Oh another question: How does water behaves if the parralax scrolling background is black, like night time, for example?

Well, the background outside of the water can only be gray or white. Underwater, it is black and gray. So a fully gray background would make the water look black.

Oh ok, would it be easy to implement night backgrounds, though?

I personally think those get in the way too much, which is why I made only gray+white backgrounds. You can have a gray sky and white clouds, which might have a similar effect.

Aaah I guess that's gonna be the only way. I guess it could still have a nice effect if you added some white stars in the backgrounds.

EDIT: not tile based but some sort of mockup (I guess adding some mario star powerup sprites inverted could also help, too, since in SMB3 the sky had them)

Ok, so I know this is completely pointless but I've been on a bit of a emoticon spree over at DeviantArt and saw this one that is Mario related. Thought I'd share it here before my real post (feel free to delete this part if you would like, I'd understand).


Ok, on a more serious note. I actually like that gray one better, it just makes it seem more "night-time-like." Just looks cool :)

lol weird emoticon o.o

My only worry about gray bg is that the blurring may make things look horrible when objects are moving or during scrolling, like GBC games with gray backgrounds in Ndless.

Well, if a BG is mostly gray it should look a lot like the water, which currently looks pretty great.

Oh you know you love the emoticon :P And ya, the water is pretty sweet. This is being discussed about night and day scenes, right?

really? I guess it's good to hear, then. Plus the water would be black anyway

Yeah night and day. I wonder if the final version will have an editor letting you either change or edit the background?

Hard to say. There are still a ton more features I'd like to add, plus things like the level editor
