The idea is as follows:
A mechanism that generates visual natural events (initially without physical interaction with the player, as this could be a complex idea to implement in the game) for greater immersion in the maps, such as:
- sand/air storms (allowing for variations in visual aspects to better suit each creator’s taste)
- fires/flames and their variations
- whirlpools/water waves
These “events” could be a type of logic or mechanic, where the creator could choose which one to add to a certain region of their creation, thus generating the desired visual effect for a specific area.
I believe this would be a great addition to enhance immersion in certain types of games where the appearance of these events would be appealing, such as a “Natural Disaster” game or even an “MMORPG” style map, where these visual styles are common and create a positive feeling that encourages players to venture into that map. It would also help us, the game builders, to create stunning game environments. Note: Please ignore my artwork depicting this idea. I’m just a builder; I don’t have much skill with drawing.
