a little modification to the one i showed earlier. Looks good ingame too

In my personal opinion, a mix of d33niz's black background and title combined with pyrozen's Cloud would be awesome.

Feels more ... true to the orginal in some way.

I withdraw my vote on my own work and vote for pyrozen latest submission! I hope you don't mind I just stole your work and are currently using it!

Grimmy · « **Reply #79 on:** 2010-01-15 23:45:12 »

Pyrozen could you do a version of that Start Screen that is sharp. I'm not a big fan of the blur.

pyrozen · « **Reply #80 on:** 2010-01-16 00:24:26 »

here you go grimmy, it's the leasti could do for someone who made my life a whole lot easier

If you want a hires version let me know and i can ZIP all of these up. if you save them off of qhimm you only get a 640x480.

Grimmy · « **Reply #81 on:** 2010-01-16 00:27:37 »

Well using right click view image I was able to save a 1025X768, but if you have It bigger I'll take it. Oh, and thanks for doing that I really appreciate it.

Latest is amazing Pyro as per usual

willis936 · « **Reply #83 on:** 2010-01-18 19:43:47 »

I don't remember which thread I got this from and never knew who the artist was or the actual source but this is the image is what I'm using and I think it ROCKS personally.
Pretty similar to the original (though not exactly). It's just a little conservative, artistic version. Same black background, same buster sword in the ground, just more detail and add sephiroth's masmune.

so long as we're still making submissions:

Click the pictures for download links. The buster sword is Milennia's and the Masamune is the default masamune model in battle.lgp, with the edges dodged to make it look less pixel-y.

EDITED for walls of pics

I can't say that it really fits the goal of Team AVALANCHE (what with the upgrading graphics), but this looks really really good!

Yeah I know I am just throwing stuff out there... Thanks for the compliment I try to get a LOT of emotion in my pic's.

Timu Sumisu · « **Reply #88 on:** 2010-02-18 18:07:23 »

I like it a lot!

Take 3, in the ground with a custom logo:

Edit: Take 4, Shadows added, this one might be a keeper:

What do you guys think?

Can somebody show me how this would look in game? I want to have things oriented so that nothing overlaps with the "New Game" and "Continue" options.

EDITED for more walls of pics

awesome, Thanks!

Hellbringer616 · « **Reply #92 on:** 2010-02-18 22:11:08 »

titeguy, what res did you render that at? Also, I think you need to stand up the swords a bit more. They seem leaned down away from the screen

Covarr · « **Reply #93 on:** 2010-02-19 00:11:32 »

A little thing about light source. With the shine on the sword where it is, it seems like the shadows ought to be a little further off to the right.

I tried to get the angle the same as in the original, but it is pretty steep. They are leaning away from the screen a little, especially the masamune.

Hm, I tried forever to decide upon a good way to orient the shadows, but it just wasn't clicking.

What I might do is stand them up more, but increase the resolution of the file so that the swords don't overlap with the menu text, thanks for the input.

EDIT: Okay, completely redone: Swords are now 100% proportional (suprisingly enough, the actual masamune model isn't that much larger than the buster sword model) and shadow is consistent with lighting. Also made ground color resemble original and increased resolution to 1600x1200, input is appreciated:

Worth noting: the masamune's size is tremendously inconsistent throughout the game. I wouldn't worry too much about that.

titeguy3 · « **Reply #96 on:** 2010-02-19 19:36:08 »

This is true.
Alright finally, lucky number 7, color adjusted again, added cracks. This one's 1280x960, I think the swords are just the right size:

This is far better, because now there's no longer an awkward straight edge on the base of the blades. However, moving to, say, some kind of grey gravel rather than brown earth for the surface might look even more impressive. Just my two cents.

I was going for that in the first few renditions, but to me it just had a freaky Left4Dead kind of feel to it.

sl1982 · « **Reply #99 on:** 2010-02-19 21:10:05 »

In my opinion i think we should scrap the logo on the top. Will give it more of an original feel to it.
