Visual Effects

I got excited when Tig said Transformice will have Sound FX. In my imagination, I found some beautiful stuff that could be used as a visual enchantment for the game, since it'll have sound.

Animated Backgrounds
In this meantime, backgrounds could have some "motion", to make the game more exciting, even if they are simple, they could be mixed with the sound, adding animation and making the game more beautiful, I'll explain what I think about each background.

Daylight
• Motion: Dynamic clouds, some birds, a sun could appear in the upper part of the background.
• Sounds: The sounds of birds, maybe some nature sounds.

Dawn
• Motion: Dynamic clouds, sun could slowly rise, background color change.
• Sounds: Maybe a rooster crowing, some birds and wind

Twilight
• Motion: Dynamic clouds, sun could fade slowly, the map could get darker with time
• Sounds: Birds, crickets (they start when the sun is already faded).

Full Moon
• Motion: Dynamic clouds, moving moon
• Sounds: Crickets and wind

Halloween
• Motion: Maybe some ghosts moving arround the sky, moving clouds and moon
• Sounds: Some whispers, screams and some suspense effects

Valentine's Day
• Motion: Hearts all arround the map, a shiny sun and a better look for the last part, maybe with some background mice
• Sounds: Some yumyum from mice, popping sound of hearts and some environment sounds

Christmas
• Motion: Snow, a Santa moving arround the background, moving trees with wind
• Sounds: Bells, wind, some Hohoho when the Santa appears

Storm Clouds
• Motion: Moving clouds, gales, some flashs, light rain
• Sounds: Low Thunders, howling wind, falling water sound

Storm Clouds 2
• Motion: Moving clouds, lighings, flashs, heavy rain, maybe some tornadoes (with rare appearing)
• Sounds: Thunderclaps, rain, ferocious wind

New Backgrounds
They are landscape, it means it'll work among with the other background, they will just be an aditional layer

Beach
• Description: A beach with maybe some beachhouses in the side
• Motion: Water going and coming, some splashs, seaguls, maybe a ship sillhouete in the horizon
• Sounds: Normal beach sounds, seaguls [size=1](reggae)

Mountains
• Description: Top of mountains, with mist and clouds
• Motion: Moving clouds and mist, sky changes like before
• Sounds: Wind, a calm song

Caverns
• Description: A cavern with some crystals and dropping water through stalactites
• Motion: Shining crystals, water dropping, some shadows
• Sounds: Some sounds that seem with Minecraft's Ambience, some steps, falling water

Rainforest
• Description: A dense forest, with lots of trees
• Motion: Shadows through the trees, maybe some birds and falling leaves
• Sounds: Steps in leaves, bird sounds

Hill
• Description: Hills, just like Windows wallpaper lol
• Motion: Moving sky, some birds
• Sounds: Bird sounds, idk what more

Serial Backgrounds
A system that could work this way: Each map will have a background, the background will flow the natural order, the first map will have the Dawn background, the second Daylight, the third Twilight, the fourth Full Moon, then the cycle will restart

The other backgrounds could be special:

• Halloween: Randomly appears in Halloween eve
• Christmas: Randomly appears in Chirstmas eve
• Storm clouds: see suggestion below.

Weather
The game could have the weather system, the weathers could be:

• Calm Before the Storm: A clean sky background, with few clouds, a grey tone
• Light Rain: Light rain, some light winds, could work among the Storm Clouds background
• Heavy Rain: Heavy rain, lightning, thunderclaps, wind, could work among the Storm Clouds 2 background
• Tornado: A rare event, lighting, wind, heavy rain, dark map, a tornado that could lift mice.
• Snow: Falling snow, happens when the game gets a really cold weather, rare event, stays in the rotation for about 5 turns
• Mist: A mist appear in front of mice

OBSERVATION
The wind in the maps could have a really low value like 1 for light rain, 3 for heavy, 5 for tornado, the wind could just affect midair stuff.

So yeah, this is my suggestion, I hope you like it and it could be really amazing if it get added to the game!

this is really cute, and when i read about the hills, i imagined little tfm mice walking around on the windows backround.

/support, aslong as the Effects are optional in map editor

I support as long as this doesn't create too much lag.

Aleeeeeh a dit :
I support as long as this doesn't create too much lag.

For this Tig could add commands: /effect and /sound, it would enable/disable the sounds/effects
