Concepts of solarite variants of tools that don’t currently have them on the left and the legendary versions, similar to soul seeker, on the right. Any feedback is welcome!

Nice takes on the Solarite Hoe and Shovel!

I prefer the jagged designs of the Solarite hammer since it makes a more interesting silhouette.

I think the Legendary tool designs need a bit more work, specifically the hammer and the shovel. Colors are fine, but the hammer “head” perspective looks flat and the roundness of the shovel makes it look impractical to use.

I’m interested to hear what you had in mind when designing their shapes 🤔

The bottom right jagged sledge looks the most interesting to me

I think it would be great to have the Solarite version feel a bit different/alien when compared to the other ones

Thx for the feedback! I agree the designs for hammer and shovel are pretty flat, I was basing the shovel off of the galaxite variant since it was the most advanced/symmetrical/polished tool design rather than looking jagged and rough but I do think it got a little too symmetrical and circly haha.

For the hammer I was going for a gemstone band around the head of the hammer, but had a hard time really getting a good shape down for it that made sense - mostly just wanting to include that legendary gem aspect.

For sure, I feel like a lot of the shimmering frontier flora/fauna have that jagged edge to them so I thought it was fitting for the tool to have the same

Yeah, I get that - symmetry is so easy to fall into for pixel art. Even trickier when you’re taking perspective into account.🥲

And right, the current legendary hammer design makes me think of a color reskin of the Octarine hammer and as a result, it doesn’t give off that “epic” feeling.

This might just be my own bias because the only legendary hammer I’m aware of is Mjölnir, but I think giving it a very unique shape could help!

[thin knot]

Very true, I’ll take another stab at the hammer/shovel and see if I can capture that legendary feeling a little better!

I like it!

Took another go at shovel and hammer, based it more off of the iron one this time but still not sure it’s super legendary haha. Hopefully the devs add one in so they can show me how it’s done loll

There's no hard wired rule a Legendary tool has to be gold and blue

Go wild

I wanna see your creativity flow

Actually, now that I think about it, all Legendary tools were crafted by the Metro civ

Maybe something different if it were Desert civ?

I want my sledge hammer to be able to shoot laser beams

Make it fly too

True true, I chose gold/blue to try and stay in line with the soul seeker tool but I might have to branch out with some other palettes

I hope it turns out well
