Art Optimization: Enhanced background contrast and color adjustments!

[p]Hey everyone! During our last Playtest, many players told us that while they liked the unique art style of Bolt & Whalington, the backgrounds sometimes lacked clarity and made it hard to distinguish details.[/p][p] [/p][p]So, we've gone back and upgraded the visuals — improving depth, contrast, and overall readability. The result is a clearer, more immersive experience, while still keeping the game's signature style.[/p][p] [/p][p]What do you think of the updated look? We'd love to hear your feedback![/p][p]If you're interested in Bolt & Whalington, don't forget to add it to your Steam wishlist — your support means the world to us.[/p][p] [/p][p]🔗 Bolt & Whalington Steam page: [/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]👉 Check out the video here [/p][p][/p][h3]Follow our community to get the latest information![/h3][p]💬Discord: https://discord.gg/rteuCHaZ5C[/p][p]🔗X: https://x.com/whalington25[/p][p]🔗Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bolt-whalington.bsky.social[/p][p][/p]

Dev Log #8 | I actually put a "cat in the washing machine" into the game?!

We've designed several interesting movement mechanics for this zone, with three different types of long-distance traversal methods.[/p][p]🎥 Watch the video here [/p][p][/p][p]Or scroll down for details!You might notice the Residential Zone feels completely different from the Kitchen Zone. Since it's a living area, it can't be messy and dirty like the Kitchen — instead, I wanted it to give players a fresh, contrasting visual atmosphere.[/p][p] [/p][h3]Follow our community to get the latest information![/h3][p]💬Discord: https://discord.gg/rteuCHaZ5C[/p][p]🔗X: https://x.com/whalington25[/p][p]🔗Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bolt-whalington.bsky.social[/p][p][/p]
