TL;DR

I'd like the top edges of cliffs to be shaded and/or feature gravel, cracked earth etc.

What ?

Since we're in the "polishing" stage of development I think the cliff graphics could use a little tweak. The illusion of depth is let down a little by the stark edge of the cliff-tops against the terrain behind, leading them to often look more like big grey fences/barricades sticking out of the ground than surfaces connected to the earth on both sides.

I made a quick edit to the spritesheet to demonstrate, I probably should have chosen a dusty stone colour rather than ashy black, to be clear this wasn't just a shadow. But here we are.

Why ?

Immersion, aesthetics, the norm. But I expect the development costs would be quite modest.
