a zombie game eh?

Just my ideas you don't have to take them:
Add like an zombies shadow of the right side....and ya....
and then the word rpg.....get rid of it.....it just makes it seem less spooky/creapy/ahhhh!!!...it's like when you go to see a really "scary" movie, but then when you watch the movie, all you see is this monkey scratching his head....ya not interesting...unless you going for...it's a game relax type thing...then leave it...if not....then make the word rpg faded with blood...

but it looks realy nice!!!

lol the idea that i had for the actual rpg part was more of a skill type thing like accuracy, building skills, healing, farming etc.

lol you wouldn't be gaining much health or stamina (instead of magic) when you level up but instead for example to successfully shot a zombie in the head with one shot your  pistol skill or w/e need to be at like 10. but every shot would take away some stamina

lol and the main thing that i was going to do with the game was you need to rescue a certain number of people, kill everysingle zombie, or survive for like 1k days. And you can recruit people that you recue to gather materials for you so you dont have to etc.

lol and i also thought to have the game sort of like a sims so you have to eat, drink etc. or you wont function and your stamina will not regain. etc.

Please don't begin every sentence with "lol". Although that honestly did make me laugh seeing all of them. Anyway the title right? What I gather just from the title is futuristic, grittiness, not necessarily apocalyptic but definitely not good. Is that the theme of your game as a whole? If so I would classify the title as a success as it has conveyed the mood properly at least to me. Though I think the addition of the word "RPG" is a little demeaning to the title. If you were shooting for realism the attachment of "RPG" degrades that point. I totally skipped xinrua's point but those are my sentiments as well regarding "RPG".

Good luck with your title k3v_man! :thumb:

Reminds me of the Guilty Gear interface a little.

The text pops too much, try to make it mesh with the background more.

I understand what you are saying there about mood, I was going for futuristic but I understand where you are getting that from so thats easily changeable (background). I wanted to keep most of the tilesets that come with the game but add some guns which makes it a bit more futuristic, but idk if the guns will match the scenary. you know?

ya i had originally tried having the text in the background but it didn't really work =/.

I can try removing the drop shadow to see if it helps but the reason why i have it pop out more is becuase the font doesn't watch the background like that. for example the background is like a command station where as the words are like scribbled.

The red outline is way too bright, man.

I would take out RPG from the name there are no games including RPG in the name even being rpg's unless its a well known game non rpg and an RPG is out (Mario RPG). Try changing black to Dark red, or not using red glow. Black with an appropiate gray outile would do the trick, and the blood in the background means the blood of the game, with zombie word its understandable.

as an example look this http://www.residentevil.com/ they dont use red in the text, because it looks weird, instead they use red in the background

I believe i understand what you are saying.

in the resident evil website do you mean after you enter your birthdate correct?

im going to try to find a new background that can fit for a title screen.

If i find a new one ill put a few up. otherwise if any of you find a new/better screen post it

You don't really nead another image! If you like (and if you have a copy of the origional background) I can edit it and make the title a little more attractive for you! :thumb:

That looks pretty red to me, infact Resident Evil is one of many games that uses Red, White, and Black in its color schemes. Umbrella Corporation's colors are red, white, and black. It isn't a bad idea what he is doing, however it does need some work with blendings. You could make it look really good if you used a light gradient on the text, a red color stroke overlay at 50% opacity, then do a pattern overlay using white and red  and blending it with that color overlay stroke.

yes i know they are different size but that is how i found them.

I will try a pattern overlay, and i will try some of the other things you suggested.

But they treat the effects as fire, not as blood. that includes a "yellow" glow and then an orange/red  glow. its not properly red . Hes not trying to get the fire effect, he wants the title to look bloody. What i say is that the best way to do that is use a bloody background and a solid title.

The main resident evil logo is only white with black outline, when they want to change the subject of a title they add certain treatment, in case of umbrella cronicles they wanted the text to look as an explosion, and even the background treatment changes, but its just for the umbrella cronicles concept. If you see the main site concept, the main idea of resident evil is, darkness, blood, night, zombies. Its somehow more accurate to the needs of this title.

So its the main concpt of resident evil what i pretend to be taken as a guide. not the umbrella cronicle concept ^^

I really like these, good job.

I personally think it looks fine. I mean, how often will someone be looking at the title screen, and for how long? However, since we are suggesting, I think some blood dripping from the "Zombie Survival" would touch it up a bit. Or, outline the Zombie Survival with a glowing red drop-shadow.

It still looks good though. The second one you liked is a bit darker, and it appears to be a bit spookier. I like that one better.
