Summary0004072: Mob visibility suggestion
DescriptionI notice a fluctuating 1-pixel grey outline around the PC. I think a similar 1-pixel solid red outline around hostile monsters would go a long way to making them more visible against similar colored-backgrounds (e.g. skelebots in snowstorms, dwarf skelebots against the modern house backgrounds).

Honestly, I think it's better if the mobs are sometimes hard to see, especially in windstorms and the like. Having your character be visible is one things, but having enemies leap off the screen at you is another.

Perhaps the outline only shows up when you're not in a windstorm area? Gives more reason to get that shelter up. Or perhaps add a spell scroll to highlight enemies, 'perception' or some such thing, but then make it unusable in wind storms?

I'm not keen on the idea of a consumable that isn't usable in a windstorm. To me, the idea of spending in-game resources for gameplay advantages like visibility and such should not be restricted much if at all.

Maybe they have no outline in windstorms or darkness unless you cast a "preception" spell, otherwise they do.

Dwarf Skelebots do need a big improvement in visibility.
