So you know how I posted a title screen yesterday that most people loved? Yeah well, F that! I had it... "re-maid"... get it?? ... Sorry, I just came off a marathon commentary session with Taxcup. My mind's not quite... neither "here" nor "there."

So the previous title screen was good and all, is what I think the consensus ended up on, but a few of you pointed out it wasn't really "Re-Maid", and Taxcup and I had to agree. 


So this is what's up now.


The background picture won't make an appearance in-game (i.e. outside of the title screen) - it's actually strictly speaking not Erika on the picture, but a fan art of some anime (?) character that lasterk uploaded on his Patreon, that he agreed we could stick in there for no extra cost. The face will be mostly blocked out by the menu in a sort of suggestive way... and no, I don't mean the menu will look like a bunch of dicks by that, Christ, you guys! I just mean that... oh, never mind, you'll see it yourselves soon enough.


We're not scrapping the previous design pattern entirely - we'll most likely use it for another upcoming title instead (one that's properly sci-fi).

While I had no issues with the "sci-fi" font, I must agree; this does look better, or I should rather say, more fitting. Nice work, gents. :)

the only real gripe (if you can call it that) with the first title screen, was that the font kind of looked a little Soviet bloc.

I find this one ugly and generic. Also, isn't it misleading to use art that will not appear in the game? If you keep this version of the title screen, at least use the font from the previous version. This one looks like comic sans.

Yeah, there's bound to be people who prefer the previous screen... but we like this one better, even though it is more generic X(. It'll look a lot more interesting with the menu in place too, trust me! I think it's pretty much the standard in Japanese VN's to have a unique picture for the title screen/cover, so I don't see how it could be seen as misleading.

I 98% agree! The only thing holding it back for me personally is that I think it would look better if the " : " was the same as "RE" font and solid black.

Well, I am going to disagree with most people here. This one is seriously bad. The color scheme makes the smaller words nearly impossible to read against the background. You have a light background with light lettering on top. That is bad design. Don't use that orange color, stick with the red, and change the blue to red as well. Also the way you did that design on the word MAID is just cluttered forces the brain to strain to make it out. This is not what you want when trying to sell your product. You want the title to be distinctive, yet easy to ready and the color palette should not hurt the eyes or make you strain to read the writing.

I have to agree with this. The text overlaps on itself and it's damn difficult to read. I also don't understand the point of using unrelated fan art for an unrelated series and I have to wonder where the legalities lie there, but I digress. Visually, this is far, far worse than the first version of the title screen.
