Background Assets, Moving Platforms & the Final touches

Eventually Anton helped me out and we got it working #teamwork 🙂 Anyway, so since then ive been working on making my platforms move and positioning then in the correct positions (which has turned out to be a lot…

Environment Work

A lot of improvements have been made. My wifi has been down so I haven’t been able to update my blog. Ive added in new assets such as mushrooms, ice creams and low opacity mountains / images. These things have really brought the world to life and given it more depth in the scene. I’ve…
