Archived Some Feedback

[Chrisk]

I just played the latest version of Terasology and got some feedback for gameplay and graphics

• The default move speed should be way faster, compared to minecraft you are moving really slow
• The comic-like outlines are a little bit too strong, they should be a little bit weaker
• Unified icon style - the block icons are looking way more realistic than item icons, which are more or less pixel art based comic style
• The default blur strength should be a little bit lower, even though it is adjustable I think it is way to strong for a normal gameplay
• The ingame graphics are looking really beautiful, thumbs up for the graphics style development

I dont want to start a new topic

I think this can be done better http://s7.directupload.net/images/130401/lczalkhp.jpg

Aw, I can't access file upload sites from work so I can't see that

Able to just attach the .jpg to a post here?

Cervator: I just uploaded it... I agree, it could be done better. Even a font outline, or just a gray bar behind the affected text would work.

Chrisk: I don't know if the normal movement should be any faster, but there probably should be more difference between normal and run.

Oh! Yeah, that settings screen totally needs a square background for the labels

I talked to jamoozy a little while ago about maybe doing some work on the settings GUI. Will ping him separately and see how it is going

I kept forgetting to post that issue... I just defaulted to my Linux style, and hand edited the conf file.

Second vote from me that the blur kicked in really close, and made the world feel a bit "enclosed". Also, because it's so strong the blur was impacted by what was in the centre of your field of vision so as I rotated objects in the middle distance would blur in and out.

Of course that made me want to get into the code and make it configurable. I have a premonition of how my evenings will be spent...

 

[Cervator]

Hi christutty - the blur is already configurable in the graphic settings, or at least the intensity is. I've been wondering for a while if maybe we should default to "some" rather than "max"

Either way always good with more people tinkering! Happy to have it.

+1 for changing the default

 

[Cervator]

begla is changing the blur default. That was easy!

"Survival" --> "Normal" for now too, since it really isn't much about survival yet, especially with no extra modules enabled like hunger or creatures
