Ladies of Thunder much? ;3
Just a thing, a couple of extra tiles to make it look nicer would be very welcome! Something kinda like this:
The tiles are just in the wrong order. This is how they were designed to be arranged:
And although that particular short stretch is literally the plainest scene in the stage, those specific tiles and the lowest number of unique shades are used to squeeze in dual layer parallax with shading. You can see what it looks like in motion at the 22 second mark in this video:
If everything makes it into the Gods of Lightning stage as planned, there should be around 8 different scenes/types of parallax and only brief periods when none is currently happening. There are also at least as many unique scenes visually, while many popular PCE shooters only have have a single type of scene used for an entire stage. In order to potentially pack in that much variety, things were streamlined considerably from what I had originally planned and assets are reused in different ways as much as possible.
So you can point out little additions that could be added to any particular scene out of context, but there are reasons for why things were designed the way they were. I'm still expecting cuts to happen and am just hoping for a good balance in the end.
