You need to somehow make the contrast bigger between the letters and image. Can't read it easily at all. Maybe remove the black outlines for something else, or make the font white with coloured outlines.
The artwork is good, but title can be a lot better, its too simple now. I also agree with Neonsz, you have to work on the text, it needs to be read easily and it can't break the "feel" of the loading screen. Maybe you should move that info to a tip when the game starts.
Maybe you should move that info to a tip when the game starts.
I can't do that, because even when I did that, (and I still have it!) everytime a player who hasn't played before, and is a colonial leader, as soon as game starts "I DONT HAVE ANY UNITS!???!!!" and colonists say after 3minutes "what am i supposed to do?" werewolves just "how can i transform?"
Theres no way that will work, (and whoever put AHH! I burnt MY EYES!) as a vote, PM me, remake the loading screen yourself and see if you can do better, because i doubt you can,
Okay, I recreated it, heres what I got, because I tested it in map again, it's not big enough, it's kinda blurry, and the info goes under/behind the loading bar, so heres what I got
@SnyderGuy: Go The new placement for the info text looks better. The title looks a little better, but I think you can take the time to make it more iconic, maybe find a font that looks more like an horror movie's title, I dont know. Also, the "snyderGuy presents" shouldn't be black over a dark background.
Keep working on it, but just dont waste too much time on it, its better to use that time to work on the map itself.
I dont like the text placement. All over the place...also seems to contain high amount of information (maybe too much). the shadow on the moon seems out of place (text one).
I guess what bothers me most is the text...I really dont think loading screens should be super cool. Just the large text blocks all over the place anoy me.
The descriptions for each of the character classes is a bit too verbose, boil it down to the bare essential information. The first thing I think when I see a loading screen with 3 giant chunks of text is "aw geez, they couldn't think of a way to deliver this information in-game?".
Also, I need the photo to be at least around 1700 x 1300, because on my 27inch screen, (which i believe is 1970 x y) Its kinda blurry, even when it's NOT in full screen, (as in stretched on sc2) I will upload the image, (you can use the one I used, or I can give u the file i use to edit it,)
Looks closer to me, but you need to have your name and "presents" as the same color, style, and font. Maybe not necessarily the same size, though.
same font, same color, everything, except size, and the one on the left has a black line, so the middle is darker, -shrugs- and the presents one is italic
I made a loading for my map... How's it look? Please answer in the poll... haha

@Neonsz: Go
I just realized it doesn't look as good, as it does in-game, so maybe just sc2mapster is the prob with that, because I can read it perfectly in game,

Wrong image, sorry
And I forgot to edit the title

Alright, I edited it, but I dont have time to post it, my bus is almost here

LoL
i use that image as wallpaper xDDD the only thing you added to art is the werewolf (that is good, but i would remove those white foot claws)
im with zenx1. there is to much text and the position was way better on first image, letting you to see all picture instead of hide it
You should remove the white claws from the werewolf, and move him down just a bit. Right now, he is hovering above the ground.
You should also remove half of the text. I doubt players can read it before they finish loading.
The title is not very interesting, but not bad either. I'd make it a bit more appealing, while not getting too much.

Heres the next... (updating in like 10minutes)

And Im looking for a font to use for the title,

That ones always cool
Why would you tilt the text like that? looks stupid.
Heres the new one, I won't give you guys the full size image, because it takes too long to upload, so heres the regular one
3 types of text types? cmon man some consistiency.
And the placement is kinda bad. I would probly put the text to more middle or something...now it seems like its placed accidentally not middle.
and yea why is one text a bit right other is a bit left....
These are kind of small things. but since you keep posting I suppose I keep posting too.
Also doesnt that shadow look unnatural? I suppose you placed the text there to get that cool artistic shadow on the moon (and failed at it)
