Class 53

Today I worked on making the background bigger. I had to resize the background because Justin and I agreed that it didn't really fit well withen the game, however we never saw what it looked like parallax scrolling. So who knows, maybe it would have worked, but eithet way we now have a new background thats incredibly big. The way I made it bigger is I just took my old image and copied bits and pieces from it, I repeated the process until I had a whole screen of buildings that didn't look copied and pasted. Then I repeat that annoying process 2 more times making the 3 layers of buildings. I also began some minor work on adding the mountains to the background, this process is a little more complicated because I drew the mountains into the last picture, but drawing with a mouse if great distances doesn't turn out very well. So next class I will finish up the mountains and the sky and then hopefully it will be big enough for the game. Me and Howie also discussed his music, I told him about how he could make it more atmospheric and ambient by removing a recurring drum, it sounds good, but it just seemed to throw off the ambience a little, the drums where making it more of a "song" song rather then a ambient song.
