background art #20

Closed 7yl4r closed 9 years ago

7yl4r commented 9 years ago

art for the background of the traveling screen. These need to keep a relatively consistent art style, since this art scrolls by behind @JrodManU's sprites as the player moves between locations. Don't forget to ask: Does it blend? =P

I think we want a set height of either 400 or 600px, and we'll make them VERY wide... Ideally scaled to distance between locations... although, this is very hard to figure out until we have locations set. Perhaps it is better to do this as a set of interlocking tiles which we can stack. Like so:

[earth->space tile] + [space tile]x3 + [space->moon tile] + [inverted space->moon tile] + [space tile]x10

We might want to include multiple layers traveling and different speeds for a parallax effect. For multiple layers traversing at different speeds, the setup is the same, but layers which move faster must have bigger tiles.

[slow earth tile w=10] + [slow tile space w=10]
[fast earth tile w=20] + [fast tile space w=20]

Does that make sense?

Just to clarify that means, earth, moon, mars, ceres, maybe other asteroids, jupiter, and europa to be drawn.

The more I think the more I like this new plan. We could work in a lot more about asteroids this way, and have the player go through several asteroid-stations to stock up before a science mission to Europa.
