03/07/22 - Creating a mesmerising menu background

Infinite Treasure currently has an ugly blue background in all its menus. One of the main themes of this game is relaxation so I wanted to replace this with something therapeutic that players could stare at between levels. I was fortunate enough to be able to license some ambient sounds from the wonderful Dr Stéphane Pigeon at MyNoise - a particularly relaxing one was Sleeping Dragon so I chose to pair this with my new background. Here's the result:

How does it work?

I'm quite happy with the result. In the absence of my art skills, this turned out to be a simple way to make an attractive menu background using basic mathematics. The UI elements are still quite ugly - I'll likely employ a designer to improve those.

This background will be coming in the upcoming Alpha 6 version of Infinite Treasure, due next week. You'll be able to download it on Google Play then at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brillgames.infinitetreasure (I am seeking play-testers and feedback - all is welcome!)
