But yea I love the idea of the glowing forest! That would be so frikken cool and be a great demo of the engine!!

Why isn't this in the IDEA thread?

I actually like this idea on some of the more vegetative areas.
I swear to god though if they use high polycounts on the foliage I will bust a nut. 2d leaves are FINE WITH ME.

Hey, that's kinda funny!

I was playing Skyrim just 5 minutes ago, and I was exploring a huge cave named Blackreach for the first time, which is lit by giant luminescent mushrooms, and it just looks fantastic.

Just look at that...

Isn't that gorgeous?

Now imagine it in a more Planetsidesque style, with tracers and lasers all over the place...

I'd like that!

I thought busting a nut was a good thing?

Can we also have environmental toxins seeping out from the mushrooms?

Vanu + bioluminescence + LSD + massive firefight = awesome!

Get me out of here, the bullets are trying to recruit me to NC!!

Too OP. Vanu will blend in better because they glow

Bags · 2012-03-05, 09:17 PM

I'd be okay with this.

Nope.
As seen in the skyrim post, bioluminescence is awesome. Higby mentioned creating more planets, and I'm pretty sure a jungle planet idea was thrown out.

actually I really like this idea too, I do cave scuba diving sometimes which is great fun but what really makes it amazing is when you're in the cave at night we wave the under water flash lights around for awhile then switch them all off and watch all the bio luminescence plants light up the place. They don't give off bright light just a gentle back glow

Looks amazing tho

If its done in a subtle fashion im all for it.

Maybe they could create a small area on a continent that's only captureable at night. There wouldn't be any weapons allowed in this area, just two glowstick dispensers and a dance floor. At regular intervals (after an appropriate amount of You can't beat me! and Not likely! from both sides) rave music would start playing. Everyone would equip their glowsticks and start /em cabbagepatching, the winner is the side that cabbagepatches the hardest! But instead of winning resources or territory the victors would win the ability to use the FABULOUS!! voice macro.

interesting concept ;-)

the trees we saw on the first gdc screenshots could easily sport bioluminescence! they got that avatar-like genitalia hanging down. and if a soldier does too much cabbagepatching underneath with glowsticks he is in danger of getting raped by the tree because the trees just don´t know that a "v" is not a "p".
