In Colorful you'll use colors to recover life to a colorless world but colors will also be your powers to face the dark thieves of color. Each color that you absorb gives you a unique power and each plays differently. Also as you absorb colors, they combine on the fly and with diffrerent color combination you unlock new attacks giving you different possibilites to combat your enemies. With this you will face the dark thieves of color and return the color and life to this world.

Here I'll give you a quick insight on what aesthetics the game will have and the reasons I have for it.

Colorful is a game about giving color and life to a dead and colorless world. This is why the world must have vivid and lifely colors so that when you see it turn from black and white to it's natural state you clearly notice all the colors returning. Besides, with more vivid colors the effect of recovering colors is much more noticeable.

The other thing about the world is that I'm looking for natural scenario (forest, lake, plains, jungle,etc). I prefer this over cities and techonology because this game is about returning life to the world and nature is much more relatable to life than cities made of concrete or a space station. Nonetheless, I'm ok with having a few shacks or huts in the scenario as long as they aren't too big in the world.

So, to sum it up, the world I'm looking for Colorful is a natural place with vivid and contrasting colors so that when the world recovers its colors you can clearly see it and as far as I know a cartoony look matches that criteria much better than a realistic one.

Here's a look on the shader I'm using on a cartoony bunch of rocks on the left and a realistic one on the right. As you can see, the effect looks much better with the cartoony looking rock.

And here's a little pic of a part of a new level I'm making :)
