Hello!

Hello, I am back. Yey. This week I have mostly been working on small objects like crosshair, end screen fonts and so on, but I have remade our start menu and I would love to get outsiders opinion and tips on what you think about it. Constructivly of course! So I will show it to you first, then break it down. Here it is. The menu text will be implemented by the programmers.
So what I have basicially done, for starters, is to change the font to a more clean pixel font due to the clean pixel art we have chosen to use. The last one could have been in one of the first mario games! Remade the stars to pure pixel art like in my earlier post about the sectors of our game. I struggled a lot with inspiration what to do, before I put out the houses around the intended backgrounds for the menu buttons it fell really nude. By doing so I think I have managed to frame in the menu in a part of the game. I feel as it is a sucess. So I came up with this idea to build in the menu in a city of our houses from the sectors. I struggle a bit on the colour of the text and the background for the buttons and I wonder what you reading this think of this? On the earlier one I also had star animations which makes it a lot more alive and better looking, I had no time to finish this to this post but it I is something I feel vital for making the start menu atleast feel a bit more alive. However, the planet in the background are made with real clean pixel art I have heard from some that it does not feel like pixel art. Here I am split due to the clean type of pixel art we have choosed to use through out the game. But I do get there point and have not quite yet figured out how I shall takle the problem. I feel that it is less of an nuisance now that the main meny are covering most of hit. But this is something I must consider. The project is now getting in to its later stages and we have our pre beta tomorrow and are closing in on our feature freeze. It is hard to tell how the outcome will be. We will see.
Til next time, sleep well. Morgan
