Weekly Roundup - Week 2 - More jungle overhaul progress! (Patreon)

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!
