Cottage Living green overtone (lighting, not landscape)

I just got part way through an early access of Cottage Living (had to take a break), because the lighting of the world is a sickly (subtle, but there) green overtone. I was hoping (after seeing initi...

@Bluebellflora I am well aware of what the UK is like. There isn't a sickly green hue to it (thank goodness). The land is lovely (in some parts), and lush (in some parts), and my post did mention that it wasn't the landscaping that is the source of the sickly green hue- the source is the lighting. Not sure what Disney has to do with anything.

@InfiniteVerve

Have you had hands on experience with the new pack? Or are you just going by what you've seen online?

I don't see the green hue you're referring to, have watched the same GC video on 4 different screens since you posted to see if I was missing something, maybe your monitor levels need to be adjusted?

The Disney reference is in relation to the aesthetic. Taking something from the real world and making it overly fantastical and rose tinted, completely unreal.

    @Bluebellflora I have seen footage on a few (good, and great) monitors, and I have seen a few gameplay (including the live stream). The hue is prominent in 'The Bramblewood', and in 'Old New Henford'. In the town center ('Finchwick', respectively) the affect is not noticeable (to myself and a couple other people). Maybe you could check your monitor levels (hopefully that helps?).

    I would say that, aesthetically speaking, this game pack would verge on a disney (if you mean disney as an aesthetic = overblown colour of lighting). A simple colour adjustment (before release) is not a difficult thing to do. Preliminary input can save future headaches.

      Ah ok, so you haven't played it. Probably best to reserve judgment until it comes out 😛 

      Maybe if enough people have a problem with the colours they can patch in a change in the future.

        @Bluebellflora yeah, don't need to play it to see what it is 😉 Have seen many other packs,and the colour has stayed true to the LP/Early release footage (as have the bugs).
