Tips and Tricks

• When making a title screen, remember where your new game, continue and game over will be so that you don't place anything like the title itself underneath.

• You do not have to have words in your title. In the chance you choose not to, try to make the picture convey the title.

• Do not spam it with brushes and thousands of images. This will be hard to look at and not pleasing to the eye.
• For a freshness, use a script that loads a random title screen or a animated one.
• Try not to reveal a lot of info in the title such as seeing that player's tombstone
• If you use brushes in Gimp/Photoshop, set the brush dynamics size to random for a depth-ness. This is useful for clouds, stars etc.

Using Brushes Effectively

• If you do not know what a brush is, then a good place to go is Gimps tutorial page at thier website, or something similar.

• Using the Brush Dynamics, a brush can have a random opacity, size and a lot more things
• I reccomend going here for brushes. After extracting them, copy the contents to the brushes folder in the folder that you installed GIMP in.
• Anything can be a brush with the paste option, "Paste as New Brush" This is also a way to create your own brushes
