positive reinforcement visuals

Hello!
lately I was doing minor changes to the default skin argon pro, searching for some more visual interactivity.

Here i used "DefaultKeyCounterDisplay" resizing it and hiding the body in a way that the player only sees the glow.

with this I was wondering if it's possible to do a add a similar thing, but covering all the border (like the red low health coloring). I tried to use the object glow but the result is way too disrupting...

it would be cool to add a feature like this, a slight glow that follows the player clicks.

As a side complementing idea, adding a functionality that makes this visual starting to change reflecting something happening in the gameplay (high combo count for example). I imagine something like stars popping from the sides, falling or sparkling faintly when the combo counter is raising enough.

edit: I'm still worried about this being distracting for players, maybe the best way is to add this feature as one side resizable flash object, toggleable to BPM/L-R click. with this, any player can use it and adapt it to their taste.

I hope this idea makes sense for you, I really really love the argon skin and its new sound/visual features!

cheers from Chile,

How about making something like BPM Glow? It would behave like in title screen and showing flashes on the sides. It could also turn on the kiais only, so it wouldn't annoy people much

Ohh, yeah, I forgot about the title screen flashing. that's the exact effect I was looking for (still a bit too bright tbh)
about bpm glow, isn't that already a feature with the objects glowing in kiai sections? I think that having direct interactivity with the flashes would be a lot better, since my original idea is to do some clicks and receive visual feedback.

Hm, maybe? But I'd like it to be depended on BPM, because it'll have more constant and less annoying flash

I understand, I've just edited the post adding a alternative idea

The argon skin was implemented with zero thought to animation and polish. This will definitely come with time.

Got it! Since I'm not experienced with visual development, I'll patiently wait for the incoming updates, Thanks for the clarification!
