Experimenting with a title screen. Obviously I'm not too concerned about the 'screen design' so to speak since it's just a bunch of text and a ripped background. I'm more worried about the colours of it all. Does it look too blue, or do you think keeping a central colour is a better idea? Thoughts?

Looking good, but you could try what it looks like with warm colours. A peachy/pastel orange theme might look neat. Somwhat like the GameOver screen from ZII but with softer colours.

Perhaps something like this:


Looking on it, I think the warmer colours look better. Kinda like a sunset kinda thing. Thanks for the tip!

I like the warmer colors better, too. But I've got another suggestion: You should change some of the text on the title screen. Having three different fonts on one title screen is too many, in my opinion. I think you should change the font with your name on it to match the font with the title of the game.

Nice title screen, SpacemanDan.

My only real complaint is that the sub-title text doesn't look as good or clear as the rest of the text (by subtitle I mean "An Ailgathian Legend").

That reminds me, I still have to make a title screen for my quest... I want to have something before the demo is released.

@William Actually, I think I may just remove my name in it all together. It seems to clutter it up a fair bit, looking on it.

no its not because i forgot what font it was what are you talking about

@Blue_Knight: Hmm...I agree. I'll see what I can do about fixing it up a bit.

Thoughts, opinions, complaints? Give them all here! I made this shot for the upcoming Screen Rebirth, if you couldn't tell.

I love the warmer colours, before it felt like your usual daytime scene but now it's sunset/sunrise witch looks better then your usual day scene any day.

Good as usual, maybe some bushes though?

I like that better. If you want the colours to be a little dynamic you could turn the orange to a slightly purplish colour the darker the shades get. But it's already pretty atmospheric (and doesn't look as icy as the blue version did).

[SpacemanDan]

More colour messing (albeit only a little) as well as trying to make the subtitle stand look better. Though now I'm dealing with three fonts again. D: (I tried to pick something that looked similar to the 'Start' font. I should really keep track of what fonts I use. D: )



Is the new font too hard to read with how I've got it? That's my major concern right now. Colours I can go back and fix fairly easily.

I like it. It's open, allowing the player to move about and all that fun but it's also nicely detailed. I can't really think of anything I'd change. Though maybe making the cave entrance a little more natural instead of perfectly straight would be something to try? Like, maybe round it a bit or something. Just a thought.

Yeah, I can definitely try that. I'll post an update later with the new cave entrance. Thanks for the advice! I never thought to try that.

[Xenix]

Let me rephrase that.

Hmmm, I have been playing around with some tiles and I made a "test" screen. It may make it into the game but not without heavy modification as it is not finished, that's what I mean by test with quotes around it.



What do you guys think?

Hmm, no. You've put everything you found in this one screen. Never a good idea.

i was just testing how to use the tiles i got. but this screen is dual-purpose since i will be using that mountain layout and stuff for a ruins screen possibly.

I like how this look. I really enjoy the water quite a bit. Nice setup for the screen too.

I really hope this ends up making it into your quest. It's a really nice looking screen, and would be a shame for it to go to waste.

Thanks Angeal! I appreciate the compliments on my screens!

Woah that is eerily close to the titlescreen I'm working on for Inferno actually. Well, mine may not be a titlescreen as much as just a title'card', but for now I'm calling it a titlescreen, unless I make up something better. Either way, I love it. I like this blue version a bit better than the other one, but that's just me. Makes the water reflections look a bit more magical or something.

Alright, I like all of these different variations of you Title Screen. I don't think the blue looks as good as 'warmer' colors of your second and third variation of this. I think the third screen is the best one. I like the different font, since it gives it a bit more character. One suggestion, is perhaps you could have a small bird flying through the air, and it would just show up as a silhouette. I say go with the third version!

[Cukeman]

I like the second version the most, the color has such a soft, diaphanous, gossamer feel to it.
I feel that gets lost when you add a strong red or blue to it.
