Block Inconsistency

SmittyW · 2015-12-31 19:10:15

Hello. I'm here today to talk to you about a very important subject. Yes, you know what I mean. The biggest problem to have plagued EE possibly since the absence of mrshoe. Something so repulsive that it is undoubtedly the reason that newcomers won't stay.

That's right, I'm talking about

Drop-Shadows

As you can see, the blocks on the teal background look a little strange. That's because there are no shadows. This phenomenon is visible in most solid action blocks and one-way platforms as posted above. Note that the picture does not include all infected blocks. Arguably, there are some decor that could fall under this category as well.

Also consider that the ladder from the dojo pack is the only ladder without a shadow. Could this be related to ninja's chat ban and nou's transparent hatred of ninjas?

On the vomit-green background are some examples of this inconsistency and how silly regular blocks look when paired with the infected blocks. I hope these admins find a cure before the virus spreads. Thank you and as always, keep up the work.

I don't see any inconsistencies. Look:

Death Gate: Death leaves no shadows, because death is shadow itself, the absence of life, the totality of shadow itself.
One-way platform: Why should one-way have a two dimensional shadow? If you pay close attention, there's is a one dimension shadow in the block, consistent with its name.
Half block, half shadow.
The timed block have no shadow because time is an intangible concept, with an intangible shadow.
The ladder's shadow is on the floor, because the sun is in the sky. Makes sense right?
The switch gate and coin gate have no shadows because our wise developers see them as part of a bigger system, they are used to create systems and contraptions and complex mechanisms, concepts that are also intangible. Why should a switch resetter have a shadow?
The builders club gate is building it's shadow, just wait and see for yourself.
The ice have a shadow and lightning effect in the block itself.
Please don't add shadows in the white block, there is a reason this block is the brightest of all.

Shadows are generated by the game, the blocks graphics don't have anything to do with this.

I think if clouds would have shadows, then the shadows would cover the cloud decorations.

Block shadows don't cover decors. The only blocks that do overlap are the jungle pack face block and pot, which are also inconsistent. For some strange reason they seem to be on an entirely different layer and also cover smiley faces.
