About this skill

Make backgrounds for my visual novel

It said back

I made six backgrounds and a sheet that shows all of them with captions. The sheet looks fine: the text is spelled correctly, nothing is cut off, and the order is clear. The layout tool did print a "could not be measure­d" warning on both builds.

Files are in ./backgrounds/:

  • sheet.png
  • pictures/classroom-day.png
  • pictures/classroom-sunset.png
  • pictures/rooftop.png
  • pictures/park-path.png
  • pictures/cafe.png
  • pictures/bedroom-night.png
