Generate separate depth layers for a 2D side scrolling game environment. Each layer must be created as an individual image file.
The purpose is to create a consistent parallax scrolling background system.
Make the aspect ratio 16:9.
Generate The Following Depth Layers
1. Far Background Layer (Slowest Movement)
Only distant environmental elements.
Low contrast and reduced detail.
No gameplay platforms.
No foreground objects.
No characters.
Leave space in lower areas for stacking additional layers.
2 Mid Background Layer
Environmental structures with medium detail and contrast.
Still no gameplay platforms.
No characters.
Designed to sit in front of the far background but behind gameplay elements.
3. Gameplay Layer
Playable ground, platforms, stairs, props, or environmental objects relevant to gameplay.
Clean separation from background.
No far background elements included.
Optimized for collision and interaction.
4. Foreground Layer (Fastest Movement)
High-contrast silhouette or decorative foreground elements.
Positioned at the bottom or edges of the frame.
No background elements.
No character.
Designed to enhance depth when moving faster than other layers.
No text.
