most of these are gameplay specific though they are made that way to make the most impact and not deter from the actual gameplay and tbh i feel like thats why so many people like my skins, they look and play good not one or the other.Haskorion wrote:
I think that is because you re-use a lot of gameplay designs in many of your other skins. Like:
All your font choices are kinda similar (rather edged and straight than rounded fonts),
Your hiticircle designs are very similar (middle cut out),
your sliderballs mostly being rings,
or your spinners always following the same structure (old styled spinner with a small centre).
While Eastern Dream is something completely out of this style it still applies to the other skins regarding gameplay.
Sometimes I feel like you still hold on to Azer & Quanteck's Black 2014 skin design with all the gradients and glossyness. Even Azer ditched it because it was used by so many others and I feel like he performed better everytime he switched skins.
Newer skins on the forums mostly follow a minimalist design without all this glossyness. Of course your designs will be deemed as similar when you only make this style.
Please don't view my response as a negative feedback on this skin or your design choices. I rather like your designs. Your YUGEN skin helped get to 3k pp finally like I wrote on that skin or on your stream.
It made me realize that you need to switch up your skin preferences sometimes to get something fresh on the playfield, to be able to read better again. If you play too long with a single design you may stay at your skill level because you always think of maps with that one design in mind and don't put more effort into reading when retrying. While using a new skin you see the map in a completely different way than before and you can perform better, simply because the map gives off a different vibe than you were used to.
font choices are similar in most yes but thats because they all follow the same theme (Techno/Futuristic/Space) you wouldn't want a cursive font in a space theme would you?
i will agree most of my hitcircles follow the same line but what can we do with circles that hasnt already been done? nothing. atleast not until NEXT rolls out.
Sliderballs is just my preference
yes im very lazy with spinners ;dd
lolwat i barely use any gloss there is literally none in this skin LOL only on hitcircleoverlay
and no i will never take any feedback as negative it only helps me so thank you. and yes i agree completely with last paragraph
