Back to the back...grounds - Week #15

July 17-23, 2022

This week I went back to polishing the backgrounds.

While I was aiming for around 60% polish and details for the alpha, for the beta I'm aiming for 95%-100%, so I might still polish some of it for the final release, but it's mostly final.

I started with the bedroom scene and I considered this one finished for the beta.

• Removed all black outlines and the majority of the outlines all together.
• Polished details on: bed, closet, computer, poster, studying desk, air fan.
• Added some smudges on the walls on the floor.
• Updated door and rug designs.
• Added PC speakers.

Next I added some animations to the pelican in the beach scene and also added hotspots for it and the crows. This one is also considered finished.

I worked on the park scene, this one is almost finished, I'm still not pleased with the bushes, though I might come back to it later, when I'll gain more skills.

• Updated sidewalk and grass.
• Polished sandbox and slide house.
• Added cars to the background layer.
• Worked some on the trees and bushes.
• I also drew a guy walking his dog for the background grass layer, but it's not animated yet.

I worked on the house hall scene, this one still needs more work and details.

• Polished details on: Mikey's picture, fridge, fan, kitchen sink, toaster, hat.
• Removed black outlines.
• Added smudges on walls and floor.
• Added texture to doors.
• Added phone line cord.

Lastly, we got this new little fella, wandering around the beach.
