A lot of people asked me to make The Royal pattern-based — like, different pattern IDs giving different gold tones or a small chance to drop rare Rose Gold.
But unfortunately, the Workshop doesn’t let me implement that idea properly. The skin ends up looking very different and loses the clean and elegant feel it has now.
So, instead I decided to take one of your other suggestions — a float-based color fade, where Factory New and Battle-Scarred have different tones of gold.
To help me choose the final direction, I’ve made two versions:
- Starts as Rose Gold in FN → fades into Classic Gold as wear increases
- Starts as Classic Gold in FN → fades into Rose Gold when worn
Would love to hear which version feels better to you — I’ll go with the one that fits The Royal philosophy best.
Thanks again for all the amazing feedback lately, it really helps a lot 🙏
p.s. I’m also planning a small follow-up poll soon — to decide whether The Royal should actually show wear and scratches, or keep its elegance and only change color. If that sounds interesting, stay tuned 👀
