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.

First thing I thought was "hot damn cleavage".

Then I was like "huh, I wonder if that looks good."

Okay, I'm close to my final mockup.

Oh yeah, breasts. I didn't notice that.

The colour looks good to me.

Very nice!

The only thing that bugs me is the fact that while the character is very nicely drawn, the whole picture is ruined by adding random abstract stuff to it, and the badly aliased birds.

@Xemic: The birds are badly aliased? I believe that's an outline.

Glen 14 years, 3 months ago

It's a copy of the bird, slightly larger, and blurred, laying under the birds layer to make it appear as if it's glowing white. A blurred outline, yes.

Oh, well the outline makes it look worse imo.

New color looks better.
