🌅Outside maps backgrounds

Opened this issue · 0 comments

I think it'd be good for the outside maps to have different background, not only dark tiles.
Just sky blue, or orange color gradients are enough I think, and a welcome change apart from usual caves.

So definitely for first 2 desert maps.
Later Tomb and Pyramid should have their backgrounds inside, but outside could be also with sky.

As for code I'm thinking of some shader that would create a sky with sun background by itself.
Or just some textures of such skies, maybe some blurred clouds placed and added.
I'd prefer a shader, since this could be in code and developed by us, to give various gradients, e.g. greenish for jungles. Could have many parameters/uniforms for editor to adjust.

For extra originality: maybe some blurred big trees (jungle theme) or mountains (rock,ice), dunes (desert) etc.
I'm guessing not too difficult to draw or could use openclipart or opengameart assets, if any fit at all, or well AI stuff. Not idea about resolution yet.
