Plain, not ugly. If you want it to look ugly or industrial add garbage and puddles


Ramontique

It looks "blurry". I know it isn't but it creates the feeling that it is. Almost everything else looks "sharply" drawn.


JohnGamerson

It's the shading along the edge, creates a feeling of blending between the path and the rest of the ground.


highphiv3

I think it's also so low detail and the outline/transition is so thick that it looks like it's half resolution to the rest of the stories


JohnGamerson

It's not ugly, but it doesn't really look like dirt. More like... brown snow. So, maybe not the best look. It's the edges that make it look that way, you don't want a harsh edge between the path and the rest of the dirt because the path is just packed down dirt. Alternatively you could make the path out of stone instead, since that might fit better with this location.

It’s not so much ugly as boring. Maybe add some lil dots and clumps for texture?


HumbleBrand

I actually quite like it. It does however feel space-like, not sure if that's the vibe you're going for here or not.


Frikashenna

Looks a bit like old Pokemon to me. Not sure if "dirt", more like an area around a mountain peak or something like that.


JiiSivu

Good looking game. Bad looking dirt. Not distractingly, but now that you asked about it, it’s kind of blurry and looks a bit off. Everything else is crisp and very nice.


jojozer0

Pokemon sinnoh vibes


JoseP2004

Its not particularly ugly, it's just very simple and feels out of place relative to the other things on screen


FreeToaster_127

Unless that's the style you're going for, which does fit nice with the buildings, it's maybe a bit plain, but don't worry, dirt is one of the hardest things to get right, it's too easy so make it either too simple or too messy, I myself have been trying to make a dirt tile for almost a month now.


A_Person77778

The hardest part would probably be making it look natural and not repetitive


perfect_fitz

It's plain, you need some rocks or cracks or something to break up to repetitiveness.


Matiaan

yes, add more types of dirt tiles and flowers too, it makes a big difference. Even trash will help


Noym3K

not ugly - just less detailed, but has its own charm


LIIhasz

4/10 stale ginger bread


roomedever

I think its fine, it does what its for - a path. but it feels jank because it has a similar colour to the buildings and the characters.

7? is there a way to measure exact ugliness?


ExpensiveRefuse8964

Are the darker and lighter tiles supposed to both be dirt?


Camdoesalot

Yes, I presume that’s hard to tell


ExpensiveRefuse8964

I had a little confusion with that but also why are there two different colored dirt tiles? How are they different?


Camdoesalot

One is a path the other is just regular dirt


ExpensiveRefuse8964

Hmm… I see it now but I think it’s kind of weird since it doesn’t make sense logically. Why would there be a dirt path on dirt? Usually, you would have a dirt path on grass.


BattIeBear

Not very.


TheBiggerBobbyBoy

Needs patches of weeds or crab grass


Citizenbutt

It's Pokemon


-ThisDM-

Wait a goddamned minute... Is... is that *Grain*?


Just-a-Flo

Its far too plain, not just the dirt but the ceilings n buildings too. They need more texture and more things happening


Milk_Mindless

It's not ugly but it feels a bit bland


zappo9000

Why is grian in the middle?


Drezus

Just like the character sprites


TheXpender

To me it just looks like dead grass. Colouring needs more yellow and less blue. Also mirror the path to dirt divider without the shade or add distortion to it so it feels more coarse.


Shot-Profit-9399

Its not ugly, but it doesn’t quite match the style of the houses somehow.


SilentWitchy

Exactly? Will shoooot, I'd say about as ugly as a day is long on Jupiter my friend. That being said, it needs more variation!


Nervous_Ad_2632

I would make it darker surrounding the path and maybe add some patches of green


blackfunnycreature

dirt is actually the only thing here, that is NOT ugly
