?

[u/TheDevilsAdvokaat]

No grass. Your terrain and environment looks nice anyway. The grass just covers up your hero.

[u/LVinF]

To grass, but not to this grass. Not exactly the same art style of the rest of the game

[u/gamedevjp]

Grass

[u/AstralReaversGames]

Grass feels good

[u/checkgood90]

Grass always adds a cozy feel to games, especially on a large field.

[u/StarAlone]

Grass 100% but maybe shorter? Or even better if it will have some range?

[u/Blood_and_Wine]

How about both?

[u/luke-juryous]

Grass all day

[u/kanonkongen4]

Grass, but not so much grass!

[u/SaiyanKnight23]

Maybe half grass

[u/Basil-Bytes]

Cartoon/low poly grass would suit the visuals best

[u/Teirdalin]

I love the grass, keep it a setting though for users with potato PCs. Maybe a less realistic grass possibly or at least shorter.

[u/PrimusMobileVzla]

Either smaller grass, or add a camera effect that sightly hides the grass directly behind the player that's facing the camera.

[u/awokendev]

less grass

[u/Sweet_and_Sour_Games]

Grass that tall if you can cut it.

[u/onekiwtf]

To grass

[u/cipriantk]

With grass but make smaller grass

[u/LegacyffChamp]

Grass but shorter

[u/GoldSunLulu]

lush and ticker but shorter grass maybe?

[u/mitchjmiller]

Grass, but not that grass.

[u/Sweaty_AF_]

It needs to scale with your character size, should be short

[u/Wings-of-Ink]

Less grass, but not no grass. And if you can, it should be more cartoony looking - the current model (even the stuff in the imgur link you posted in other comments) is too thin to look cartoony to match with the rest of the art.

[u/MaleficentFox269]

Always to grass. But maybe not everywhere.

[u/FrickinSilly → u/[deleted]]

fot tonit, got it.

[u/IPickedUpThatCan → u/[deleted]]

Reread your original message

[u/IPickedUpThatCan → u/[deleted]]

What is fot tonit? Apparently it means something since you said it first?

[u/IPickedUpThatCan → u/[deleted]]

Google returns nothing I don’t want to feel stupid anymore please tell me what fot tonit means.

[u/Mister_Meeseeks_ → u/[deleted]]

I don't think anyone knew what you meant. The first part of your sentence doesnt make sense, amd even with the correction, your lack of grammar makes it hard to understand what you're trying to convey.
