Fireball...or Magic Missile?
There are just some times when everything shifts under foot, and if you stand back and take it all in objectively, you can see and appreciate the winds of change. I'm currently in the midst of a deluge of these changes, and some directly affect my work. A great example are the mechanics changes we've made and applied to Fireball. Since we're no longer launching a ball of fire, we can't really justify keeping the name - no matter how attached I am. Will aptly renamed our project "Magic Missile", and it provides a solid metaphor for our changes as a whole. Not completely different, but more versatile.
Game Jam!
UAT is holding a Game Jam this weekend, and so I've taken the opportunity to camp out with the jammers and work on Fireball...er, Magic Missile. I'm not competing this time around (most Game Jam games don't need level designers anyways) but I'm helping the teams that are using Unity 3D whenever they have a particular question. This gives me a chance to work in an environment away from everything, and I'm finally feeling like I'm getting back into the swing of things.

Labyrinth Updates
I've finished testing out the world space for my level, and have begun a preliminary pass on lighting. I've received feedback that the Vaults were
too dark, and so I've made conscious efforts to both increase the ambient lighting and add more point-based lights. Here are a few screens to show off the progress.

Sometimes a bored longtime vendor gets in a groove and releases the ball at precisely the same 먹튀사이트 먹튀프렌즈 angle and velocity practically every time. A very small number of gamers can spot what numbers are passing as the vendor releases the ball. With that knowledge, they will predict at a better-than-chance price roughly the place the ball will fall. The player then either bets or indicators a companion to wager accordingly. Because the next player to use the same color chips could designate a unique value, roulette chips don't have any value away from the roulette wheel. When prepared to depart the table, place all remaining roulette chips on the structure and ask the vendor to cash out.
