Main Menu Artwork

Might be worth doing anyway so that I can see the typeface in context, choose the best sizes for it and also so I don't get any nasty surprises .

I started working on it . Took some getting used to with the radical change and the type is now much wider which gives less overall space for text, but it is pretty fitting at least .

Good to know. I'm interested to see the results.

Moved house and various other personal dramas - back to work !

[Andrew]

Good to know!

I've been quiet recently but behind the scenes I've been working on the game. Still not finished with some of the base stuff before I can move on to the main menu quite yet, however things are progressing nicely. Now if only we could get someone fixing that damn windows problem while I'm doing this.

So I'm about to start work on this now but I no longer have a copy of the main menu video as a point of reference. Could you send me the video again?

[nirokugraphic]

Awesome

The change to the typeface was a bit of a roadblock on the progress of this and I had made significant changes to it after the video was produced .

I would like to revisit this, make the necessary changes and provide a new guide video if that's cool ?

[Andrew]

Sure no problem.

Started on this yesterday. This is what I've got so far taken from different angles.

Okay nice, I was hoping that the planet view would be of it above you as if were looming down on you . Personally I wouldn't have the sun visible at all, that is synonymous with hope !

It did seem silly to me to have a scene with planet object as a 3d asset when this could be an image, and maybe even a sphere with a cloud formation on it which moves and rotates to show that the planet is changing - bearing in mind that Titan is apparently quite featureless from space so something special would need to be done and also without going overboard !

Would you prefer a preview image of this before the menu itself ?
