Suggestions to improve visuals in Japan and Monte stages.
To me these locations are the weakest in the game, especially in forests areas. Here are some suggestions :
Japan :
- add some "podzol" (really dark brown carpet of needles / leaves) under the trees.
- increase foliage density so shadows will completely cover the road, it's often too sparse.
- put dense bushes and tall grass on the sides of the road, but way less further into the forest.
- add tree sprites or whatever possible to hide the sky visible trough logs, would make the forest look bigger and more dense.
Monte :
- some podzol under fir trees could also help. I've noticed this location looks better with darker moods.
- Ideally make the winter version have its specific textures and 3D models instead of the "snow patch". Ice and snow are actually barely noticeable visually.
