REMINDER FOR WRITECHAMP: THESE DESCRIPTIONS ARE MEANT TO INFORM ILLUSTRATION OF BACKGROUNDS. DON'T GET TOO LOST IN IMAGINATION, BUT INCLUDE USEFUL DETAILS.

In general the atmosphere I imagine for the background art is somewhat bright. Cool, earthy tones that work with Kiki's color palette, plus splashes of saturated color for flowers etc. Soothing, healing atmosphere. I apologize if I come off as picky or pretentious, I'll be really happy with anything that fits the scenes and I feel honored to be working with (You)!

Whenever I mention sprites, this is sort of in an offhand way. The script will have more specifics in that area.

1. ARRIVAL

Scene 1 takes place primarily in the early afternoon (~3 PM) near the entrance to the park, which is large, adjacent to natural woods. and well outside the center of town. It is situated near a highway. Despite its size and a lot of natural barriers, most of the park is fenced off from the outside to deter wildlife from roaming toward the busy highway and to deter people wandering in and fucking with the wildlife.

There is a front gate made of wrought iron, covered with flowering vines. Visible from the entrance is a small plaza with a fountain and benches. There are flower bushes ringing the plaza, providing a backdrop for the benches. Near the plaza is a clock tower (bathrooms are at its base). It's not huge but it's big enough to be visible from the highway if one is close enough.

Paths lead from the plaza to different areas of the park - picnic areas, hiking trails through the woods, playgrounds, and so on. In general there are a lot of trees and since it's springtime, the colors are pleasant and invigorating.

There is a fair number of people here at the plaza, possibly to be represented by semi-transparent silhouette sprites?

Initially, champy is outside the gate. He enters by the end of the scene after checking over his outfit and the gift he brought for Kiki. So there should possibly be 2-3 backgrounds. The view of the plaza is probably the most important.

Summary: Fence with flowers, gate with view of plaza, plaza.

2. FINDING KIKI

Scene 2 begins in the plaza, where they agreed to meet by the fountain. There is a close up of the clock tower as Champy checks the time and sees that it's 3 PM exactly. Regardless of player choice, champy ends up going down the same path to the hiking trails.

Summary: Close up of different parts of the plaza listed in Scene 1 (fountain, clock tower, signs). 1-3 nice backgrounds of a hiking trail with woods around, with the forest being increasingly dense.

3. KIKI FOUND

Scene 3 involves finding Kiki off the path in the woods. Champy finds her in a picturesque state as described here, either sitting with both legs to one side or on all fours acting like a rabbit surrounded by wild rabbits. They're oblivious at first and she's having the time of her life speaking with them in kikinese.

The scene mostly happens in this clearing off the main path in the woods.

Summary: A beautiful clearing in the woods, possibly viewed from 2 distances. If possible this part would be great for a CG or multiple character sprites (of kiki and rabbits).

4. GIFT

Scene 4 happens in the same place as Scene 3. What will be needed most here are character sprites or CGs for Kiki (one for each gift described in the outline). Plus a close-up kiss, eyes closed hug, and blushy ear fondle, ideally...

5. WHAT NOW

We go back to the paths from Scene 2, to the Plaza.
For 5a (community garden), we could use a CG of a flowery garden in spring. I imagine something like out of the buckingham palace gardens, since she said she'd want to visit those.

For 5b (duck pond), we could reuse one of the hiking path BGs and then we'll need a BG of a large pond encircled by trees. Ideally we could also have a goose sprite and bloodthirsty kiki sprite.

For 5c, (she chooses), we'll need a mahjong table and pieces. Old lady sprites and kiki (from the back) sprite would also be good.

Summary: a beautiful flower garden, hiking path BGs from earlier, large pond encircled by trees, mahjong table and pieces, goose sprite, bloodthirsty kiki sprite, old lady sprites and mahjong kiki sprite

6. END

Champy and Kiki get ready to leave. We'll need a sunset version of the plaza, sunset version of the gate BG from the beginning, sleepy kiki sprite, and hopefully a CG of "champy carrying kiki exiting the park gate where the game started with the setting sun behind them" and a close-up on Kiki's sleeping face as she's being carried by her husband.

Summary: sunset version of plaza and earlier gate bgs, hopefully CGs and sprites.
