Tree Soul Kingdom - New Download Link

Funny enough, the design style of the title text is that there is a darkness/shadowing texture in the middle letters of your text. Funny enough, the background image is also darkest there, with the tree shadow and etc. (also, the combination with the text shadow emphasizes this: note how the lighter letters look rather good with the text shadow) Because of this, it's considerably darker than the rest of the text, making the eyes focus there and note it's hard to read. How to fix this? eh, not sure, as the texture of the text does add something to it.

The black line and by robin etc. lines are very badly done/included because EVERYTHING ELSE has color, shape, texture, etc., while these are just pure black with no style/texture, making them really stick out in the image, making them look like you added those as an afterthought.

Ok I will make everything over. No I can use the same font with another gradient or color, so dont say the above text can't be fixed! I will make the "by robin etc" look nicer, and I will delete the line.

Thanks a lot.

Ps. once I am done I will put up a poll so peopel can vote on how good it is, becasue I think it might be almost complete when seing some ratings. So long as it is easy to READ.

EDIT: Here are the new one, in three phases:

Spoiler: 1st one

Spoiler: 2nd one

Spoiler: 3rd one

there you go!

Ps. I see now that maybe I need th change the demo font, different saturation is not nice to the eye, at least when having those textures. am I right?

im for the first one, it looks really neat. 2 things id like to say at last: first, try to put the letters 'ree' under the 'T' of Tree. 2nd, try putting the whole text on a simple black background

 

[action]

definitely getting somewhere! I have to ask though, is the Demo text font really necessary? You seem to be keeping it for some reason :P I think it'd look better as some sort of simple sans-serif font

 

[9robin3]

Seki: the ree under the t? Can u explain

Action: well maybe not but i need to separate demo and full game. I can use the same font to it. Shall i put something behind the TSK text to make it clearer? Btw i would love if you played the demo too

 

[SekiRaze]

yes i can explain. you have the Word ''Tree'' inbetween the T and the R is a space, unneccesary space. so what you do is following: move the letter 'R' and the 2 following 'E''s more left. so the serif of the T is inbetween the mid of the 'R'. i cant explain better :D

 

[9robin3]

Ok will do. I saw it too.. But what about the demo font? ?shall I make it the similar font as the others=

 

[9robin3]

Heres a new TITLE SCREEN: changed the demo text too:

Spoiler

*Seal of Approval here*

 

[9robin3]

Is it good?:D thanks

 

[RadethDart]

As a friend, please change the title completely. You can't have that image as the background for starters. Uhg, I have been watching the progress of this and I can't take it anymore...dude, please make it more simple.

You do not have to use that of course, but I am showing you how much cleaner you can make your title. I don't like to sound harsh and think I am better than everyone, but I am trying to save eyes and help you out a bit. If you would like anything done, I can try to help out.

The game looks way too good for that title screen.

 

[action]

amen.


You can still use a custom font - within reason! Crazy fonts and textures will get you nowhere.

I'm downloading the game now to actually play it, because all this thread is at the moment is discussion about the title screen, which while useful, seems a little unfair for a completed game! I'll let you know what I think of it.

Lol, don't judge it by the title screen, the game rocks! ;D Great story, but I was just trying to help out from a graphics stand point on fixing that title screen. Just please don't go with a crazy background for the game, guys.

 

[9robin3]

Exactly title screen is not all in a game! Btw i wont use a more simple font because when i did people said it was boring.

Wyatt: thanks, but the demo will have the oldest title screen so you know.

Darth: thanks! which graphic stand point? Wasn't it just good? Is the background bad?

Please explain Thanks

I'm a bit busy at the moment but I'm going to write up a full review of this next week some time, because I actually really enjoyed this (for my own reasons) and it's actually inspired me to play more RPG Maker games. I think the effort that's been put in here is outstanding, even if the end game could be polished more.

 

[9robin3]

Thanks a lot Wyatt! I'll look forward for your full review

Btw what do you mean by END GAME? Where the DEMO ends? I wanted to make it abrupt because of the "excitement"

What do you think of the OBJECTIVE LOGS? Are they overused?

Hinestly, after reading Wyatt's and Radeth's comments i decided to try this game, but i'm disappointed really. Story so far is pretty cliché, a lot of writing errors and the mapping is sometimes terribe (like those custom trees in the starting town, some fit while others look terrible).

 

[9robin3]

Oh too bad...writing errors? Grammatic errors? And story cliche omg who cares. It actually gets better... Which trees looks bad and why?
