Easter Theme (Aesthetics & Juice)

Overview

This skill provides the assets and logic to "Easter-fy" a game. It focuses on the

Classic Easter

aesthetic: bright pastels, bouncy animations, and egg/bunny iconography.

Core Components

1. Easter Palette Override (

easter_palette_override.gd

)

A runtime theme injector.

Behavior

Iterates through UI nodes and applies a pre-defined "Easter" color palette (Pink, Cyan, Yellow, Mint).

Use for

Instantly theming a menu or HUD without manually editing 50

StyleBoxFlat

resources.

2. Bouncy Egg Component (

bouncy_egg_component.gd

)

A physics/tween controller for "Egg-like" behavior.

Behavior

:

Physics

Apply a center-of-mass offset so it wobbles.

Visual

Apply a squash-and-stretch tween on impact.

Use for

Making collectibles feel like eggs rather than generic spheres.

3. Seasonal Material Swapper (

seasonal_material_swapper.gd

)

A manager for switching assets based on the season.

Behavior

Swaps

materials from a "Default" set to an "Easter" set (e.g., Crate -> Gift Box).

Use for

Non-destructive seasonal updates. Visual Guidelines Colors : Pink:

Cyan:

Shapes

Rounded corners (

corner_radius

> 8px). Avoid sharp edges.

VFX

Confetti, sparkles, and ribbons.

Best Practices

Don't Hardcode

Use the

SeasonalMaterialSwapper

so you can turn

off

Easter after April.

NEVER Modify Global Resources

Always

duplicate()

a StyleBox before changing its properties at runtime, or you will affect every node in the game using that style.

Juice

Easter is high-energy. Things should pop, bounce, and wiggle.
