Creating custom backgrounds in platformers

Help
1

I am currently working on a platformer type of level in the creative menu, essentially a don’t look down clone, and it is one that I plan to push the visual limit on.

Making prop art is not difficult, but I am curious if it is possible to create a custom background. You can already change the floor, but there is no choice to change the background, for it is locked to the blue sky with the clouds. I’m currently working on a way to make rain, and the only way I know of creating a custom background would be super sizing props, and copy pasting them wherever the character walks.

I’m creating this thread for brainstorming the game, and creating in depth art.

Any ideas you have would be awesome.

What kind of background are you looking for?
Theme, colors, mood etc.

Just a black background, as well as some trees and other objects as solid dark gray. Rain as well. Its just a dark and stoic looking map.

I quite like that, are you able to share the creative map itself? Where I’m able to look at how its setup? Or is that not a possibility?

Sorry but I’m not allowed to send live codes or links here. Are you on the WIX? Or if you want, I can show you how I built it

Hmm ok, then I’ll just make a mini-tutorial

I do not know of the Wix site.
