Hensen Hopper

Very small change, but I added a darker-green border to the edge where the grass meets the dirt. I think this gives a bit more definition to the transition between the two zones.

I spent a really long time on this, I've been here since literally 3 in the morning (it's 7AM as I type) but I really like how it came out!!! The backdrop I had done before didn't feel like it fit with the aesthetic so I re-did it completely.

I've been kind of inactive for the last two days. I've been really busy at work these last two days and I'll also be working tomorrow. I'm going to try to work on the main scene backdrop some more tomorrow after I get home.

It's unfinished but the backbone of "The Garden" is now visible in the main scene! I want to add a lot more to this backdrop later today and over the coming week.

I'm gonna try to draw a backdrop image for the main scene. I have an idea in my mind for how I want it to look so I'm just gonna follow that and go from there.

Guess who's home from work! I want to explain in more detail the challenge the backdrop idea posed, how I initially had solved it and how I'm solving it NOW.

Just got back from work! Wanna make this quick. I ended up applying polymorphism, again. I turned the backdrop script I had into an abstract class and made UI and sprite-based adaptations of that. I'll explain in more detail after work tomorrow!

I'm going to set myself a goal to release the first beta/demo of Hensen Hopper by the end of this year. I'm going to try to use static backdrop images rather than tiles for the backgrounds in this game, which presents a bit of a challenge in one aspect...

Been working on the visuals for the settings menu! I had the idea at the last minute to have the volume slider knobs each be different colored flowers which I think looks really cool. I left some space below them for extra options I may add in later.

I have created a functional settings menu! I definitely want to spend some more time on the artwork for it but for now I'm satisfied. Everything seems to be working as it should.
