🔹 Focus: Creating pixel-art background environments & refining scene transitions

🔍 Goals for the Night

✅ Generate high-quality pixel-art backgrounds for Vision Quest

✅ Ensure consistent walking platform alignment across scenes

✅ Define scene transition strategy for seamless movement

✅ Document MidJourney prompt refinement process

📌 What We Accomplished

✅ Refined pixel-art background generation – Successfully created multiple high-quality environments, ensuring consistent atmosphere and color palette. The goal was dark, mystical blue-green tones to match the Vision Quest aesthetic.

✅ Locked in structured scene transitions – Decided on a simple left-to-right scene change, with an optional fade effect. The spirit animal companion will provide dialogue during transitions, reinforcing the mystical narrative.

✅ Tested Photoshop scene assembly – Aligned background layers, ensuring walking platform consistency. Considered using Generative Fill for seamless transitions.

✅ Refined MidJourney prompt method – Optimized prompt structure to maintain:

• Consistent walking paths in each scene
• Smooth scene transitions
• Rich pixel-art textures matching the original poster aesthetic
• Seed-based iteration for visual consistency

✅ Defined asset workflow – Updated the Asset Table to reflect the new background-first approach, reducing the number of layers while ensuring cohesion across scenes.
