Hey guys, I just wanted to talk a bit about this hat and why I made the initial call to not make it paintable.

So, what does this mean?

See, the main problem is that the slime is the prominent feature of this item. Which means that when you look at this item, you're going to think "oh hey, I can paint the slime!" The problem, of course, is the people with brown and white paint who want to make this a cauldron of either ♥♥♥♥ or ♥♥♥♥. Even the yellow might be pushing it a bit, but we have Jarate, so that's not as much of an issue.

What about painting the cauldron?

Yes, I could make the cauldron paintable. However, I don't want to put this item out there and make people think you can paint the slime when it's only the cauldron you can paint. I feel like that'd be a really cheap bait-n-switch.

So what alternatives can I come up with?

Well, I'm opening this thread up to you guys to get some feedback. Maybe I'll upload a new version with a paintable cauldron. Maybe I'll cave and let you guys paint the slime (with provisions, of course). What I was even thinking of was to add ~PAINT STYLES~ to the bucket.

Paint styles, you say?

If I can't let you guys paint it with whatever colors you want, maybe I can include a bunch of styles that explicitly repaint the slime for you, with pre-approved colors. We have green right now; I was thinking of adding an orange, a purple, and a team-color slime to the mix. With that, I'll also probably make the entire cauldron itself paintable. But I wanted to get your thoughts first.



TL;DR: currently debating on reuploading with paintability, don't want to make the slime paintable unless yall make enough noise about it, thinking about giving you guys painted styles so we can limit the inappropriate colors.
