Reasonable Porportions

Postby LostJustice » Tue May 15, 2018 4:15 am

Overall, I have to say the game is aesthetically pleasing and I do like a lot of the graphics regardless of what some people say, but there are a few things that really bother me. The biggest one I have noticed is doors to stone towers.

The biggest problems is the door is 2x the hearthling height and the door knobs are even with the head and literally twice the size of the hearthling's head.

I assume its so you can see it better when zoomed out.
I do want more realistic proportions in the game though it would make it look so much better.

That's a compromise with the perspective. Realistic trees take up way too much screenspace.

Would it be possible to hide trees based on camera orientation? Or make them more transparent.
Not all of hearthland is a thick forest it would look cool af if you are in one though.

Would it be possible to add a toggle or something to let the player choose how big the trees look?
Maybe the client rendering rewrite will make it possible if it is not already.

I sorta just imagine the hearthlings are hobbits or something. They're a little over a meter (if the 1m = 1 tile from legacy is still canon).

I mean the graphics overall look good, it just a few quirky things like door height. I can't even see a hearthling using a Great Hall Door.
