Title screen for an Atari ST game project that is currently not continued.

Edit: I looked at several photographs of galaxies to get an impression of how they look. Didn't use a particular one as reference though.

Thanks for all the nice comments ! And thanks for all suggestions as well.

A word about the light. I know its not accurate, that is intented. The Logo anf the boards are important parts that would have suffered from a "real" light situation. At least i had not a good solution for that .

The D is easily mixed up with an N thats true but is due to the way round shapes are done in the font + the fading in the lower part. But at least Dutch people have a bonus riddle included .

 

The picture is discontinued as the project, updates may come if it is resurrected.

There's some good and some not so good.

The letters are great, and I like the (nebula?) in the background.

Some issues with the galaxy, It looks a bit chunky and lopsided.

@ KOTT - Umm, yawn?

Manjaman is right about lighting of platform, helmet, space cloud, but not about star :D


user

 Love the letters.

Agree with Manjaman about helmet (glass curveness AA issues) and cosmonaut's face (try see photos as reference, for example).

Don't agree with Manjaman about big shining star (cosmonaut is looking at it and there is asteroid on the other side for balance :p) and pink "space cloud" (personally I like it, it reminds of good old 16-colors graphics).

Overall, cool, but could be even more cool! ^__^

Manjaman (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 3/6/2010 15:08

Very nice textures and colors...

but some issues remain.

The cosmonaut's face and helmet look awkward compared to the space elements (which are great).

The galaxy is the light source, but the nearest platform is lighted from the wrong direction.

The type texture is awesome, but you could have improve its form.

The big shining star feels sooo lonely, you should add more shining stars to balance it.

The pink "space cloud" is too many, it introduces readiblity and lay out issues. You should at least reduce it.

I know you can fix all these issues Congrats for the current piece.

Wow


user
Robinhood (Level 9 Boss) @ 3/6/2010 14:09

Woaaaaaaahhhhhh.  Nice textures.

Word font is very creative, love every damned thing about this.

Only crit I have is to make the white swirl dissapear more gradually on the left and right side.
