Today is the last day for our group project of the game. Everyone has worked really hard up towards the end of this semester for the project and I'm happy with how the game has turned out. We still have a few more things to add which I think Taylor will try do tonight. I'm keen to play the game!!
Team Sprout..BREAK! :D

Finished Background!
I've finished the backgrounds for Team Sprout! I reached my goal which was too have the backgrounds finished by today. I had a lot of problems trying to connect my cintiq, but I still managed to finish quite early today. I had fun painting the trees even if they did take a while. I added coloured mushrooms in the midground to add more colour other than green and blue to the backgrounds. The flax bushes also look pretty neat! I hope they at least point out that this is 'set in native NZ forests' as well as the Koru plants. I decided not to add flowers as it already looks nice as it is. Plus Taylor is adding my flower asset into the game multiple times, so we don't want to over crowd the background :)

Alive Backgrounds
On Saturday, I started painting up the alive versions of the background sections I've painted. I'm so glad Taylor showed me the clipping mask tool! It helps soooo much.
Taylor showed the group her alive background for the first section and I've colour picked from it. This helped me get most of it done on Saturday.
In terms of the trees in the midground, where the character will be walking along, I have to paint over the trees to better match up with Taylor's. Rather than having the norms of brown trees, they will be green. This is a better contrast with the once dead background and it looks a lot more lively.
First I colour picked form the pathway and coloured over the tree and changed the layer to 'linear light' This helped me see the detail of the tree underneath . The green doesn't match up with Taylor's, so yesterday I started working on the trees and colour picking from Taylor's painting. It's coming together really nicely.
Taylor turned some of her trees into Pohutukawa trees and I'd like to implement other native trees/ plants. For the section where there is a tree by itself, I will add yellow to suggest that it's a Kowhai tree. It wont look exactly like one, but different colours at least would be nice. I'd also like to add some flax bushes as well (without over cluttering!). As well as more things in the midground like a mushroom or flowers :)
-Add plants in midground
-Finish midground tree
Section 5
-Finish trees in midground
-Add more plants in midground
Add leaves in trees in background.
I will aim to finish these by Wednesday at the latest, so I can pass them on to Taylor!!

Completed 'Dead' Backgrounds
YAY! I've finished both sections 3 & 5! (The dead state at least) The most difficult parts were the trees, Taylor gave me a hand as I wanted it to look similar to the style of the trees she's painted. The trees took a while, but I finally did it!
The layers are all separated into 2 backgrounds and a mid-ground which consists of where our sprout character will be running along.
For the foreground, it will just be a repeated silhouette that Taylor painted for the first section. The foreground is not so important, so repeating it is cool :) (not shown in my images below.
Close up of the tree after Taylor helped me. It's a lot more interesting and rounded a lot nicer.
Section 3 Complete
Section 5 Complete
Here are images of the sections broken up into layers.

Section 5 broken up into png layers
Our goal was to have the 'dead' background done by this week, so we can start on the 'alive' background. I think it'd be best for Taylor to do an alive background first before Mikayla and I dive in seeing as we want to keep the colour palette and style consistent just as the dead background. Taylor is doing quite a lot of work at the moment though which is putting everything into Unity and basically putting it together. She's doing such an excellent job!! I will ask her if she can paint up a quick one over the weekend so I can make a start for next week :)
