Updated my screenshots so you can see the stuff i added in the background(not much), updated the screen count, and added other progress trackers.

It's not about the time it takes to make backgrounds, its that i'm terrible at them

Since nobody has yet responded , I decided to say something. I read the wild world preview by Dj Gopher and saw that he said it took him 45 min to make a certain screen and I noticed that it doesn't take me anywhere near as long to make a screen. Probably because I'm terrible at backgrounds. So now I've decided to show how I make a single average quality  screen in under five min.     First, i draw the land with a neutral tile. I let my hand flow freely to give the ground a more naturally random feel.     Second, I fill the ground in.     Third, I add the edge detail.     Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth, I add the BG scenery.   I do every screen that way.

I just use Microsoft photo editor for setting transparencies.   I know its old and kinda crappy but it works perfectly for my purposes.   I just use a single color for background then set it to transparent when ready.

The story line is a bit like that of "The Village" by "M. Night Shyamalan"
screen shot time!

Status Update: I have now written out a basic storyline. There will be four chapters and an epologue.
I now have some really good music for the ending.     Im working on a separate project as of now so this level will be on hold

is it possible to make a lethal custom obj.
im wanting to use it for some enemies.  also, is it possible to make a CO that shoots stuff at you?

Can someone please tell me how to do a screen shot of my level
