From Candy to Mono: finding the look

We dropped the candy palette for grey cel-shade with comic outlines, and kept colour only where it matters.

The first pass used a bright candy palette. It looked friendly but everything competed for attention.

The new direction, Mono, is grey cel-shade with hard comic outlines. Toxic green is reserved for poison, purchases and PLAY. Rewards, dailies, gifts and the shop stay colourful for contrast.
