Improve update: Skyboxes, Atmosphere & Juicy Rolls !
A changelist for Mage Mystery.
🎁 Added
- Dynamic Skyboxes: The 3D skybox now changes automatically based on the island you are visiting! Enjoy bright day skies in the Sylvan Orchard and Shifting Sands, golden mornings in the Sunken Shoals, starry nights in Frostbound Peaks and Volcanic Forge, and green alien horizons in the Swamps of Decay.
- Unique Island Roll Overlays: The slot machine reels now feature visual roll overlays that match the color theme of each of the 7 islands (e.g. fiery red glow and flash for Volcanic Forge, toxic green for Swamps, and cosmic purple for the Astral Plane).
🧼 Improved
- Transparent UI Backdrops: Removed the solid dark violet backdrops from the World Selection menu and the Game HUD, letting the 3D world and skybox show behind your cards and slots.
- Roll Camera Speed Blur: The 3D camera now stretches with a temporary motion blur aberration effect while the reels are spinning, giving your rolls high visual speed.
- Juicy Grid Physics: Added a continuous grid shake animation during slot rolls, followed by a heavy recoil bounce when the spin stops to maximize impact.
- Volcanic & Astral Atmospheres: Greatly enhanced the post-processing effects of the Volcanic Forge (heavy heat glow and lava vignettes) and the Astral Plane (extreme reality-warping aberration and cosmic nebula vignettes).
- Hitch-Free Skybox Loading: Preloaded skybox assets in the scene file to prevent any frame drops or freezes when switching between islands.
