With Multimedia Fusion 2 being in my future(considering ordering it on the first of July) I figured it's about time to do what I promised I would do. Continue ArcaneTale, once I know that I can port it into MMF2 and give it a major performance boost, and some extra tweaks that were originally not possible.

My first major update for ArcaneTale is the fallowing, a completely new title screen that replaces the original old black title screen and rather crappy logo:

Rather then just showing a screenshot how ever, I thought it would be important to test out how the title screen performs on other computers:

The main reason I am making a post is because I'd like some comments or improvements that I can make, and I'd also like some performance reports to see how it runs for everyone else. Thanks

Nice. But i think it needs a little more atmosphere and life. The foreground is a bit empty, and the scroling is a bit too fast... or at least I think so.

It looks great to me - I think the scrolling rate's fine. And the music goes well with it.

Looks really great, very detailed graphics i must say.
Nice music also!

But, to make it even better you could add some charaacters like animals(birds, wolves) or humans that inhabit the world.

If you can read, you'll know that he's just testing the performance of the title screen on other computers.

Thanks for the comments.

Skydragon, things like birds, other people, and animals will be in the actual online game, things I don’t want to spoil by dumping them all into the title screen. So I'm trying to keep the title screen nice and relatively empty putting aside the level detail. Thanks for the suggestion though.

PS: Still hoping to get some performance comments(good/bad).

Ran as smooth as a standard MMF application

If this isn't 256 colours, i suggest you add a few more colours into the dithering... it all just seems a bit too dotty in my opinion, might just be how my monitor displays the colours though. Another minor adjustment would be the flowing grass and stuff seems 1pixel above the ground all the time? Maybe I'm wrong though.

Very nice work

You don't need to respond aggressively to a misunderstanding.

I just didnt like the way he replied.
Like insulting me for not being able to read, when it was he that misunderstood the whole thing... Just made me angry, thats all...

And yes, the game worked just fine.

Gasp!

This is beautiful, BrandonC. I love it. The graphics look good, the music is very good and the title screen runs smoothly.

Can do, I'm actually working on a bunch of graphical updates, so that will hopefully be one of them DD.
