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.


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.
