heh, I think you pretty much nailed it Pechuga.

I wanted to see what points the pic made by itself, rather than slobbering my oppinion all over the place...and seeing you apreciate it actually made me change my whole oppinion on the subject.
oe....y porque pechuga? XD es demasiado chistoso para mi leer eso en pixelatio---opolis, por lo que pechuga es "slang" para teta y todo eso....:p
you guys dont wanna know what that translates into :p
The perspective is indeed really high, and more importantly what that causes is the eye-fish type distortion to be on the foreground area (where the sprites'll be, and no perspective should take effect) rather than on the far off background
Had it been far off in the background, I think it would've been much easier to fit scrolling fighter sprites on it, since the only traces of perspective would've been the diagonal lines, which are pretty commonplace in fighter BGs anyway
Big thumbs up for Kazu anyways, for daring to just go with his feeling, I think you should finish this even if just for shits 'n giggles...maybe we can do like with that other background and do a japanese mask theme thingy :p
oh, and I was disappointed you dropped the whole purple shadow idea in the later stages, that would've made it much more interesting hue-wise, and it would've also fitted the fact that there's all that purple reflective light surrounding the building.
