What is that nature-themed game by the way? it looks great.
It's an unnamed Wolf Game as a last year project for university. Basically what you see is my work although this is where it goes a bit all over the place. Basically a member on here called Crowbarska made the terrain height maps and then did a little painting. I then took the levels and worked on the terrain and painted them some more. Then he took the first level, Spring, and basically changed it completely so what you see is a combination of mine and Crowbarska's work.
It's an unfinished game and will probably never see the light of day.
* change color of content div to a much brighter grey or try something else completely.
I'll try that sometime.
* remove the background texture of the content div, add some pixel/8bit look to it instead to fit better with your theme.
I guess that makes sense. I added flowers cause they looked nice but I never really thought about a theme. Good idea.
* remove the environmental art glow
Gonna probably say no to this. I like it as it almost makes the line "godly" and divides it up from the rest.
* remove the menu background texture
I had it plain before and it was boring :< Perhaps different shapes or more opacity will make you happy :>
* why did you choose the pixel theme? is it because it represents you(r work) or video games? or is it just because it looks nice? whatever your answer is, try to integrate that answer into the design.
You're right. I chose it cause it looked nice and clean. I never really thought of a theme. Although funny enough, yes, it does reflect my inner gamer.
* i don't think you need to switch the main background (the white rays) actually, I don't feel/think it's going to conflict. Maybe the main background, menu background and content background is creating too much noise when used together?
Maybe...You know I uploaded a PSD above all this. If you want you could mess with it and show me what you think it should look like. I'd appreciate that.
