And that wasn't the latest version!  Anyway, I had though of using some extra effect for visibility, but that's up to Chris (I am not good at getting that sort of stuff done).

That sort of design looks like it could be quite cool if done from the top down, especially since that's largely the angle the player sees it from.

I was also thinking that angle would be good.

Aw, do we get to see what's on the other side if we zoom in close enough?

Not likely :D  (caveat, it's not up to me)

I feel like that graphic tinted green would be almost perfect.  ...I just realized that I am really attached to having the wormholes stay green, if at all possible...  xD

I'm right there with you.  I made a number of WIP wormholes that looked amazing but were oranges and reds... shifting them to green always made them look worse, but I just had to.  I think it will be possible to make a green one that looks good, in the end.
