So what is new this week?
I have been continuing on Art Concept Paintovers. With the Stage Banner canvas, it was using a placeholder TextMeshPro fonts, for simple text fx. I wanted to replace this, with a custom true type font, that I could use in the Stage Banner number. As I was not using any words or text in this game (aside for scores), I just needed to build the 0-9 numeric symbols. Much easier 🙂
Next, I started fleshing out the colours for the elements of the Stage Banner canvas, with the Arrow, the Disc and the Stage Number.
When I was pretty satisfied with the 3 animating elements, I then experimented further on the background of the Stage Banner and the Countdown Timer. I wanted to animate a faceted pattern, similar to a kaleidoscope pattern, and I experimented with faceted and blurry textures. Check them out below.
Next, I will be working on the Paintover for the Countdown Timer.
