Title: Game Title Screen(WIP)
Post by: A2J2TIWARI on October 13, 2013, 03:05:33 pm

Hello everyone,

I am here to beg for your help, again! I am working on a mini game and for that I am trying to create a title screen.

About the game: Its a never-ending jumping game where player has to keep jumping higher and higher to avoid the rising lava, moreover keeping in mind other obstacles and such.

Here's a screen-shot:

And here's the idea for the title screen:

It's just idea and not final..

You could start by organizing the menu so it's more organized:

I tried my hand at making a slightly better version with my subpar spriting skills.
Tell me what you think.
I like your tile sets by the way, they make an amazing background for the menu.

Your cliff lacks a lot of shadow.... If you put more shadow.. it would look better....  Some contrast would be also good..

I would suggest looking at some typefaces that may fit your needs. These could help direct how the rest of your design will look. Anna Anthropy has enough designed at the pixel level that you should find something you like.

Also worth checking for bitmap fonts is Dafont: http://www.dafont.com/bitmap.php

Alternatively if you're hand adding fonts you can try any interesting font and turn off the aliasing/change scaling to nearest neighbor (and then probably fix some jaggies).

@supersid333 - Awesome idea man! Implemented it! Now here's how it looks:

@Wayno and Vince - Thanks for linking me to fonts. At first I was thinking to do all this by hand but I think using fonts would be better idea.

@Beetleking - Thanks for letting me now! I'll fix them. This game was supposed to be completed and released within a week and I didnt spend more than 2 hours on graphics.. so you know.. I'll redo some things though.
