Maps, Manors and Madness #2
A Progress Report


Submissions
All maps are now in! I've still a few of my own to finish, and have one or two that have been harder to join with the others (looking back, I really should have given more instructions when it came to doors. ^.^; )

I have had to edit a few maps - slightly - for story purposes. Speaking of, I was very surprised at how those maps with cutscenes fit so well together, story-wise. It made adding the story a lot easier, but I ended up having another set-back thanks to the last map I received which came with a very juicy story built in. This story also fits with the rest but I've had to do some quick thinking to match it all up. All told, the story should be interesting... :D

Release
Now, the release date will be off by a few days - I've had a few setbacks with my time thanks to the dreaded Real Life. Things like dog-sitting, persistent headaches and visitors have eaten it up like no-ones' business, so it may take a few more days to finish.

Then there'll be a few days for the beta testing. If all goes well, a day of fixing errors and finally, a release by weeks' end.

Your Help
To make the job a tad easier on me I've a few things I'd like to ask you all for. The first is patience. The rest are a bit more specific. Currently the project is in need of:
- A title screen: It should have 'The Here and Now of Yesterday' prominent, but also a small 'MaMaMa 2011' somewhere. Preferably with a manor of some sort, and rather dark, but it's up to whomever decides to make it.
- A title image for the Game Page - again with the title prominent and MaMaMa 2011 somewhere small.
- A picture with the credits included. This includes the list in the spoiler. If anyone can think of any credits I've left off, please mention it!

Watch out that the aspect of the front tower is basically funny, which explains the position of the text, and can be interesting?

ok, here's the background :

Funny AND scary, but isn't that what halloween is? (Then, once you're in, you're in.)
That picture is really good, except it doesn't look like a manor at all... this one kinda does. - Again, thoughts?



Edit: "Fixered" I toned down the font a little. But I've already said why I like it so that's all I can do for now...
Edit: Damn you, McGee! You don't have to quote my whole posts, I know who/what you are talking to/about!
I'd definitely go with that one, alterego.
Since no one except Liberty knows the layout of the whole manor, I think it's best to cloud the building.
It also adds more mystery and creepiness!

(The fact is mine's not a manor, it's a castle) pretty good, reeeally foggy, but I suppose that's ok.

I don't mind chana's castle pic. As for alterego's latest attempt, the actual picture is fine, but I dunno about that font. Doesn't have the right feel to me, somehow. 'Tis but my opinion, though.

Picture is actually pretty really good , text is still (IMO) terrible.

I still like my original too, even though I recognize it's more "stylized" than "high-res".
Do you have a version of your title screen that isn't horribly artifacted by converting it to jpg?

(no. and the cause of the artifacting is not jpg conversion.)

No clue, but I have my suspicions.
The Here and Now of Yesterday in time for Release Something '11, maybe?
