Amongst the leaks & fallout I see a lot of game devs note/complain that gamers don’t know how game dev works and like… yes? So?
We don’t need them to. It’s a culture problem not a knowledge problem.
I don’t need to know how music is made to not be a bitch.

also in case you're curious about the 'color variation' section of the color palette;
I use it in textures as a ✨rainbow vomit✨ layer at a low opacity (anywhere from 5-20%).
It adds visual interest with VERY little effort 💅
had a good time finding these colors in the actual color palette I use for Mail Time 🌈

fun fact: after the game got big in 2020 we had to change the colour of the MedBay cross because we apparently violated the Geneva Conventions Act by making it red???? oops
