I love the models, not going to get much more out of honey select with those outside of adding a skin texture to maybe dull the shiney lotion effect.
Imo it’s the lighting that’s really flat and subdued. The dark greys in the background highlight the issue even more. It’s what throws the image off.
My unsolicited advice if this game is going on a monthly update schedule would be to swap out the time spent on most of the sandbox elements and focus more on the lighting or post processing filters to make the renders pop more.
Still very excited to see what’s cooking for the next game though.
