Hydroponics/Xenoflora sprite overhaul

Jesus fucking christ everything looks so hideous in basic baycode, we need to get some actually appetizing sprites for plants, seeds, and fruit/vegetables. Half of them reuse recolored, puke or snot tinted generic 'fruits' that often look nothing like the actual fruit in question is supposed to. I've seen good sprites for fruits and vegetables before. I know they're out there.


Do I actually need to make my own custom sprite pack and mash it against some administrator's face repeatedly to make it happen? D:


And while we're on the subject, having nearly everything you can grow being described as "A delicious X! Probably" is really lazy and stupid. Did you know GRASS is labelled as delicious fruit, probably?

I think the annoying, yet purely cosmetic things are being put off to the side in light of other, large dev projects. Given that, and the fact we might lose a spriter to sever moderation positions, the only way this is going to happen anytime soon is if someone from outside the dev team does it.

Hey funny you should mention that, this is what I have so far. More is coming. :D

I do have one suggestion. I'd say make that chilli pepper smaller (and less curved).

The sprite just seems too large, for what are usually a very small fruit. Extremely large peppers do exist, but their scoville rating is low to negligible, and they're barely worth being called chillies


i'd say just make it look like a jalapeno

Now I find myself curious about something.


Piles of money (thalers?) seem to have a variety of different sprites, which randomly change every time you add or remove money to the pile. I wonder if having several different randomly occurring chili pepper sprites would be possible..

Don't know how I missed this, but Kaed, your sprites look great! However, I do have a concern about them. Beside the pumpkins, they don't really look like they "fit" with what the rest of stuff looks like. However, I want to say they actually look better. If you're going to recreate everything, and not just whats broken, Id say replace what we have with what you've made. I especially like what you've done to seed, much better looking than the little packets we have now.

This is going to be an incremental thing. I intend to have all the stuff replaced in the end, I'm just starting with the really ugly stuff.

looking at the sprites a little more, i'd say maybe also tone down the saturation a bit, add some more shading.


but please un-bend the chilli peppers, that will annoy me for months otherwise :()
