I'm not completely new to Unity, but I just found lighting to be really irritating since this is the first time I'm experimenting with it, because no matter what I change in the lighting tab, everything looks like it has a piss filter.

Anyway here's the Lighting window for the scene

and heres what the scene looks like.

I really just don't know what the problem is anymore. You can ask me for more info in order to help me out properly I just don't know what else you would need. I guess the main problem is light objects (or whatever) not working as lights properly (they're all directional), it might be because its taking in more indirect lighting than direct.

I'd also be happy with a good tutorial to help me fix something like this. I just don't even really know how to reverse it since I've fucked around too much.

I like the irony of Carol telling Diabate "I hate to use a cliche, but you might want to sit down", but ends up sitting down herself, in awe of how he carelessly describes the hive eating humans as 'troubling'. Also, correct me if I'm wrong on this being irony, but it sounds like it

Not only do the songs fit the whole eerie sci-fi vibe of the show, but it fascinates me how the lyrics or context of the song fit the scenes as well. Let me break some of them down.

Cogito by Akusmi -

This one's nothing too special, it plays over the hive restocking the Sprouts for Carol but it works pretty well because the song also slowly builds up, but not in a suspenseful way, so it fits the scene.

Esperanza by Hermanos Gutiérrez -

This work of art feels so human, which is why it plays for 5 minutes to not only showcase the long journey of Manousos, but it also slowly let's us understand the character and just how far he's willing to go in order to be a HUMAN human and not just another minion of a psychotic society.

You've Got Another Thing Comin' by Judas Priest -

This ironically plays when Carol is breaking windows with golf balls. Just listen to the lyrics:

"If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by,

You're thinking like a fool cause it's a case of do or die"

"If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain

Listen, I ain't foolin', and you'd better think again"

"You've got another thing coming"

She's doing quite the opposite of this. The You've got another thing coming line sounds like a threat to the hive, and some of the other lines describe Carols situation, she's sitting around as the world goes by, and as the hive are working on chipping away her brain. But i think her playing this song is telling us that shes lying to herself, and pretending she's doing the best she can, even though she's procrastinating. I know there's not a whole lot she can do, but I'm more so talking about her mental state, pretending like she doesn't miss human connection.

You Got To Be Sure! by Traffic Sound

This song plays at the end of Charm Offensive (S01 E08), with Carol already fallen for the hive, and Manousos close to his destination (Carols house). It plays almost as an excuse Carol might bring up in conversation with Manousos for becoming depended on the hive.

"I've been trying so hard to make it on my own"

Conquistadora by Chantal Claret

Plays after the final scene of season 1. I don't think its supposed to fit the scene, but the main element of the show, the hive. The title also translates to Conqueror in Spanish in the feminine form (Im not sure if 'form' is the right word to use so correct me if im wrong).

"Standing on the banks, looking out across the sea

I saw a distant land, and it called, it called to me

Saying you're the best I've ever had"

Here I think the sea is the vastness of space, (this might be a reach) except the sea is blue, the color that represents the hive, so almost like the hive is looking out beyond their territory to look for anything it hasn't conquered, but they have an excuse, because they believe theyre doing whats best for all, like earth is calling out and saying we need the hive or 'Saying youre the best I've ever had'.

' I conquer all I see, now you belong to me'

Literally the hives highest priority.

'Once I was a child with the taste for total power

I cleared away the paths, so consumed by my desire

And I'll always will be about of who I did

For my last is something I'll never hear'

I feel like if we get backstory of the hive, it will somewhat fit into this, maybe the first person the virus effected was a child, who knows.
