Small Living World - Colors Feedback

[ajrarn]

I add a yellow outline when one object is selected.
But otherwise no tree should have outline.

Can you show me which outline are you talking about?

Each of the leaves on the tree made of sprites has a dark green outline.

Ho I see....

You have the eye for the details.
I will try some variant with the Tree Of Life...
but, just removing the outline from the leaves, makes the tree look really bad.

I have tried different thing with the Tree Of Life, but I'm not really proud of any thing I tried.
Any comments?

I think the last one fits best with the style of the other trees, it lacks volume though, is there perhaps some way to colour the "front" leaves (those drawn last) lighter, and the "back" leaves (those drawn first) darker?
Also, if this tree is meant to be important and stand out, perhaps it should be bigger, or have a more interesting shape, or more interesting colours?

Finally, after long tough, I decided to keep the texture on the leaves for the Tree Of Life.
The other models were not looking as good. I know it is different than the other, but this tree is different anyway.
I have increased the lighting effect.

Also, I have reworked the cloud.
After different tries, I came back to something similar, but I thing I have improved the style.
The shape is different, and the gradient is better.
I have also removed the outline.

This is not a completed rework, but everything is in the details.

Thanks for your precious feedback.
It really helps to correct major visual annoyance.

I decided to push the game into full production release!

But this is not the end, I'm still planning to add features and improve the visual gradually.
I also think the feedback will be more contextual from the running application than from a static image.

So, if you want to give it a try, download the android app from the Google Store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=smalllivingworld.com
I will collect any feedback from the pixel artists.

Thanks.
