TEXTURES AND GRAPHICS
OVERVIEW
Since 2018, the ground textures were given more detail overall. Shadows were drawn onto textures to give it more depth.
A few backgrounds were just simple texture patterns in 2018, but given variety in later version.
DWELLING
Ground texture was originally darker, features less drop shadows in ground decorations.
BORDER
All border edges used the same, simple texture. Seen all the way up to the State of Play Trailer
