I'm no artist and I'm not sure that I am doing this right. I'm putting together some open source stuff and making some modifications to fit my game's art style. I found a nice looking font to go with a terrific background that fits my game, but the title screen is very important to any game and I would like to do it right.
The game is called Zombie Safe Zone (
the developer log thread can be found here) I started with a simple edit. I put the title in my font on the background. The font has a blood effect, and I am coloring those parts in red.
This seems to be the right direction, but from here I am somewhat lost. I feel like it needs to be more robust, have more polish, or look more "finished". I started adding a darker red and giving a black outline to the letters.
The outline doesn't seem right. I like the darker red where the blood would be "thicker" as it slides off the letters. Any help or suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance for reading.
