update on the planet:

-new sound effects and animations for foliage
(though one sound effect is missing because of that bug)

-multiple parallax layers in the background

also, what should the planet be called?

Maspa (‘wasp’ and ‘map’ combined since it seems closer to a jungle planet than anything else. Also, I think ‘29’ sounds good with the name.)

Gorgex
Morbed
Malgof
Green Port (because I see grass lol)
Alsof

They just sound alien to me (I made them all up lol)

Maspa 29… sounds cool, might use that one.

@Yorkie2323 what are the names based on? I thought they might be words backwards but they aren’t.

No idea, they’re based off what you want to base them off.

ok, I see the edit that you made them up now. Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate them.

Nice! Now, I would recommend giving the player something to look at in the sky. A cloud perhaps? maybe some rugged mountains?

I was thinking about something like that. How about mountains and clouds?

how are these?

(I expanded the camera temporarily to get this screenshot)

or maybe not temporarily? should I keep the screen bigger?

Hmm, how do you make those mountains so quick?

I just drew the outline of a mountain, then filled it black with the bucket tool.

Did you make it with flowlab’s sprite editor?

Yeah, I did make it with flowlab’s sprite editor, any sprites aside from those background ones i made in pixilart.com though

Impressive, I can’t do anything with the editor lol

I make my art with pixilart.com too
