That's because they are placeholder art. I think we should leave the code i in case an artist comes along. We can always remove them close to feature freeze. Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

The leaves do fit well to the other fullscreen menu screens, I removed them only for the main screen. Another thing: The options and about screen currently scale to (½ screen width × ½ screen height). This looks quite cramped in 800×600, but a larger ratio is too large in widescreen. Should we give them a fixed size (like ~ 600×400) instead? Top Quote

The logo looks better in 800x600 because of the different screen resolution ratio, not the resolution itself. As it looks good in 800x600 which is 4:3 we should aim at having the same vertical distance between the logo and the buttons in 1920x1080 which is 16:9. then it should look pretty much the same as. Not sure however if we could get this to scale according screen height rather than width. Top Quote

We have a high resolution version of the logo in the media repo. I don't know if you have grabbed this yet, but the image should not be scaled up past its maximum resolution. If you have already done that, ignore this comment Edited: 2020-08-11, 13:17 Busy indexing nil values Top Quote

It takes too long to get into the main menu, imho. I would suggest to get rid of the first splashscreen. It shows the old logo and is nothing good for, imho. Instead leave the screen black and put the new logo onto the black background, if feasible at the same position where it will appear in the next screen. Then blend over directly to a new image with menu. Is this doable? Top Quote

The graphics system is initializing and the images are being loaded. We cannot render anything during the second of startup. I find step two a bit superfluous... It takes too long to get into the main menu, imho. You can just skip it with a click or any key I would suggest to get rid of the first splashscreen. It shows the old logo and is nothing good for, imho. Yes it is, this is a very beautiful image! I'm not going to remove that. Top Quote

It takes too long to get into the main menu, imho. You can just skip it with a click or any key The last phase (when the buttons are fading in) is not skippable. It's not a big problem since if one wants to skip the intro they'll likely do it earlier, but still I think it should be either skippable or quicker. EDIT: There also seems to be a small stripe of garbage pixels in the top-right corner of the logo (curiously, only when the window size is 1680x1050). EDIT 2: And the options screen dropdowns don't work. Edited: 2020-08-11, 21:38 Top Quote
