@convictedweirdo Thanks a lot and yup Miko is still going :slight_smile:
Stopped for a while because of college and stuff but finally I have about 2 months to work on the game almost full time.

So I’ve been re-drawing a level to add more details and make it a lot more polished and also to combine static objects to increase performance by a lot, I finished just the basic art in the level, next I’ll add it in the engine, start coding and editing…

It’s sad though I’ll say that :smile:

Awesome… a new level is fully optimized in Miko Adventures!
.
Now to the fun part … POLISHING :star2:
Today I’m adding details to 3 levels to make them look cool and beautiful!

Here is a new screenshot showing a full comparison in one small section in a level…

To be honest, I like the less detail in the background better in the original image.
The problem is that I can’t really tell what is it that I can collide with and jump on top and things like that. Everything seems to be at the same level.
Could use some blur and shadow effect on things that supposed to be distant objects in the background and during gameplay some scrolling effect could be nice too imo :+1:

@ddabrahim Thanks a lot for your feedback, and yeah I 100% agree with your opinion, There will be another small edit in the colors for background that should make it distinct from the rest of the main platforms.

“and during gameplay some scrolling effect could be nice too”
I tried to add that but the performance gets affected by a lot … so I just removed it from the game, It looks cool but makes the game lag a lot and stuff like that…

Make that scrolling an option so persons with a good setup can enable it if they want.

@arthuro555 hmm… It’s not really in my plans atm, but maybe after release I will start thinking about it who knows. Thanks for the suggestion though, I like hearing ideas like that a lot.
