Wk12 Upgraded Project Research

The animated title screen was one of my favorite projects, and I think mine came out pretty good. I'd like to improve upon it even further by giving it a redesign. I think it needs to convey the idea behind my game a little bit better. Professor Nersesian suggested that I try to animate the buttons on the controller, and this is one thing that I will definitely take into consideration when I begin to experiment with it in Photoshop. I also may draw inspiration from title screens of classic arcade games such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. These title screens were really eye-catching and had a lot of different animations going on the screen, and I think my title screen would benefit from having these attributes as well.

Wk12 Maze Texturing Research

My maze is located inside a haunted mansion, so what better game is there to draw inspiration from than Luigi's Mansion? I used a creepy-looking pattern for the wallpaper on the walls of my maze, but it does not really scream "haunted mansion" as much as it should. I think if I use a wallpaper texture that is similar to the ones in these screenshots, my maze will be closer to my original vision.
