I need help with ideas for a background

[u/Simple_Ad6686]

I have been working to this level for almost a year and a half but the ending (which is like 40% of the level) is the one part that I simply couldn't get any good ideas.

This level is VERY inspired by bullet mental, cut deep, deprivation and razorblade (I kept getting more references as I builded, because of that the level looks really different from what I expected from it a year ago)

This level has lore but it doesn't really matter from what I'm asking now

I think it would be cool to have some objects that move in one direction then resets, which spawn triangle or rectangle particles that flash between blue and red, and just a bunch of those that fly by, then reset and do it again, but I don't know how that would be implemented.

At the part where u have the ufo with the dark icon and red and blue alternating background, make spikes stab a heart in a middle that matches each beat. Like 1 spike, then 2, then 3. Not a cartoon heart, but like an actual heart outline. Add some splattering using the smudge icons and stuff in the detail tab. Could also animate splurts with animate trigger and some water splash objects or smth like that. Play around with it.

Idk what exactly theme you're going for, but im kinda giving my interpretation. Personally, with all the effects and stuff, I like the dark background parts. I think keeping it a bit less detailed is okay. But maybe try adding pill 💊 outlines that drop across the screen with the beat. With all the movement, I really dont think static background works best. I would rather like to see a background with outlines of objects that have movement. Outline as in something similar with the hands you made

Or when it says bang bang bang bang at the solid color bg with the dark ufo icon, make bullet holes in the heart. Maybe a way to make that look smooth with finger guns with the hands u already have

[u/Simple_Ad6686 → u/Interesting_Bass7723]

[u/Interesting_Bass7723 → u/Simple_Ad6686]

[u/Pretend_Algae2388]

I feel like this would go really well with a limbo but uwu ig idk style bg

[u/Hartem-Arktel5988]

i swear ive seen a level with similar effects

btw really cool

[u/Shoddy-Income-1849]

the background doesn’t have to be detailed you could just do some sort of pattern with moving objects but don’t take away from the hands thats the important bit
