Recolourable main character for the level designer

[-BY]

Imagine a monochromatic world, the main character would suit perfectly into, if it got the correct colour.

There were many times where I wished I had the ability to color the player.

Some uses that I can think of:

• Turn saturation to 0 for monochrome levels (as you mentioned).
• Turn down the brightness for dark levels.
• Make the hue increment on a loop for rainbow/invincibility.
• Set alpha to 0 for an invisible player, which would make custom player sprites not require a solid color background.
• Turn alpha down to 50 or so for "invisibility" powerups.
• Basically any situation where the current sprite clashes with a stylized environment.

I swear, this must be programmed into CH3.

Just please don't taunt me with more examples, okay? :3

The current build has more control than that.

Spoiler: show

We've also been testing HSL control for segments of sprites. So you can have pallet swaps that only affect select segments of the sprites. You'll have to wait a bit for an example of this, the only demo I have shows too much.

Furthermore, if you like programming, all shaders are overwriteable.
