More work being done on the jungle background overhaul!
I'm wrapping up all the sketches I made, tossing stuff I don't want and refining the pieces that will make it into the game.
I'm also preparing everything by moving the finished pieces from the mockup (basically a fake screenshot I have been working on) onto something called a sprite sheet to make it ready for the engine.
I do a rough outline of the new starting area and make a plan on how everything will connect:
And then slowly build up the rooms inside the engine like this:
This is just me testing out the auto-tiling in concert with the decorations and decals and experimenting with what goes well together, etc! ^w^
It was really exciting to see everything coming together! And the new workflow is much faster than the previous one, where I had to manually choose the right edges, corners, etc. when building the levels!
Cheers!
