Progress on my online game

Soooooo, I had some time today and managed to clean up the login screen for Aeon Online a bit. Here's a screenshot of what I have so far:

The character on the right has a shining effect, kinda like flash animations and the menu uses the wobble script to give it a bouncy feel. I kinda like the widescreen look. I think I'll keep it that way. The room is set to 1024 x 480 and set to fullscreen. I like to test on older machines whose resolution only go up to 1024 x 768 so I had to make it low enough for those computers.

I'm not sure what else i'm going to add. I'm thinking about having an icon somewhere stating whether the server is online or not and possibly a news feed sent by the server to the client. But at the same time I don't want it to be too cluddered. The artwork should be visible. Hmmm… what to do…

Here's the title screen. It fades in and out, then takes you to the login screen.

Pull out menu? Or just go to the news after log in.

Looks nice.

The first thing I thought when I saw this was:

"LIIIIIIINK."

In a more feminine way plus different coloration. Then I found out the "hat" was hair, and I didn't see Link anymore.

Looks really cool, nice art. The green/lime on the other hand…

Aeon sounds like Aion.

The green color looks a bit out of place.

Maybe a tasteful red? Or a crimson?

Well, the title screen uses lime and blue, so I used the same colors on the menu.

I could always make the menu a lighter blue, to match the sky in the background…

Why the same abstract circle-ish brushes in almost every picture you show us?

Because I love abstract art.

Here's a modified menu. Different colors. And I fixed the ear.

Fuck everybody, that looks fucking awesome.
