Humor Colors

Postby LackofCertainty » Sun Dec 02, 2012 6:58 am

Blood's bar is red. Great, thumbs up.
Yellow bile's bar is yellow. Great thumbs up.

Black bile's bar is green. Huh? Why isn't it black?
Phlegm's bar is black. Huh? why isn't is green?


As a new player I was thoroughly confused when I started because the black health bar is for phlegm, while the green health bar is for black bile. Is it just me, or would it be way more straight forward if those two were flipped. (make phlegm green and black bile black)

That's lovely, thanks.

I was more hoping that the devs themselves would switch the official version, but I guess a community mod works too. Is there any chance of this mod getting included into the base game, or is it just a matter of the devs relying on folks to mod up the game independantly. (I recognize that it's a small dev team, but this seems like a tiny tweak that makes the game a lot more friendly to the noobs like me)

Relying on mods likely, I'm sure there is some lore-tastic reason for why black bile is green that Jorb decided on but I'm just not seeing it.

They really need to change the colour of purity events as well. People always see red salt and go "ooooh, that must give blood right?"

=_=

To be fair though, the new GUI for gluttony is *much* better at "self teaching" players what it's doing.
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.
