This is a deep parallax scrolling asset showing a landscape which could be shown in games like Shadow of the Beast on the Commodore Amiga computers.
I used the raster to achieve the effect.
Feel free to use it for your own projects. 🙂
Release notes
———————
v0.1 - first release
v0.1a - fixed a bug which prevented the scrolling to work in some situations
v0.1b - fixed a bug with the scrolling
v0.2 - improved asset, now graphics were moved in gfx editor and copied from memory instead of generated on runtime. Improved also the fence on the front layer

Thank you was8bit, however it was a little more than a simple picture, it’s a real multiplane parallax scrolling. However I noticed that effectively the scrolling was completely frozen on the first version, because of a bug when the scroll speed was manipulated outside the raster (and in fact for a reason I cannot figure out: sometimes it works and sometimes not). I simplified the code, and uploaded the file again, now it should work as expected.

Big trees and a Zeppelin are missing ;)

Timo, yes I agree... Perhaps one of these days I would decide to reproduce the Shadow of the Beast scrolling as close as possible as the original version :) However I just wanted to test an idea I had about how to implement multiple parallax scrolling, but not especially the SOTB one, which I only used as a base to create my landscape (obviously it was the closest one to test my idea ;) ). I offered this work as an asset, because I doesn't plan to use it for now, and perhaps (I hope) it may serve for others. I would be curious to see what other people can do with it...

It is quite beautiful :)
I noticed abit of a 3d effect at the bottom where it look like a bit of branch where you can see thru a hole in it and see the more distant movement ... I think accentuating that 3d effect with a bigger thing at the front would really make that 3d effect pop!

What is the bridge looking structure at the bottom
Timo 2020-04-18 09:37
Should be a fence. Here is a video of the inspiration source of this scroller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73JBaFkNZaE

Yes it’s a fence, I’m not a very good graphist 😄
And to be honnest, inspired from the c64 version instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_GdJiEjSho

Those mountains are pretty! They inspired some of the background tiles in my upload here.
