C&C on my crappy title screen?

[Nickster]

sooo... seeing as im using the RTP style, ive been having trouble coming up with something that matches to a certain degree. eventually, i came up with this.

I've used the RTP, so im not expecting compliments for my amazing amounts creativity. XD

Spoiler: In game screenshot

Have no idea what your talking about, that title screen looks amazing. You've taken your creativity and used the default to create something unique. Take more pride in your work. It's AWSM! :thumb:

the only thing i like, is the New Game, Continue, Shut Down, not so much the way its laid out, or the font, but the fact its not a standard crappy box.

the title is too small, its drowned out by the cheesy battlers.

on to the battlers, it makes me think its some kind of pokemon/monster fan game, using bad art (boo enterbrain artists for rmxp, the VX ones are actually pretty nice) and whats with the little faces all over?

Very creative, but you need to work on your font/styles choices, because what you have now looks hideous. "Pinnacle" Should stand out a bit more, maybe add a black/grey dop shadow on it, and make the keep the fill.

How is using pre-existing rtp graphics creative?

There's nothing really wrong with it, but seeing as you made about 10% of it yourself, there isn't too much of a reason to get/give any feedback on it.

The battlers are well drawn, so they suit the title.

I have no quarrels. The line accross is a little confusing. It would make more sense if the backgrounds changed and that was separating them.
I think your title is a little attention seeking. I'm fairly sure you know fair well that it isn't crappy. Don't do that, it's really annoying.

What is the game about?

If you make the  "New game, Continue, End"  thing on a Wooden Sign, the Demon holds in his hand.. It´ll look wonderful.. this time i must say...  COOOOOL.. How you got that Idea  ^^

 

[Nickster]

alright, so work on font, title, battlers and the little orbface things...

 

[XCQSHN]

When I said creative, I meant the idea, with the characters coming out of the Space background thing, and how they were placed, no idiot would seriously think using default graphics is creative.

 

[Brewmeister]

I like it. I would bold the game commands, and lose the smileys.

 

[Calibre]

I'm pretty sure the commands are the default .pngs that come with the title screen script, so he'd need to know the font / change the font to do that.

@ Calibre: honestly, when most people actually do try to use original art, it turns out looking bad aynways. if you feel like it, think of this as a concept or a work in progress. im honestly not happy with most of it either. but it would be nice to at least NOT get a "uncreative piece of crap" from people. im not saying you did that, but when people do that, it comes off as rude, and tacky. i can take serious constructive cristism, in fact i asked for it, i want to the best that im possibly capable of. but to other people im sure it would be thoroughly and completely discouraging. isnt the point to help people turn into the best they can be, not drive them away?

whheewww... after speaking my mind, i guess im ready for the flames. :\

Flames!!!

Burn you Whore!!!  ^_^

Good Idea for a title, although I would lose the smileys and possibly try and make all the pictures have a kinds... same lighting effect to it (some of them look dark, some of them look light... they all kinda contrast to each other, and if you made them all the same kinda contrast, brightness and meddle with the colors, it would look awesome.

[syphonmax]

I agree with Kraft it looks great so far don't listen to the others. Lose the smiley faces they annoy me xD

As for the rest try and make their contrast look the same and maybe add a shadow somewhere and you might actually get an awesome title screen. I love the way you put the title "Pinnacle" it looks awesome.

I cleaned up the hijacking/needless argument in this thread, it went to the black hole of dev/null never to be seen again.  I'm sorry if this seems heavy handed.  RA is for Analyzing Resources, please provide critiques of the OP's original artwork, not of eachother's attitudes, biases, or criticisms except in honest discussion of the artwork itself.  If you want to argue do it elsewhere.

Thanks, N.

That said, I think you did a great job arranging the RTP battlers around a title menu.  I'm not sold on your game title text, personally.  It looks aliased (i.e. jaggy) and doesn't mesh well with the soft, blended look of the RTP battlers and background screen.  The background has somehow become a little muddy as well.  Oh, personally I like the little smileys, they strike me as little animistic nature spirits, reminiscent of Princess Mononoke for example.
