Garland's Quest

[WILL]

Ah you know what? I found this font laying around at work.

What do you guys think? (I might brighten it up or make it glow/animated later on)




This font it's fixed width either, but I believe that it can still work. It just might have some (S)NES-ness to it.

Nice, you might want to make a very slight white outline to it to make it a bit more readable, or make the "paper" a little lighter in color. The contrast is a bit tough to spot.

Yeah I was thinking that for general text or stuff that I want to stand out it would be a bit hard on the eyes.

But for 'wizard doodles' and the like the color is ok.

Actually with a faint light glow around the text it stands out much better.

Heh heh, not bad, WILL The character looks kinda funny

[WILL]

Thanks Bijo!

Kas and I were going for a sort of wacky SMB feel to the 'cast' of characters in GQ. I think hehas done a great job so far. However unfortunately as he has not been around for quite some time, I'm not sure if I can get him to finish off the job. That could mean a lot of things for some of the characters that were not finished. Esp. Garland himself, who if you haven't noticed isn't complete himself.

[size=8px]Damn. Introversion is right, content really does suck! [/size]

Ok here is a quick little mockup of the main menu.

For highlighting I was planning on using the Exit portal effect behind each icon and text.



What do you guys think?

I may add another effect (little twinkly sparkley particles moving upward --common to most 'magic' game effects) instead if it suits the menu's look a lot better.

Looks cool, but it doesn't seem to be symmetrical. Even if this is your intention, I think it would give a more "natural" look if it was symmetrical.

Hey Dirk!

Yeah you're right. It's not a good/final layout, just some visuals get an idea of the lok of the menu. I have to put in a Garland's Quest header in there as well as some kind of Red Ant logo (any takers? It's unpaid! )

What I may do is put the heading outside of the panel to add some contrast to the screen.

[Huehnerschaender]

Red Ant logo? What's that for? Do you own a company named Red Ant?

[Huehnerschaender]

How about this?
