WK05 Title Screen Concept

I picked the first three title screens that came to my mind when searching for good ideas of a title screen. MegaMan 2 was iconic for me because of the great intro music, as well as the background story leading up to the actual title screen as the camera pans up the building. I never played OOT, until it came out for the 3ds as a re-release, but I could easily see from the moment the title screen started playing what makes it so nostalgic and amazing for the people that played the original as a child. It just gives an amazing feel of the adventure to come and on how high of a grand scale it will be.
 The title screen I ultimately decided to resemble my actual screen closest too was Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix. Throughout all of the kingdom hearts game, there is always the same thing: The title, the options to start the game, and the iconic picture that becomes much more personal to the player after completing the game. It is a very simple title screen, but at the same time is very powerful to the players excited for the journey to come.















 This is the start of my title screen. It would fade out to this, and just have the scroll in the background. The actual background was inspired by The Legend of Kora.
 The title "The Tale of Tora" would begin to fade in as well, with the text that I decided it should have.
 With the title faded in, the three options then appear, and I decided to use a sort of brush stroke that I made to be the option mover. This will move with your control stick deciding which to click.
This is the final screen, showing the movement from start your adventure to continue adventure. Also fire will come out of the dragons mouth and also be a separate animation.

  1. I love this title page because the statue stands out so boldly against the dark background. The dragon breathing fire is going to be a great animation. As a small touch if that smoke can move as well I think it would be just enough to add a little extra to the page.

  2. I liked your idea of fire going out of the dragon's mouth, you can also decide to put or not smoke coming out of his nostrils. Also remember that the fire gets out of the mouth fast and then disappears in a few seconds it doesn't stay or go back to the dragon's mouth. Really nice thoughts for your animation.
