It's an homage to the "Login Screen" from secret of mana
Even more similtudes with Square games :)

Seriously, I like it. And the subtitle too "...in development" :lol: hope that dissuades people from keep asking when we will have more maps, monster, items and whatnot. Just joking.

I'm fed up with this -> :roll: <- stupid emoticon. People here use it at the first opportunity.
That happens when someone puts a image without resizing and the link just following it, and the links text is almost the same as normal text. Time to change the css already.
Poor kinetic, pushing the quote button sure was a tremendous effort.

PS: and before someone comes saying "but you used it too..." yes is true, but i can assure you it was not in a bad way or context, a behaviour that is sadly frequent in the forums to my regret.

Well, I'm sorry it annoyed you...
I didn't mean it to look like I was calling you stupid or anything... I'm a nice guy that likes to play around alot so I was just playing when I did that...
Maybe I should've put the wink instead since it's my favorite and doesn't look offensive. :wink:

Ok kinetic nevermind. Maybe it went a bit of hand. No problem :wink:

Crush: looks nice. I think though that it should have less saturation, it being a background an all. Maybe add a subtle bottom-top gradient?

Isn't that obvious? :?
I suppose he meant the "The Mana World" text, it being green-on-green.

Actually I prefer the big text like it is right now. The only changes i would do are:
- having the shadow moved a bit down and left from its current position.
- Make the decay of the shadow a bit larger.
- Enhance the light points (actually more like lines) on the letters. Start from your example using pixel-art-style if you feel like it.

This way you enhance the contrast without recurring to a black borderline (which i don't think it would look right in this case).
Add some cracks and dots here and there as you do in the tiles (i.e.: pixel art).

Do you have the *.xcf, Crush?
:wink:

Is the opening graphic worth nine pages of debate?
