INTRO

Hello, community!
Now, many of you have gotten the Season Ticket, meaning you have gotten Platformer Mode.
But, since it’s still in beta, there is only one backdrop: the DLD sky.
And, sure, it’s great and all, but personally, I have gotten SO SICK of seeing it.
To make your background match your game theme, you can use the Barrier device, props, and many other things to just lift your map to the next level.

FORMAT

-insert theme here-

-list of what is needed

insert an image of how it would look (if you don’t have season ticket, just design it on a barrier in top-down mode. Viewers can just use that barrier design and transfer it to their map.)

THE IDEAS

Underwater

-Item Image (fish)
-Coral
-Barrier x2 (one 1.0 opacity (below layer), one 0.5 opacity (above layer))

Cave

Barrier:
RGB 55, 44, 17
1.00 Transparency, collision off, behind layer.
Small vine:
x9 Alien plants
x2 Item image (Galaxy Fish)
Above layer
Large budding vine:
x14 Alien plants
x3 Item image (Galaxy Fish) (Gold Seed with a purple outline)
Above layer
Gem Celling
8x Rocks
RGB 12, 43, 115
Collision off, Below Layer
x5 Item Image (Heavy Shards)
x6 Item Image (Light Shards)


EXTRAS: Duplicate the barrier except make it 0.30 transparency, and on above layer as in above EVERYTHING, to give a lighting change

Forest

14x Tree’s green ( tint to what you like)
13x bushes green (tint to what you like)
Some forest animals. I added a tiger, 2 parrots, and a blue bird.

Nice! I haven’t really thought about making backgrounds…
I’ll try and add some.
Also, shouldn’t you add the platformer tag?
edit:
Added it but you can change it back if not :)

I can’t make a backdrop right now but I have some ideas. You could make a volcano backdrop with a red barrier and then volcano emojis. (Or you could make your own) and then add detail with props idk.

Yes, it is, but you have to leave your name in the contributed if you are adding backgrounds to the wiki, and also check the box, unchecking it when done.
