Project Zomboid

These new moodles look really bad.
I’m fine with things changing in Zomboid, been playing it long enough.

The new noodles are a huge downgrade and should definitely have another pass as i don’t think they were designed for their size or with a red background.

Hunger:
Old: clear white on red.
New: too thin white with brown handles blend into the bg.

Thirst
Old: bright blue and white on red.
New: dim desaturated blue in gray.

Panic:
Old: skin color open mouth
New: Simpsons skins with less clear detail.

Bored
Old: gray face looking bored, bottom is brought up to sell the grumpy irritated look
New: perfect circle, can’t tell if squinting or bored.

Stressed
Old: looks like the guys is having a panic attack
New: looks like he’s in pain, also very suggestive.

Unhappy
New just looks like the alpha for the old.

Drunk
Old: guys look drunk
New: copy of old but now he’s red and it looks more suggestive.

Heavy load
They both aren’t great.

Endurance
Old: stressed out lungs
New: a bone with two hams on it??

I could go on but it’s just the same thing.
They look odd, have desaturated colors, and have bad readability. They went from style with function one that has neither. I hope these are placeholders, I really do.

I like them. Wasn't sure at first, but they've grown on me.

Play more and you will get used to them
It takes a while to get used to. But I personally still don't like the background color though. It's hard to differentiate each level of the moodles because they choose a matte color for the background color instead of a bright color like the old moodles.

The only one I really dislike is the egg for injury. I think that was a really poor choice.

The Exhausted moodle looks more like Aroused moodle to me but... well it works I guess.

Has the jaundice.

But yeah, the ring around them should be a bit thicker so its easier to see the severity color. Really hard to tell on a laptop screen.

I thought exhaustion still uses the lung icon? The fatigue one looks funny though. I keep mistaking it for the sad moodle because of how it looks.

Mood_Exhausted.png is the one that looks like he is down bad. I'm not sure if it is actually used in game now that I think about it, though.

Yeah, I agree on the egg. I get it, it's cracking, but I'm sure they can come up with something better. The rest of them I like, though I haven't seen the drunk one yet.
i like them both... old and new. I hope some are Placeholders.. I dislike the cracked egg when you get damage :steamhappy:

There was a dev that weighed in on the moodle choices. Said they changed injury from the broken bone icon because it looked more extreme than what Injured was meant to convey in most cases but I think it was still better than the egg.

I'm used to the old ones so I want them back for simply that reason.

Yeah, I don't think I've seen it being used in-game yet.
why did they even replace the moodles there was nothing wrong with the original ones and just ate up more dev time.

It was probably farmed out. VERY common thing in game development.

The old ones could not be scaled well with UI apparently. So that's why they were replaced.

Why they chose to go with a new style I'm not sure however. The old ones were pixellated and fit well with the game IMO. The new ones are growing on me but I think the older ones fit the game better.
