New striped water. Is it better than just plain blue? (img.itch.zone)

How "watery" is this water to you? Enough or do you expect something more from "abstract map-tier water"?

I think this looks better than flat blue, but it really depends on the rest of your map. Can't really see a lot of it here.

And why are there a few short horizontal lines in the left side of it?

[–] Lembot_0001@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Those horizontal lines are "waves". They look better when there are more of them on the screen.

I was going with "nice" until I noticed those waves.
They don't feel like waves (and probably won't even with more of them) with the currently added hashing (slanting lines).

You might want to change the colour of the waves or something if you want to keep the 2 together, such that they produce the effect you are aiming for.
