More sneakum peakums! This time it's Wagner Mars Base, along with original music from our most excellent composer. We think this is looking really cool, and hope you like it!

Direct YouTube link!

Was the fire for a card effect, like adding Fire in the Biosphere puts a fire in the background?  Because that would be amazingly cool.

One of the reasons we wanted to do 3D environments was so that we could have little "moments" when cards are played. It's doubtful we'll manage to do that for the initial launch, but it's something we might be able to get into an update. In any case, the biosphere isn't a safe place to be =)

Suggestion, make them appear one out of 10 (or 20 or whatever) times, having it trigger everytime makes the novelty wear thin very quickly.

That looks amazing!

While I wasn't the biggest fan of the 3D dinosaurs and trees and such, this one really works. Perhaps because despite it's 3D-ness it somehow looks a little "flatter" and smoother.

And I like the music too, even if it will get turned off after a few minutes when I buy the app. ;)

I've spent some time with the 3D backgrounds in the game itself, and I can report that they feel appropriately background-ey to me.  The cards are definitely the focus of your attention while playing.

Sure. But from the Insula Primalis video, I know I'd have trouble with that. Can't say for sure yet until I've seen a game in play on this one, but it seems like it'll be less distracting for me.

I do struggle to maintain my focus (blame a chronic pain condition and associated mental fatigue), so there's that.
