Art Update: Spot the differences!

Added 2020-11-13 12:50:04 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!

Here is another update on what I've been doing. So this week I decided to make some improvements to the current backgrounds.

The main reason to do this, was to improve the gameplay & make things more user-friendly (as part of the planned reorganization-update). But I also updated the art a bit, since I had to replace the files in the game anyway.

Well... can you spot the differences? :)

Keens Room

So this is the (old) version that's in game now:

This is my update:

* Before, I placed the printer in the desk as a quick fix. But I always felt it should have a more prominent spot in the room so I put it in the wall. And by doing this, I could also return keens toolbox in his desk, which I always found a nice detail.

Bio-garden

So this is the (old) version that's in game now:

and this is the update again:

* The biggest change here, is that I lowered the banana plant, so it doesn't disappear behind the HUD. The plant used to be just a background element, but now that you really need a banana, it should be more visible.

North Hallway

So this is the (old) version that's in game now:

and this is a sketch for the planned update:

* Here I first updated the Clean-Bot, to make it look more like a lifesaver; so the puzzle becomes somewhat more logical. (You will still need the paint, but this time to put white stripes on it.)
* Then I made the hallway more messy, to better show that the Green Beetle is an old ship.
* But more important, the new setup also gives Keen reason to inspect the damage here & while he does, he will catch a glimpse of the massage room behind the window!

Well,

let me know what you think of the changes :)

All the best!
