I tried to keep the design very simple by using a minimalistic color sheme. 800x600 is the requested solution which this game and all pixel art is based on. I like to keep the border because it fits the new skin adamaix created.feline monstrosity wrote:Try it without the border. Just have the title and the map. I don't like the border, because I prefer simpler designs and it also restricts the resolution (if you have it fullscreen at a high resolution it's just gray outside the border).
As you can see the login wallpaper and the login menu fit very good together. Why give up the border if we can have this harmonic composition of two already existing visual elements?
Len once wrote something like "we should start to see maps as compositions" or something like that. That philosophy isn't just important for maps (which still look very patchwork-like). It's also important for the whole visual game design. I think we always should keep that in mind.
