A playtester thought my clouds were a UFO invasion

Every sailing game needs weather, so clouds went on the to-do list early. The low-poly cloud models from my asset library looked charming and poofy from ground level.

Fleet Tycoon, however, is a top-down strategy game, and from above, those same models looked like jagged, angular messes hurtling across the map. It wasn't a priority, so it stayed on the backlog...

Until one playtester asked, completely sincerely: "Are we being attacked by UFOs?" The clouds were replaced the same day. Sometimes a single sentence of feedback accomplishes what months of procrastination couldn't.

Do you think these clouds look less like UFOs? ːsteammockingː
