Looks like they're asking us to vote on the default color options, using the screenshot from earlier to show the different versions: http://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2607

I had to go with the option A. I don't think B looks too bad, but C is just awful looking. Remember when games had color? I miss those days.

Yeah, B and A would both be fine even if I prefer B, but C is downright bad.

Agreed, C looks like the reason Rage looked bad. Fortunately it is also losing in the poll. I am disappointed that A is not getting more support, but it also seems to suggest that you will be able to change the saturation level in the options anyway, making it a moot point beyond what the default setting will be (and B certainly looks good anyway).machinegunmessiah posted:so this is what they are doing with your cash, huh?

A looks like a puddle of Tang. I'd honestly prefer C over A, but B is the best.

Maybe it's my monitor, but A's so bright it physically hurts. C's right out; B's definitely best in my opinion.

I picked A because when I played Wasteland on my Apple IIGS in 1988 it was nothing but bright green and oranges anyway, and I loved it!

Why is this even a thing? Isn't this something that could changed with a slider in the options? Create everything with high saturation, and they have a slider that can bring down the saturation as each person sees fit.

Create everything with high saturation, and they have a slider that can bring down the saturation as each person sees fit. Lots of people wouldn't see the slider. I don't root around game menus looking for saturation settings. Most of the people in this thread would yes, but by large it doesn't seem like a thing a lot of people would find or change. Also if they determine a "standard" saturation they can design a game that looks best with that.

And besides, if they use non-default saturation settings in promotional material, that's going to confuse a lot of people when the final comes out.

I hate to say this, it would have been cool if they tried to replicate the same CGA palette of the original game. Obviously not exactly, but with lighting and shaders. A bit like TF2, where there's two primary colors separating the teams, but there's mixes, shades, tints, and values coloring them. I chose B because it's a happy medium between over-saturated you're missing the giant Scorpitron 2.0 in the background and washed out brown and tan of every other game out there.

I picked A just to support brightness and color in games, but B is definitely the best compromise.

Seeing that buckle makes me wish I got in on it. Oh well, I spent more money on kickstarter than I really had, so I guess it's for the best. If you decide to get hats made, I promise to max out my credit card for it though.

To give it the authentic "Wasteland" appearance I am personally beating each buckle with a hammer until it is broken and unwearable.

Actually, you can get various aging solutions at craft stores that could add some really cool effects to the belt buckles. Patinas, rust, blueing, etc etc.

Commissar Kip posted:But nothing gives the aging solution like the old beating with a hammer and submerging in acid trick. They do, and they work better because they can be controlled. Dipping something in acid is fine at first, but even if you scrub it thoroughly some minute particles of acid will remain, and your belt buckle will fall apart in 6 months.

"Nice weathered Desert Rangers badge, Quarex!" "Thanks, I controlled-dripped acid onto it." "Don't you angrily complain whenever the temperature gets over like 70 degrees?" "..." "I just don't see how you would make it as a Desert Ranger." "I was in a Russian sauna one time." "Maybe you should join the Fat Ice Rangers?" "Who am I even talking to right now?"
