Level backgrounds

Post by Seth »

I can't easily tell if this has been suggested before...it's likely the developers already have this in mind, but I could not find a topic dedicated to this, so hopefully I am not doing anything wrong...

Anyway! I would like to know if the developers were planning on including more background art for the levels, since many of them (except the G'nomish level) have a black void as the background, looking unfinished. I suppose outdoor maps could have mountainous walls, cramped forests, or tall hills for backgrounds. Caves and some palaces could use rubble as background art, as some examples. It could also be different in some spots, rather than, I suppose, a looping tile. This would be a good art opportunity and the "invisible walls" will feel more appropriate.
Of course, it does not have to be completed as soon a possible.

Any comments?

:agree:

Though I think the G'nome starter had a background at one point.

Background is difficult to add so that it looks nice. It will always look like its far away down and look like it's moving whenever you move around in the level.
