Effects start at 0:50
Updated the combat of my game a little bit and added screen effects when player is on low HP. Dirt appears on the screen (not blood because it doesn’t make much sense with skeletons + roblox TOS goes brrr), slow heartbeat starts and everything goes black and white.

Currently its available only on PC. Mobile support may be added in future updates, but its not the priority. Nearest update will add spears + shields, Spartan customization items and 2 new maps.

A couple of thoughts on somethings you could try:
- It might relate better to the health if the overlay was slightly red (ie the blood in your eyes)
- Try adding a tween in between transparency levels to make it get dark/lighter over a second or so, otherwise the transition seems a bit instant (especially the recovery)
- You could consider making the overlay seem more like the blood vessels in the back of your retina
But great job!

Thank You for the feedback!
I do agree, but as I explained in the main post, those are skeletons, so I’m not sure if it would make much sense to make it blood.
Done!
Its AWESOME! Gives a professional horror game touch… Sorry if looks a bit strange, but it looks like a bit.

Isnt the effect when you get hurt not the skeletons? In which case blood is appropriate.
I know you need to be careful around blood, although roblox by default adds a red hurt flash. I guess its how realistic it looks.
It is the skeletons, it’s just Im not sure if skeletons would bleed. + yes, the main issue is still Roblox TOS, I’d rather not risk the whole game because of one effect.
I did like the vessels idea, I could make them black and it couldn’t be considered inappropriate by any stretch of imagination. I just didn’t find any vessel screen effects in toolbox, I’ll upload my own later.
Maybe I’ve got the wrong end of the stick. So are you (yourself) a skeleton? If so, then what youve got is probably best (and not the blood vessels in the eye, skeletons don’t have eyes).
Also, if you’re a skeleton yourself, would there be a heart beat sound when your health is low?
Not trying to pick holes in your approach, its cracking. Just trying ti look at ways you might make the experience feel even more immersive.

Yes, all the players are skeletons.
You are right, but it’s a quadruple edged sword. If you’re a skeleton, you wouldn’t be running with a sword, shouting battlecries xDDD.
At the end of the day the biggest reason of not making it straight up blood is not risking to mess with Roblox TOS
