#Improve the look of foliage

Personally, the biggest issue I have with the game is that the foliage, mainly colours, is just not my cup of tea. I quite liked the look of the foliage on launch, but even that had a few minor flaws.

Now, before I suggest what should change - I just want to say, this is my opinion! I don’t mind if anyone likes the new foliage and/or current foliage colours, this is just my opinion. I also want to say that I’m not suggesting the foliage revert to the launch one or anything, and I don’t want to offend anyone who designed the recent foliage. It still is good, even though I personally think it could be different.

First of all, I personally think the grass should be a green closer to the launch grass green. That’s really my only issue with it. I think the blending should improve though.

Now for trees.. they have only gotten worse since launch. The actual leaf colour was always a bit of a disappointment for me as I would’ve loved to have them be more vibrant than the actual very dull yellow and green. The orange and red ones and pretty good. I’m a bit surprised they aren’t very vibrant because in the image used in the PlayStation activity card for Day 1, Case Closed, the trees appear super vibrant. The green isn’t so yellow and washed out, it looked nice.

There is another issue with trees though, and it was seemingly added in with patch 8 or something. Tree trunks appear green now, and I really don’t like it. I assume it’s because of blending, but some are just fully green (shown in the attached image) and the ones with blending still just don’t look as good.

Anyway, this has been my rant about foliage. Hopefully the developers can take it into consideration! And, I’ve attached images of the weirdly green tree trunks.

I think it looks fine

#

I'd just prefer if there was a bit more foilage especially when ruined town releases

#

it needs to be a bit more overgrown

#

Trees are something a little green IRL too

Hello Neighbor is supposed to be quirky, it doesn’t have to abide by the constraints of real life foliage, and the trees looked nice in that activity card (mentioned in post) so I have no idea why they changed it.

#

I wonder if I can find it online

#

I dont think I notice any visible large change

#

The green doesnt bother me, but if you could find some comparison images before and after

#

could help this post cause you need to show people the changes

Yeah, it’s also hard to find this activity card picture because you can’t screenshot the picture on ps5 so it’s annoying

#

Don't know if they touched the foilage in patch 9

#

oh yeah ps5 has patch 9 now I forgot

#

Just use the screenshot feature on ps5?

This is hard to get the angles the same, but you can definitely see the more prominent green colour, and I personally don’t like it.

the problem is

#

left one looks brighter probably cause it was taken at a different time in game

#

on the right one lots is covered by shadow

#

I honestly think the right one looks better

#

I’ve played through the game many times, and when it’s brighter it still looks very green

#

The left one has no variety

#

and its meant to be a rundown area near the museum so it makes sense that it looks more dark and less green

#

There’s nothing wrong with the new foliage, I just don’t like the green

#

#

You're right about the green it could be a bit brighter
