I got the idea for trying a build with verticality from Skyes's screenshots of their base WIP, totally blew my mind seeing Corekeeper with depth like that

This looks amazing! The depth trick totally reminds me of the way staredew valley approaches height. The only critique I could give is the scene’s fairly dim lighting in some places I wish I could see better, like the bridge in the top left
pure raft
How did you make it have verticality?
daring fractal
I start by placing the "upper level" and "lower level" down with at most two empty spaces between them
lighting is also important, so with the Scarlet Hand Tool I darken the areas adjacent to the "wall" and brighten up all other squares to give the impression of the wall casting shade.
