Thought I'd try out some new title concepts.

Original:



New (Concept):



I'd still need to work with more than 256 colors most likely, but this is my working idea.

For now, I'm using the base image (without the titles) for the novel adaptation.

Oh, and I started writing the novel adaptation.

Edit: Actually, which do you prefer, with colors or blends?

the blended version looks way better to me! It's clear what kind of "aesthetic" you're going for with the splash screen, and I'd say you nailed that look perfectly. If I were to change one thing it'd be the "The Beginning", which is hard for me to read because it's cursive and overlaps with Entrepreneur while having a color of similar value. Easiest solution I think would be just spacing it out to eliminate the overlap. (edited to include previous post because page breaks are dumb)

Yeah, seconding the blended version, it looks great!

Thanks.

The image is made primarily for the novel adaptation, which will go by a different name, and will be featured initially on Amazon's new Kindle Vella platform (debuting this summer sometime). But if I can get the colors to work on the OHR, I'll work on applying it to the game. Otherwise, it will be the title screen for an upgraded edition of the game.

Here's the image for Vella:



I had to compress the title a little to account for Vella's "circling" of the cover image. "Circling" is when they ask you to upload a 1600x1600 square image and fit it into a circular mask. It's also what I did with the idea of posting a story to Kindle Vella when I found out I'd have to unpublish it if I wanted to publish it on any other platform (like a paperback, for example).

Just wanted to make a quick notation that the serial fiction version of this story, The Hybrid City Entrepreneur, is now live on Kindle Vella. You can read the first ten episodes now, with more coming every Friday, beginning on July 23rd.

Full announcement and relevant information here.

Hope you all check it out and give your favorite episodes a thumbs up! It helps to build its audience (sort of like how Steam's Wishlist helps game designers)!
