Wind-up Moon Minion

[Emstidor]

The wind-up Sun/Moon are "special" minions in that they're more meant to be screenshot tools. Before /gpose added easily customizable light sources, Wind-up Sun was the only way to create an additional, height-adjustable extra light source for screenshots. It's also why they don't follow you and why they are the only minions to disappear when you hide the HUD.

Moon may not be named super literally, but it's meant to be a softer light equivalent to Sun (which moonlight is), so I struggle to think what other name would've worked.

To be fair, alchemically, the sun and moon is often a shared symbol (wherein the crescent is tucked into the sun). You could argue you're still seeing the moon even with the sun shape, just that its luminosity is now the dominant.



Sure, doesn't pass off the quick re-colour/new lighting rig cross over, but is anyone really surprised?

Logically you aren't wrong, but practically speaking how many people will look at it and say, "oh, this is alchemically correct." instead of making a snarky remark?

I understand, but the minion teams has been making high quality work all this time so I can't help but feel that they fall short on this one. I'm no 3D modelling expert, but if they find making a crescent shape difficult (maybe the lighting effect), surely they can make a sphere shape without the heatwaves?

It can be a moon if you BELIEEEEEEEEEVVVEEEEEE hard enough.
