Just to start with, if this is wrong forum and should be moved im sorry...
Hello I am looking for some who are pretty good at making Title Screens with the name of the game and with the New Game, Continue and Exit at. Since i don't really know what i should use it would be great with advice, or if any got the time make it for me ^^'
I may be an artist (and not a perfect or awesome one), but for a title screen, you need to look at a lot of the RPG styled games. For example, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross have objects in their title screen that has nothing to do with the actual game (sort of, as CT uses a clock, but the clock isn't an intricate part of the game, it just hints that the game revolves around time) . Try not to get confused with a lot of RPG Intros and RPG Title screens. RPG Intros are generally flashy and make it look like they're in an arcade machine; begging to be played. While a Title Screen needs to be calm and allow the player to perform the correct actions.
Images of Popular RPG Game Title Screens.
Chrono Trigger --- Not flashy, lots of dead space, but it doesn't distract the player (or give the player false assumptions about the game)
Chrono Cross --- Same deal, but it uses a looping video of the ocean in the background. It's not distracting at all, nor gives false assumptions
Breath of Fire 2 (I wanted to show you 3 but no one's got a screen of that)
Final Fantasy 2
These are good examples as these games also use sprite-based actions in order to play the game. The best mantra here would be "Keep it Simple (Stupid)" --- (I was taught K.I.S.S. But most places leave out Stupid now)
