Comic-ish textures...?
Ok, here's the deal and my honest opinion.
I love the game, I realy do, and I mostly don't give a "F" on graphics, but this is... well... it is, what it is. I know that most of us like realistic graphics and all of that and I do so too, but... this just looks terrible.

Don't get me wrong, I know that this game isn't much about graphics and it's the gameplay that matters, but in my opinion this could look much nicer with a more cartoon-ish look - NO, not like Fortnite or Cube World, but more like Borderlands etc.

I know this isn't for all, which is understandable, but maybe this could be some sort of Mod or whatever.

Look, I play old games and stuff and graphics do not matter, but there's just something with this one, which is... meh.

Like I said: Love the game tho. Keep it up!
Much love

I didn´t knew that i need it, but now that i think about it...
Cel-shading graphics like in Borderlands would be awesome and i would love it in this game

while mostly also prefering a more realistic aproach there are a few games where i say, that an non-realistic artstyle ist just perfectly fitting. Like the borderlands series, zelda WW and BotW or Divinity:OS(2) were the graphic just goes hand in hand with the overall settup of the game.
And while i can understand that many people dislike such stuff i think that a borderlands like cel-shading with a bit more melanchronic tone would be perfect for this game.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to do something like this with mods or an ENB like post processing?(since some complete render changes like this are "a bit" more complicated and a texture pack solution would look terrible and miss out many features of cel-shading)

other topic: The graphic updates for A17 look awesome. Really looking forward to this!

I don't mind either way but I do love cell shading :)

Cell shading also works with low detail environments which would suit this game well i think but with the new texture update i don't think they would consider changing at this late stage.

I've seen some folks use ReShade to create Borderlandsesque Cell Shaded effects on non-Cell-Shaded games. Might be an option to find someone and get that done if you like that style.

I freakin' love the cell shaded graphics in all BL games.

I tried over and over to get friends to play because combat, gunplay and performance were so good.

But all i got was "ehrmagerd the gerphix!"


On topic: Unity 2018 is supposed to help with better graphics and performance for 7D2D.

Looking forward to seeing these changes.

"Cartoonish" graphics work for borderlands because it's a cartoonish game. This isn't. So no.. it would completely ruin the game for me.

Comic textures would make the game less immersive IMO. Leave that texture to borderlands with it's wild and crazy guns, a place where that kind of texture fits. The graphic style of 7 Days to Die fits with it's genre and is perfect, plus, have you seen the new shaders and lighting in A17 videos? It makes the graphics look even better.

yes, borderlands is pure action and humor, in 7dtd this kind of art in this game kind of game dont don't fit, when I started playing the atmosphere in this game reminded me a little of stalker.

Its not a finished game and in game development you get all the systems in and working *and then* you move to making it look nice and run fast.

While depresing textures scared some of my friends from ever trying this game.... I would not want to change them or atleast be VERY careful changing graphic because it is what creates depresing atmosphere and horror sense, and without it its just another minecraft.

How about game that turns your dreams into reality while making everyday things imposible to grasp. Where it also every 5 minutes stabs your balls with a fork.

Borderlands/2 worked because the game play was good... and the voice acting and humor were fantastic.... I have a feeling that mid way through that game(if it had more realistic textures) some of you wouldnt be thinking...
man this game would be better if it had cartoony cell shading..
if it was in 7 days- after an hour of playing you wouldnt really notice because -its the game play that counts...

I would not care a cartoon shader if that would be just an option to turn on/off in the settings.

I don't agree with an official change to all the textures, but texture changing support like Minecraft has would be awesome so you could easily pick and choose whatever look you want for the game.
