I think that helps to sell the fact that you're actually in a forrest, and not on a grass road with dense-as-fuck trees to the left and right.

already planned

I don't know, it bugs me that there's such a sudden change in sunlight.

specifically on this one i do care a lot about scrolling
but changing the sky might still work
my thought was that you traveled quite a long time on the rest of the road - and the sun is supposed to be rising on the first sub stage so it simply became day time
probably a better option for me is letting the sun go down again on the third one

yes

thats what i was thinking

If the sun gets down again in the third substage, that would be waaay to quick. Sunset in the middle of stage 3 sounds good though ;)

i did mean the substage
time is relative - you don't know how much time you will have to spend on the mainland
and i don't know yet whether i'm gonna do any daytime changes on stage 3

One of those 3 backgrounds is a "fake" one. My guess would be the highway. So, is it a two layer background (with foreground object and state: 9997 object as background), or is there some witchcraft and wizardry again?

all three of them are fake, or at least partly fake
9997 is only used for fade in and fade out so far
i might change that on some backgrounds tho
