Better Bullets

TLDR: Reworks bullets into shorter projectiles. No more long streaks of bullets, except chlorophyte (Read Below).


The fine print:

• Silver bullets are now actually silver. But the sparkling sprite on bullet impact is not affected.
• Musket bullets are now powder colored with a red/orange tip.
• Tungsten bullets use the same texture as musket bullets, so they share the same color.
• Chlorophyte bullets are shorter but still have the green, long 'homing streak' behind the actual bullet. I've looked through thousands of textures looking for this streak and i conclude that it is not an actual texture, rather something hardcoded. Nothing i can do about this.
• Crystal bullets were brightened and recolored to match the 'crystal' theme. The bullet impacts (shards) were also recolored to match the bullets.
• High velocity bullets are now shorter and as a result, you will barely see them because, well. they ARE high velocity!
• Ichor, Cursed, Exploding, Golden, Meteor, Nano and Venom bullets have been shortened and brightened.
• Luminite bullets were a pain in my backend. They are now short and give off the feeling of high velocity.


Notes:

• The quality of the gifs makes the bullets appear a bit washed out, they will look better once you're in-game.
• All bullets have been reworked. You can look through the gifs to see them for yourself.
• The textures are actually 2 pixels wide, which means there's only so much one can do.
• The way bullet textures work is simple: The closer the sprite is to the edge of the screen, the brighter the bullet will be. This means that the game itself darkens some of the bullets when they are close to the weapon, but this is not true for all bullets. As a result, some bullets will appear a tiny bit more 'vivid' than others. The luminite bullet is an extreme example of this.
• I thought about doing all bullets even shorter, but i came to the conclusion that, past a certain size, you're really only seeing tiny flicks of pixels flying across the screen, and i feel like it starts to disrupt the gameplay, so i left them with just a little trail.
• Fun fact: Took me longer to record and create the gifs than what it took me to rework the textures.

Hope you like them!
