2 AM on day whatever this is and ALL THE BACKGROUND ART IS DONE. Holy crap the image is huge but I'm super happy with how it turned out. I plugged the giant thing into Construct 2, started adding solids and now I have something that looks like a game!!!!!
All I have to do now are the sprites of EVERYTHING ELSE. ...And program fighting, and make more sprites for Maria (you may have noticed she doesn't actually jump), and figure out how to get her up the stairs....
Wish me luck!
