It’s not great

I do love it even though I get a more 80's kind of vibe from it, very good job on using vibrant colors and not destroying my eyes

definitely a better execution of whatever the fuck other dance-floor-themed on the workshop are, but it's still..... kind of tacky..? i really dont want to shit on it cuz its actually decent, but its still a good one. tone down the colors just a SLIGHT bit, make less colors appear on the main area, scale it up, then it's 100% way better than "snowflake swirled" type of warpaint.

love the purple

if only it glowed like you added in the pictures...but until we get that neon attachment suggestion from the workshop. i'm afraid this is a flop my friend.

I don't like making comparisons but this has 1000x more love and detail put into it compared to Starlight Serenity, I especially like what you did to the alpha mask of the main texture to make it look and feel like an actual carpet. And the colors are way less extreme in saturation compared to Starlight.

if starlight serenity is f tier this is d tier, this war paint with neon, rainbow geometrical shapes and a flat solid color or gradient for the secondary color has been done to death and is just lazy imo. it doesnt fit the artstyle well but im glad you at least toned them down a bit. overall just a boring, flat war paint that doesnt fit tf2.

In all seriousness I did tone them down so they'd fit the artstyle better

Snetry, because I like pretty colours!~

Dude arguing this doesn't belong when Valve added the Zoomer scout hair to the game

This is such a minor overstep and fits the artsyle well lmao

and i love it

it looks like the floor of a laser tag arena

Another thing I might add is that the blood stains are just unnecessary and only make the paints look worse.

There’s not much you can really do for this paint to make it look the best really and it does look better compared to other similar paints but as I stated before, it just doesn’t fit tf2’s aesthetic the best.

If I’m being honest, I don’t really like this paint that much for a number of reasons.

I just feel like the purple colours for the trigger and barrel are too flat and a little ugly. It could be worse but its not the greatest.

Pattern paints have always been a pet peeve i and a lot of others have had with paints, people are just sick of them now and while the shapes are fine and the colours aren’t too saturated or offensive I still feel as if it’s just a little bit too kiddy for the game. I feel as if the party theme just doesn’t fit well overall for such a stylised game as seen with other paints such as party phantom etc…

The items/paints you mentioned do not belong regardless of if they're in or not, those items are the exception not the rule. Those items take aesthetics which are never seen or ever implied to be in tf2's universe, through comics or any other source. Valve has stopped paying attention to the theming and aesthetic of tf2 long ago; take a look at the awful items they add every Christmas, without fail. This would fit in with those poor choices.

best executed arcade floor warpaint by far on the 'shop.

Also there have been numerous references, items etc added from the 70's-80's, even in the old days so I wouldn't say it's too far off from being ""accurate"" to the time.

MeatwadMeatwad, I mean like, the developers aren't really concerned about keeping TF2 accurate to the time period in which it is set. There are many other examples of items from the future in TF2 already anyway, such as millennial mercenary (self explanatory), and Jazzy, another war paint, is a design that was not created until the 90s.

Not to mention we don't even have teleporters yet!

Historical accuracy of... the future?

MeatwadMeatwad, Oh yeah, I forgot they care about historical accuracy, like Shakespeare's rocket launcher!

Not appropriate to the time period. I think I pointed this out in the original version but I believe that comment has since been deleted

MeatwadMeatwad, In what way does this war paint not belong?

It's well executed, but it still doesn't fix the core issue: It doesn't belong.

I think the solid purple ends up looking red on the blue team skin, but damn this is still the best version of this concept I've seen in a while, if not so far. the patterned area is excellent and nails the style

Best executed version of this idea

finally somebody nailed the colors
