No More Neon!

Player: no more stupid colors in UO

CatHat: Amen, to that! Hueing should be the last possible resort to things. - Especially if some of the colors are nightmarish Neon.

A lot of the art in the past was made without the intention of hueing happenign to it - so it doesn't work too well on many things. One of the things we've worked on is to make sure that new art is capable of tasteful partial hueing so it doens't look totally like its been dipped in a vat of color. Secondly, We've also asked the designers to not use harsh neon hues on things. Thirdly and most importantly we don't want to design things where we do a cheap-o shortcut of 'oh well we'll just hue it". Sometimes it happens - but we're throttling that way back.

New art only - hehe - well it keeps me employed right?

Unfortunately, the damage has already been done

j/k

Actually, the clothing doesn't bother me as much as the rehued/rainbow/neon items like armor and stuff.. and the toku dyes.

Bright colors in general aren't nearly as bad as the... ummm... "inverted" bright colors. You know, the ones where the highlight and shade tones are sorta switched around for a totally acid trippy neon effect. For instance the color of Ice Fiends in 2D last I looked, the same as the Arctic Death Dealer.

But yeah, excellent news!
