Wk05 Title Screen Concept Phase

The picture above is what I have chosen for my title screen. The title was made very dark to contrast from the light above to highlight the gravity of the situation the diver is in. This is also the reason for the anchor in the corner. As far as animations go, the fish will be swimming around, and the anchor will most likely sway back and forth. The fish will swim in a figure 8, providing a contrast to the dark blues around them. This will help emphasize that wildlife will be a part of the game, included with the starfish above the options.

Above were two different concept images for a title screen. The reason I'm leaning towards the latter image is that it gives a larger scale of how far down the character will fall. This helps to set the immersion of the game right off the bat.

This title screen is one that i really enjoy the animation of. It is simple, but is very nice to look at. The clouds are all moving to the left, giving you the feeling that you are flying. Whats more, the clouds closer to the screen, and the far away clouds move slowly, giving a sense of depth. With fish and other creatures potentially being in the background as well as foreground, i will learn from this when animating them.
