Since the beginning I wanted to add clear borders to all my characters and levels. This was mainly due to this being a physics game, and I wanted no doubt about which object can collided with which object.
Since the characters takes a lot of effort to move, then the player should find no surprises about what is a floor/wall, and what is just decoration.
Unfortunately, today, assembling some new art, I realized that the white borders were just too much noise.
So I made a fast mockup to test how it would look without the borders...
What do you think? Should I keep the paper white borders... or should I delete them?
My vote is paper outline, but I'd need to see game footage with both for a more informed decision.
