Weightless: An immersive and relaxing experience

[h1] Доставайте карандаши, раскрашивать будем [/h1] [b]Weightless: An immersive and relaxing experience – это обычная раскраска, без изысков, каких не то, что в Steam, на просторах интернета полным-полно. Но есть ли у нашей игры как у программного обеспечения какие-то плюсы, чтоб мы купили её за деньги, а не нашли что-то похожее и не менее расслабляющее в интернете? В этом вопросе я и поставил себе цель разобраться. [/b] Начну с того, что перед нами так называемые «взрослые» раскраски, которые заполнили полки книжных магазинов пару лет назад. В них обычно нам предстают какие-то интересные и причудливые фигуры, ну или персонажи книг, комиксов, фильмов. Обычно я их видел с красивыми обложками. Потом выходили более изощрённые варианты с информацией о зверях, персонажах, и.т.д. Это было сделано для того, чтобы интерес у раскрашивающего был больше, чем желание скачать ту же раскраску с интернета и распечатать у себя на принтере. Ну, а тут у нас цифровой вид данной продукции. Вас ждёт тридцать очень креативных и замысловатых иллюстраций на выбор. Игра предлагает вам уровни с 30 красивыми и подробными иллюстрациями, а также практичным цветовым колесом, которое позволяет хорошо сочетать разнообразие цветов и их оттенки. В интерфейсе доступны четыре предмета. Ручка и белый ластик, которые можно настроить на 4 различных размера кисти, инструмент перемещения холста и кнопка отмены, которая появляется после каждого мазка кистью. Поскольку нет никакого инструмента заливки, это делает игровой процесс довольно монотонным и даже разочаровывающим в противовес расслаблению в обещаниях. Игрок должен заполнить вручную каждый отдельный кусок, и поэтому пробовать различные цветовые комбинации невозможно, так как это потребует много времени и сил. Список цветов включает в себя 14 последних использованных цветов, но выбор их из него не изменит цветовое отображение на колесе или порядок списка, поэтому игрок должен полагаться на свою память. К сожалению, даже в процессе раскрашивания игра не доделана и сделана наобум. Ведь следующая деталь сведёт с ума любого перфекциониста. Когда вы красите, линии цветов раскрашиваются как… как в чёртовом Paint. С видными пикселями и «белыми артефактами». Раскрашиваемые листы действительно красиво нарисованы и детализированы. Но, к сожалению, тут тоже не без изъянов, ведь линии не являются чистыми. То есть они тут без сглаживания вместе с некоторыми белыми пикселями, «припаянными» к линиям. В этой игре есть много разных саундтреков, но все они привязаны к своим конкретным листам и не могут быть изменены. Я специально повключал музыку на каждом из уровней, она везде разная. Дело в том, что вся музыка в игре зациклена, а слушать её не хочется уже на минуте десятой не хочется, ибо в ней не хватает разнообразия. Саундтрек хоть и довольно нейтрален, и должен расслаблять, но некоторые мелодии могут даже раздражать. И оно и понятно, ведь каждая страница требует нескольких часов для полного завершения. [h1] Итог [/h1] [b]Поменяй бы авторы лишь некоторые вполне очевидные моменты, я бы ещё подумал над положительной оценкой. Заливка в игре была бы действительно полезна, так как все композиции абсолютно заполнены разделенными элементами. Игра не очень хорошо регистрирует на точки и линии, которые находятся рядом с рисунком, из-за чего даже простую вещь приходится перекрашивать вновь и вновь. Конечный результат никак не может быть сохранен и экспортирован, и тут остаются только скриншоты, только хардкор. Недочёты этой игры могут сделать ее очень проблематичной и нервирующей для длительного прохождения, как по мне, и за ту же цену я бы порекомендовал купить бумажную раскраску. Или поискать в интернете что-то подобное, такого добра там навалом. Больше удовольствия получите, чем от, откровенно говоря, красивого, но халтурного «Пейнта» с опрятной обложкой. [/b]

[b]Weightless: An immersive and relaxing experience[/b] offers the journey of adult coloring books on the computer, with 30 beautiful and detailed illustrations as well as a practical color wheel that allows a good variety and hue matching. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] This game allows the player to simply color in different coloring sheets. In the interface there are four different basic features available. A pen and a white eraser that can both be adjusted into 4 different brush sizes, move canvas tool and an undo button that appears afterwards. The pen can be used easily with both mouse and drawing tablet. The eraser works in the same exact way, but is actually a white colored pen. As there is no bucket tool, this makes the gameplay quite monotonous and even frustrating in opposition to the relaxation in promises. The player has to fill in manually every single piece and so trying different color combinations is not something possible, as this would require a lot of time and work. The only thing to do is to go forward, as it's already time consuming as it is. The color list includes 14 last used colors, but selecting them from it won't reposition the color mapping on the wheel or change the list order, so the player has to rely on their memory. The game accepts basic commands such as ctrl+z, and uses mouse scroll to zoom in and out. [h1]Graphics and Soundtrack[/h1] Coloring sheets are really nicely drawn and detailed. Unfortunately the linearts aren't clean, instead it seems as they originally were .jpgs files, with a white background, and were cleaned by someone else instead of requesting the .png transparent files from the artist. This leaves jagged lines without antialiasing, together with some white pixels attached to the lines. Additionally drawing lines are uneven as well. There are many different soundtracks in this game, buy they are all bound to their specific sheets and can't be changed. They loop endlessly, unless switched off. They are quite neutral, but some of them could lead to being a little annoying after some time, as each page requires several hours to complete. [h1]Bugs/Issues[/h1] The area surrounding the color wheel is transparent, but won't allow the player to draw in, forcing them to move the canvas. The last used colors palette resets every single time a coloring sheet is closed. It also won't reposition the color selection on the wheel, which would help greatly with color matching. There are absolutely no greyscale tones, aside from the white which can be applied using the eraser. The tools that can be used are very limited and plain, they basically are limited to a pen with 4 different line weights. A bucket would be really useful, since all the compositions are absolutely filled with separated elements. The game doesn't register well dots and lines that are near the lineart, so the player has to mostly limit to flat coloring. Some textures would change this game into something much more enjoyable, but there are none. Both coloring lines and canvas lineart lack antialiasing and don't look nice upclose. The final result can't be saved and exported in any way, even if every project takes more hours to be completed. The only way to show the finished piece is to take a screenshot and while some elements of the interface can be hidden, others can't. There is no tutorial or controls list in the game, so while I figured out some intuitive features, there might be a lot more. Personal note: As this is a drawing based game, I also tried using a drawing tablet. Even if it worked, it was the same as using a mouse. Drawing tablets have different pressure levels registration, which allow the lines to change their size and make them more pleasant, dynamic and interesting. It's a real pity an art game wouldn't consider this, as implementing pressure would add great value to the game. [h1]Performance[/h1] Nothing to report [i]Specs of the computer used:[/i] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU 2.70GHz 2.90 Ghz 8 GB RAM NVIDIA GeForce 950M Drawing tablet: XP-Pen Artist 13.3 (tablet with display) [h1]Content to Price Ratio[/h1] Considering my estimated time for the completion of all the 30 sheets is around 100 or more hours. The issues in this game can make it very problematic and unnerving, it does require a big amount of patience before any immersion is possible. It's an amazing price considering the time it would take to complete it, but the game does not deliver what it promises, [i]This product was reviewed using a free key provided by the Developers.[/i] [quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/23741321/]Follow our curator page,[b] Alexander's Club Curations[/b] if you like and want to see more reviews like this one.[/url][/quote]

[url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/32482033/]Crim's Humble Opinion Curator[/url] [h1]Novel Concept But Lacking A Bit[/h1] I do enjoy me a relaxing and immersive experience. Weightless is essentially a coloring book with relaxing music. There are currently 30 different pages for you to color which saves your progress as you color them. It is a nice program of sorts to kind of unwind and relax with. I feel like this program first of all in it's current build should be recommended using a pad of sorts for the coloring (if that's compatible.) The mouse method works well enough; but it feels like it was designed more in mind for people with drawing pads. I would say there are features that can be added to improve it. A color selector is one of these features. If you stop off on a page and want to come back to it; it may be hard to remember what exact color you were using. There is a pan command but it would be much easier if you could pan using the middle mouse button or alt click. Lastly and it may defeat the purpose of the experience but I feel that a fill tool could also be implemented. The price is honestly about what you would pay for a physical coloring book with about the same amount of images so I can't really knock it for that. For now I'm really on the fence but I can't say I would recommend you buy it. Perhaps with some improvements and implementations I could sway the other way but it's just not as immersive as I would have hoped currently.

Tolle Idee, aber... das Angebot überzeugt mich jetzt so in der Form nicht, sorry. Wer sich mit Ausmalheften für Erwachsene auskennt, findet das hier nun in digitaler Form vor. Eigentlich ganz toll. Schöne Bilder, entspannende Musik zum Ausmalen, verschiedene Strichgrößen, Farbpalette, Radierfunktion usw. Aber während ich ausmalte, fiel mir auf wie anstrengend das für die Hand ist und man malt auch immer wieder über den Rand hinaus. Wunsch: Es sollte eine unsichtbare Wand eingebaut werden, dass man nicht in die anderen Felder kommt. Zumindest sollte diese Option mit zur Auswahl stehen. (On/Off) Insgesamt gefällt mir das Angebot auch nicht so, weil ich mich im Menü, mit den Sounds und mit der Benutzeroberfläche auch nicht so wohl fühle. Irgendwas fehlt. Ich gebe hier einen Daumen runter, sorry.

It's a digital color book. That's all this is. This isn't a photo program like people seem to think it is. There's line art. You color it. That's it. The palette could use work as some colors aren't selectable. Add some darker colors to the mix. The line art could be edited better, or set to multiply over the color.

It's 2 dozen intricate coloring pages on a program that makes MS paint look complicated with a looped track. I was actually excited about this, but it's just 4 grainy brush sizes, an undo button, an eraser, and a drag/drop button. The drag/drop is the only way to move around the screen. There's not even a fill feature. Don't spend the $4, spend 4 minutes pulling up some pictures on google for your basic paint program and finding a youtube playlist.

saw that there were no user reviews on this product, so I decided to write a review here so that potential purchasers know exactly what they are getting. There is not any form of indicators of progression or forward moment IE no next levels or rewards to unlock. You are given 13 black and white drawings any of which you can choose to color in . In any way you want. At anytime you want. while the music plays in the background. Using a program similar to Microsoft's paint. That is all there is 13 black and white drawings that you can color in. While listening to music and nothing else. Literally nothing else. If you want to make them all pink or whatever other color it simply does not matter. All pictures are opened up when you get the game nothing to unlock. I would not even call this a game I would call it a digital coloring book with music. For about the same price you can get a hard copy coloring book but without the music. So I guess adding the music is something . Also, lets say you decide to make a green line on the drawing the program will automatically save your picture with a green line on it until you click the redo button for that picture and it will remove your green line. I personally would not describe the experience of using this digital coloring book As immsreive . Unless you really lose yourself in couloring pictures . There is nothing wrong here the product .For the most part is as advertised however I feel that adding the immsreive lable is a bit misleading . so on that basis i am going to give it a negitive revew. If it was advertised as what it is a digital colouring book with music I feel that they would get far fewer purchases . for what it is it is a bit overpriced wait for a sale on this one or go to a bookstore and get a hard copy couloring book . with a few more pictures .
