Easter Theme (Aesthetics & Juice)
Overview
This skill provides the assets and logic to "Easter-fy" a game. It focuses on the Classic Easter aesthetic: bright pastels, bouncy animations, and egg/bunny iconography.
Core Components (Expert Easter Tools)
Expert 'Squash and Stretch' logic for organic egg-like interactions using Tweens.
Runtime theme injector for applying mass pastel styles across the UI tree.
Professional 'Hidden Item' shimmer effect with additive blending and scale curves.
Date-aware manager for automatic activation of seasonal event content.
Expert registry for tracking hidden items with signal-based progression signals.
Seasonal 3D material swapper using surface overrides to preserve base assets.
Instability-driven physics body for 'Egg-like' wobbly movement.
Immersive FOV 'kick' logic to emphasize collection or pop events.
Celebratory confetti explosion with multi-colored pastel flakes.
Static utility containing curated, harmonious Easter color tokens.
Visual Guidelines
- Colors:
- Pink:
#FFC1CC
- Cyan:
#E0FFFF
- Yellow:
#FFFFE0
- Mint:
#98FF98
- Shapes: Rounded corners (
corner_radius > 8px). Avoid sharp edges.
- VFX: Confetti, sparkles, and ribbons.
NEVER Do (Expert Easter Rules)
Aesthetics & Juice
- NEVER use sharp edges or high-contrast blacks — Easter aesthetics favor rounded corners (
corner_radius > 12) and soft pastel tones.
- NEVER use standard linear scaling for pops — Linear scaling feels 'robotic.' Always use
TRANS_ELASTIC or TRANS_QUART for organic eggs.
- NEVER use billboarding for Easter particles — In close-up UI or VR, billboard sparkles look flat. Use mesh-based particles or axial rotation.
Logic & Performance
- NEVER modify the original .mesh or .tres resource — Swapping materials on a shared Resource changes it for EVERY instance in the game. Always use
surface_override or duplicate().
- NEVER run date-checks in _process — Checking the system calendar every frame is wasteful. Run
Time.get_date_dict_from_system() once on _ready or event trigger.
- NEVER ignore the 'No-Seasonal' toggle — Some players hate seasonal overrides. Always provide a 'Disable Seasonal Themes' option in settings.
Polish
- NEVER have 'Static' collectibles — If a player finds an egg, it MUST react (wobble, sparkle, or pop). Dead items feel like bugs.
- NEVER skip the camera feedback — A collect event without a subtle camera shake or lens kick feels 'hollow.'
