May we please have a See Lower Layer Toggle in the Theme Menu?
for the whole dungeon or what
olive geyser
I would imagine it would have to affect the whole dungeon.

Sure but I don't know if that is a feasible workload task.

I think the dev has tried this kind of feature out some time ago and came to the conclusion that it wasn't helpful, beacuse it was kind of a visual mess.
elder ravine
Yep it looked very messy and wasn’t helpful at all
elder ravine
i suggest using the keyboard shortcuts to just quickly hop back and forth
R and F by default
lucid mirage
id like a feature like this too :D
dont know could be pink and at 50% opacity or something so that you know its a lower floor
lucid mirage
yeah guess i would like only toggle it on for a minute to make connects to the upper / lower floor
but yeah i can see that it isnt helpfull for like building in the long run
id still love it though :D
its like a feature that you toggle on when you need it
you may not need it all the time but when you need it then its nice to have
elder ravine
yea it was toggleable
but it looked very bad
it was just a visual mess
i couldnt get it to look right
tried all sorts of things
lucid mirage
hmmm bummer
olive geyser
but it looked very bad
I don't understand how it could look different than the normal floor gap. I imagine that doing the lower floor parallax would have been harder. But I don't know what your environment looks like. Since you are using unity I wonder if you are using a number of instantiated 2d grids, stacked on top of each other. I could see that making the current parallax look the way it does.
I, and a lot of others, don't like the way the parallax looks, especially in rooms that don't drop down. Instead of going through all the work of trying to add an extra layer to the sandwich, let's find a work around. Instead of a See Lower Layer Toggle, a new tile could be added. It would be a pit tile that doesn't show lower layers and doesn't transfer the player. It's effectively an bottomless pit.
There is a lot of people that want some kind of feature to let them draw pits without seeing the parallax. There is definitely space in the pallet table for another tile. It can have the theme background instead of the black background of the regular pit.
Thank you for your consideration.

so like, a setting to make the current floor transparency to 50-80% ish?
lucid mirage
what are we talking here ?
i thought we talking about a feature in maker mode where you can see lower or upper parts of the dungeon
so that you can plan multiple floor dungeon placement somewhat better
new tile sounds more like a gameplay feature

hey what abt if there's a hole u can have a setting to disable the parallax on the lower floor and show exactly what is under the hole
elder ravine
what are we talking here ?
i thought we talking about a feature in maker mode ...
OP talks about disabling floor parallax
cunning hamlet
i see
elder ravine
Which will not be implemented
cunning hamlet
is it too difficult to make it only work in the editor
elder ravine
What exactly?
elder ravine
It looks bad
cunning hamlet
i see
lucid mirage
OP talks about disabling floor parallax
oh okay :D ... i though he talks about like an overlay when you build so that you can see the lower or the floor above ... to make like better connects and stuff
elder ravine
Yea I thought so too lol
cunning hamlet
And you still only see tiles
i didn’t even consider that, makes a lot of sense
untold prism
yeah, i thought they meant a way to see the floor below in editor mode which tbh wouldnt be bad as it would let you line things up better
cunning hamlet
r and f keys work fine anyway
untold prism
Rise and Fall keys

I don't understand how it could look different than the normal floor gap. I imag...
Having a bottomless pit tile would be pretty useful, actually. I'm trying to make a multi-floor sky tower where you need to traverse the outside with the glider to ascend, and the fact that players can fall down to a lower floor has some unintentional side effects.
