The beauty of Hytale highlighted by a more refined visual treatment

Description

Hello! I have a lot of respect for the work done by the artists, but the very saturated visual style was bothering me, especially after long play sessions. So, I decided to make a few visual adjustements that I personnaly enjoyed, and I thought it would be nice to share them with everyone.

This is a general overview of version 1.0, including the changes I made; additional changes and additions were introduced in later updates and are (detailed in their respective patch notes).

  • The grass, as well at all its variants (including the full grass blocks) have been slightly darked and desaturated, while maintaining the cartoon esthetic specific of Hytale
  • The birch leaves were also desaturated, as they stood out excessively compared to the rest of the vegetation. They remain nevertheless a little more colored than the other types of leaves.
  • The plants and some of the flowers have undergone a treatment similar to that of grass, while keeping the intensities variations and the visual differences specific to each.
  • The sand, red sand as well as the rock sand variants have also been slightly desaturated, but in a more subtle way than grass.
  • The pebbles present on the shores have been darkened to reduce their visual aggression.
  • The water has been rendered duller and deeper, with a slight contrast adjustment to enhance its natural look.

(If you have any suggestions for future adjustments, let me know!)
