Apologies I hadn’t been posting on the forums lately. I don’t even know when was the last I had been able to upload something. I had been busy lately working on the new VFX for the weather system. But since some people had been curious to see more of the new stuff floating around, I’ve decided to make a post on it.
Elemental Atmosphere VFX
Weathers/effects that will appear on elemental worlds. The ‘in your face’ aspect is deliberate in that it is meant to debilitate players (and ultimately kill them) when venturing into worlds without the right atmospheric protection.
Yeah but i hoped it wont be that severely blocked with skills learned or maybe its the near death state ? the lower HP u have the more blocked the screen is?
I think these are animations for you getting damage and being defeated. With atmosphere skills it will probably be scaled down.
That’s how I understand what has been said here.
wowza! awesome effects! So for the elemental stuff… are they constant or intermittent? Would there be a way to “take cover” so to speak to wait them out / recover from their effects?
It would add an interesting survival mechanic to be able to hide in a cave or building for shelter from severe storms ^^
Wow, nice job with these! I especially love the first four ambient weather effects, as well as the other fire-themed ones throughout the post. I’ve added all these to the Dev Art archive! (It’s going to be a while until I actually get this thing updated into a more friendly format)
I think this might be a first for me but I gotta be honest and say those don’t look very good. They have no depth to them. They all look like some sort of splash screen or overlay. Maybe it’s because I’m viewing them on my phone but they just don’t look integrated in. Love the idea though and fully support its progression.
Strike that!!! Reverse it!!! Just viewed them on my computer and most of them look great…although some are still overlayish.
