Copyright Sign Update

I have talked with the team. They told me that they do not want the logo of company next to the copyright. After much thinking and I found out that the logo and copyright symbol is similar and will cause confusion so and I agree with them and remove the copyright sign. Now it just @ Alt F4. All right reserved.

Music for the title screen

Finding the right music for the title screen. First I try finding car chase like score. However after much searching I feel the music will to match with the title screen but can match the in game chase music. So look for music that feel that much greater will happen when to press start. The music should fit with the world without creating much distraction to the viewers and aid them to understand the world of the game. I found music that has fast space spin to it, that show it a chasing game. This music will work if the title screen represent the chase itself instead of pre-chase moment. We still use the music if we remove the animation and used a still image of the game. But I decided that, we go with the other direction because we can break conventional expectation of gamers.

And and place into the title screen as such. I have 2 version. 1 under the press start or keep it at the side; bottom right.

Title Design Tweak

After analyzing our current title design and I wanted make some tweaks to make it more attractive and more better. Changing the color of the title screen. The colour below is to dull and blends into the environment. The goal was to make the title pop out. So I decided to ask the team to tweak the color. Make it more bright. Now the title words are more bright and will pop out. Changing the Badge of the title screen. I looked at the badge and feel it does not fit in the world. It looks too childish and the badge does have much detail. So I ask the team to change it. The change to me made more nicer. More real. And fits with the design of the car. Change from rendering the title in the game to putting in in Post-Production. Our current test shows that when render in game. It looks nice but towards the right side of the image near the badge feels blur. The title needs to be seen clearly, thus I decided to change in and ask the team to put in post. The title
