Which Chapter Screen?

Cluey · Mon 20/09/2004 20:11:20

I need some opinion, and critiscism, on these chapter screens:

This or:

In terms of colour, the first.
But I'm not too fond of the font.

Cluey · Mon 20/09/2004 20:22:47

Can be changed, any suggestions?

I think both screens are great, but I also think the first one is the best...

On the font issue I would surgest that you use the same font as the one saying "Part I..." all the way through.
I also surgest that you move the entire "chaper I"-thing into the black area...

1 all the way.

I vote for 1. too. But why don't you try changing dark brown to real black?

may i ask, in stylistic sense, is the moon not elongated or enveloped in any way? I mean, I don't want to see a square moon, but are you sure you want a pefectly circular moon in contrast to the clouds and tree branches in the shot which go any which way they want, which I like, but I would suggest keeping it all the same.

oh, and I liked version 1

I think that moon looks perfect in contrast to irregular shapes around it.

is there a guy sitting outside the house in screen 1??

I think the first one, but maybe with the moon of the second pic.
Also try fading the black into a purple as it goes down in the bottem of the picture. Just a sugestion...

I also like the first one better, I like the font too. The Part 1: Chapter 1: title seems to indicate your game will be nice and long. Can we expect 4 parts with 3 chapters each (or something like that)

fovmester · Tue 21/09/2004 06:16:50

Definately the first one.

Cluey · Tue 21/09/2004 13:12:23

I'm thinking of making 3 parts to my game. They will be released individually over time, Im literally at the start of the first one so it may be a while.
The Darksiders
Part I: The Darksiders
Chapter I: The Quick and the not so Physically Able
Chapter II: The Road To Hell
Chapter III: Teatime of the Dead
Chapter IV: Riger Mortis

Part II: The Mercenary
Part III: The Conveiniently Open Eding

I definately like the first one, but I think the chapter name might have better cadence if it was "The quick and the less physically able".

Are you American by the way, because British people tend to say "not as" rather than "not so". That's completely off-topic, I'm just interested.

Okay, I like the second one better. It gives the eye more of a focal point around the eye of the raven. I love the fog effects as well! You might even animate them to very good effect...

The first one just draws my eye around in circles, because the two swirly clouds make two interesting shapes on opposite sides of the picture. Maybe if you took away the left swirly cloud it would feel a little more quiet (assuming still and quiet is the effect you are going for).

On the font, I'm not a big fan of the font with the crossed O, whatever it's called. It draws too much attention to itself. You might remedy that a little by making it, say, yellow, instead of white.

Anyway, just my two cents worth, disagreeing with everyone else's consensus
