Stairs in 2D
How would you make a simple staircase in 2d assuming that your looking down at the game.
Its hard because it just ends up looking like a bunch of rectangles next to eachother.
Just an artistic question not a technical one.
Thanks

Really, any way that makes it look less like a solid rectangle.
- Add a bit of wear-and-tear to the center of the staircase, make it look like it's been well used. Or a carpet. Anything that adds a strip of detail along the walking axis of the staircase
- Ensure the lighting is at an angle so that each step casts some shadow onto the one below it
- Add a bannister
