Hi, this is a topic for the starfield of Hot and Cold starfields.
Why this topic?
After the recolor change, I know it’s a good change to eliminate funny blending but I dislike the hot and cold recolor. It feels…too flat, especially the “Aglow with Dust” that feels like not in space at all with the environment in effect.
So here are my Starfield style for Hot and Cold, all 12 available in CIU Note: If some of the starfield is too bright, You could simply darken them
Wow! These starfield recolors are really nicely done and vibrant. Good job. I like most of them more than their original variants, though I do wish you would place the original monochrome color versions for direct comparison between the two. The recolors for “Aglow with Dust” feel somewhat iffy to me personally, I just can’t see it really fitting well with the other backdrops. Everything else came out really nicely though.
This is a really good idea tbh! More background variety is something we definitely need in CIU. Though if I had one thing to say it’s that the hot starfields are too ‘bright’, as in ‘burns my eyes when I look at it’. The CI4 hot retro, red darkness & prometheus cloud look nice, but everything else is really bright. I feel like orange & yellow would fit a lot better in most of the hot environments, like you did in Ashes and Dust.
That’s all I had to say. Overall a nice idea man ^-^
I know the game has a lot of nonsense things but this one is really destroying the physics rules
(You know, changing space’ color[which means changing stars’ colors] due to the temperature?! )
But images you made are really beautiful
(I will use some of them in my arts)
