3D stage artstyle

What will the macroscopic stage and above look like. Graphically?

Will we have a more blobby art style or something more spiky? Will the colours be vibrant or more desaturated and grey?

Will we even be able to see the environment without eyes?

I like this concept art by an artist in the dev forum ‘mirrormonkey’.


But what do you guys think or want to see?

I mean, microbes don’t have eyes yet players can see around them so :person_shrugging:

True. But I heard the reason you can see the environment is to represent the way cells ‘see’ by picking up chemicals and pheromones.

Shouldn’t macroscopic creatures still be able to “see” this way then, at least up until some point, when they are still very small?

Yes. Although having eyes should make a difference

Would there be a different between compounds eyes and lens eyes, so for instance the former give a hexagonal overlay on your view?

I doubt it would be worth it to go that far.

Yeah, though perhaps you couldn’t perceive depth well with such eyes…

Unless you had a Holochroal eye found in some Trilobites, which is a compound eye with many lenses.

Didn’t know that existed, would that be an in-between?
