[Request] Title Screen

[LaDestitute]

I recently got back into production of my game and have gotten up to the decision of making a custom title screen...but I realized I am terrible at drawing on the computer not by hand (can't afford a tablet right now anyway) so I am asking for someone to create a title screen for me. For information, my game is based off of the Sonic series; specifically themed around Chao so here's a link for more info. Spec wise, I need a title screen around the size of 640x480. Also, since I don't have anything in mind; surprise me! But, I hope it is above-decent first.
Thanks in advance.

Okay, so I thought I'd give this a quick bash just to see what I could come up with, it's not really finished, and I can make changes;

Spoiler: Tell me what you think

If you want me to change anything, post here and I'll get back to you in the morning since I'm off now

PS. Yeah I did the Chao's head myself, lol.

It looks excellent Jbrist. Mind adding a background to it? Doesn't have to be anything complex but some artwork would be nice. For example, some Chao playing in a field. You don't have to use that example though.

I'll see what I can do with it.

Edit---

Okay so it's freezing here and I can't keep my hand still enough to draw anything custom, so I decided to take a look on google images to see if there's something I could use...

Spoiler: If you don't like it, or have something else in mind, just say so...

I blurred it because it's taken from the dreamcast games so doesn't look too good, and I think that it puts more emphasis on the actual logo since it's in the foreground, however, if you have something else in mind, or want something custom or whatever, you'll have to go into detail about it since I'm not the greatest when doing backgrounds (I usually just have a logo on a black background and that'll do me, lol...)

Could I maybe suggest having an evented titlescreen at all? so you could just have the logo and have chao's walking around on a map or whatever? If you want to opt for that, I'd be happy to help if you have any difficulties

 

[LaDestitute]

Looks good. I was going to event it anyway with selectable options...still need a way to adjust text speed and volume or I might have to remove those options.

 

[Jason]

Well text speed and volume all depends on the scripts you're using since the default message system doesn't have either, lol.

Also, Jbrist, do you mind redoing the title screen; I found a better copy of the background.

That's actually how it started out, but when I put the logo over it, it didn't look right, which is why I blurred it, but I'll show you it without the blur anyway, I'll edit this post in like, 2 minutes.

Edit---

Spoiler: Personally I think it looked better with the blur, but obviously it's your call, lol

 

[LaDestitute]

Well, could you blur it a little bit? Not so much that it looks horrible, but so the logo stands out.

 

[Jason]

So something inbetween the two so far, right?

Edit---

Spoiler: So the first one was blurred by 10px, this is by 5...

 

[LaDestitute]

Perfect. Thanks!

No problem, now get to work on your game! D:
