Andor's Trail

Hi everyone,

I just discovered your great game a few days ago. Thank you all so much for making this!

I noticed that the graphics generally are great but that the menus and the game logo have received a little less attention.
Since I felt like playing around with some new techniques in PS I made an Andor's Trail logo and some graphics for a main menu.

* I purposefully tried to make the logo bright and sort of arcade-game like, a bit 'graphics-gimmicky'.
* Based the menu on greys and reds like the current one. The style is a bit different from the pixelized look of the in-game graphics, but I think it should be possible to work from this.
* I don't know how strongly you feel about the shield and swords emblem (I don't think it is all that wonderful, sorry ). Included it in one of the example pics in any case.

* The menu screen graphics is presently designed only for 800*480 px, this will have to be improved, of course.
* It should be possible to construct the full menu screen from the files in the attached .zip.
* There is also a .psd file with layers if anyone wants.

Hello and thank you for your comments. Somewhere here in this forum there is a topic for such design. You should check them out. Don't worry about this topic because Pyro or neyko will move this to the other topic. But good job how would your design look in land scape?

I totally forgot about this, but is there any chance the devs are going to implement one of those screens? I remember some really stunning designs are there, the current opening screen isn't much better than version 6...

Merovingian, nice work! I like the font and the background but the buttons at the bottom seem a little out of place on that screen. And yes, definitely check out the Title Screen post where a lot of other suggestions have come in for this. You may get some ideas and with the quality of your work could potentially come up with something even better.
