I can send you it all finished using the 2nd font. If you wish. And yes I used a gradient, outerglow gradient, and colorburn.

busbuzz, just curious for input wise, what don't you like about the font, especially compared to yours (i mean as in what do you like about yours that isn't in the other)

Well lots of movies use interesting styles of font for horror movies, i've personally watched about 25 different ones, about 6 of which were zombie-esc movies. Rest were either psychopathic horrors, sci-fi horrors, or and even some paranormal horrors.

Here are two more, one font of which is the same that Bus used earlier.

If you want colonial, take a moonlit evening shot of a colonial town in the dead of night. Perhaps a full moon. Make it so you can't see ANY zombies. That's a little thing we like to call foreshadowing. Add some dark fog around the edges of the title screen, to make it seem like the player is focused on a spotlight, as if the rest of the picture off-screen were pitch black, enveloped in total darkness. Also, transparant shadowed versions of the text in the background acting as a very unobtrusive shadow effect would look really pro, IMO.  :thumb:

I agree - I'm not a fan of the angry librarian background (I think it makes it look/feel like a B Movie) - I'd go with something more like an empty town, all misty and stuff, or if you really wanted to be adventurous, a town during daytime.  Nobody expects the Sp---daylight!

This was my favorite picture from that guy's site:

To bad he is using that stuff for his comics.

I personally don't like what you did to it, the backgrounds were supposed to be subtle thus the title didn't need to be super flashy. I was trying another thing but I can't get it to work right now, so i'll mess with it another time.

@karasawa: and @Tindy: i see what you two are saying!  :thumb: good ideas

ill try doing that,
first i need to get a background picture that is similiar to what you were saying ....... lol =]

@axerax: ya i saw that picture too
i wanted to use it so bad but that guy looks to futuristic compared to my game =[
lol no big deal

ya i was on that guys site for like an hour yesterday lol i couldn't find like one piece i didn't like

i wasn't a big fan of his songs tho

-----------ADDED-------

I was thinking more along the lines of karasawa and Tindy. What would you guys think of something like quintessence where the game title screen is just made with events, but not only that the background being made in rpg maker?

do you think that that might be pretty cool? of course id have to make a good enough panorama to go with it to match scenery but w/e

busbuzz, just curious for input wise, what don't you like about the font, especially compared to yours (i mean as in what do you like about yours that isn't in the other)

That the text is not treated correctly, It doesnt feel right, Axerax is one of the ppl i respect in this forums when it comes to graphic resources but in this particular example and only in the text i dont like it ^^

the glow doesnt fit the font texture.

You know what, I do agree. however I don't really want to use a stroke since I do with everything else. I felt i'd try a glow, but it may work better if the font was embrossed and textured to give more of a feel of blood.... hmm like so...

See what I mean? It's more subtle here, than with the gradient inner and random, but hard edged glow I was using before.

didn't look good at all
