Hey Everybody…

I am working on a background scene for my game level. and I am currently stuck because i cant decide to either keep the background simple or go full detail? I mean the player wont be paying attention to the background to much anyway. but then again i dont wont the level to not look full enough. any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks…

You’d definitely go lower detail, the question is how to achieve that, for example with fighting games the background is going to be detailed enough so that it looks good from where you see it during gameplay but it won’t look that good if you got closer. Also, sometimes the background stuff is just an image on a flat plane.
