Also, asking non-rhetorically, if I keep redesigning my game’s aesthetic, does it mean i have early onset schizophrenia? I really hope this is my last “new vision”, but probably won’t be.

    Thank you for the well wishes.

    A recent study performed on the large batch of one person revealed that pure black used as menu button colour is unlikely to draw out a positive emotion. When asked for more details, the study participants suggested having a more colourful UI would make it more visually pleasing and subtly influence the player’s perception of the game itself.
    However, the colour pallet should not be in conflict with the rest of the game or its theme, but rather to complement it.

    Both the study participant and I wish you well on your journey.

      Thanks for the very interesting study. It’s still very new to me as well to see the drawbacks, but feedback so far has been positive. And for the well wishes! Same to you. :)

        I like the buttons real dark. Either just give them very slight brightness increase or leave em as is imo.
