Title screen Scrub
In this update, I have decided to change the TitleScreen Graphics, I had be meaning to do this before but had not got around to it previously. I decided to go with a Sonic and Knuckles look, with Mario and Sonic as mono coloured characters. One issue I had when creating them, was the dual colours. First off I tried with having Sonic being blue and Mario being red, just like the backgrounds, but this didnt work for Mario. I then chose a Red and Blue that ended up being too dark on my TV with the actual SNES running the game. So had to rebuild all the Title Graphics again using slightly brighter red and Blue. I think this looks ok now, maybe it is still a bit dark? Any how the next issue was that I am using Mode 1 for the title screen. With Backgrounds 1,2 being 16 colour and 16x16 tiles and Background layer 3 being in 8x8 tile mode with 4 colours. So had to then decide which Layers each graphic part should be on. First off I created the Text in Inkscape, then converted it to 16 colours using Gimp, then tweeked the colour palettes to make them SNES friendly. Each piece of text was first going to be above the background bottom layer, so could be transparent. But I later decided that I wanted 2 giant rings animating also. So decided to move them down to the bottom background layer. This meant that I needed to loose a colour from all text labels, and instead give them a coloured background. And the Duo text had to loose 2 colours, as it was going to straddle the colour divide, being centre screen. Overall I think it looks better than the previous Title Screen, which used a converted Image from Sonic and Knuckles on the Mega Drive. So wasn't original work from myself, where as the Silhouettes are my own. Mario's head is converted from a Colouring book picture I found and tweeked, where as Sonics is from an Image I found online and doctored. Just thought I would share this with everyone, incase they would like to know how I created this new Title Screen for the game.
