Hey everyone, Brandon & Danny here from Nano Park Studios! We've been busy continuing the development of Petal Runner and we want to share a development & media roundup for this month! [h1]Night-Time Effect Breakdown! 🌙[/h1] We put together a quick breakdown detailing how we created our night-time effect! This is accomplished by swapping out all the colours for darker & less saturated versions. Then, we apply a series of masks and these are brought back to the original day-time colours to create that glowing effect. Check it out below! [previewyoutube=RpIpjb1SC-c;full][/previewyoutube] This is a neat way to create a higher-fidelity appearance, while still keeping the colour palette relatively restricted and retro! Brandon recently shared a timelapse showing the process of creating a new building for our game's highly skilled (and suspiciously rabbit-looking) version of a police force! 🐰 He also discusses how we take the night-time palette into consideration, when preparing assets.
