Future Perfect Plus continues =)

Hi all!!
Well as said I will continue with the development of this shmup and sharing some insight of the process with you anonymous reader over there, however it would be nice to hear your thoughts in comments or messages, anyway as much as we love arcade let me start with a image I received today, artist is unknown again, please if you know him/her let me know to credit the wonderful art:

So with this said, today you might think what Im going to show is not very impressive, but thats false, every little piece of a game is key element, you miss one and even if the game is fully playable then you are done, people could start seeing your game as amateur work, and even if you are the rookie one, you can make it look really like the work of a pro. So lets see this:

So with the previous said, what on earth Im talking about? Im talking about user interfaces, like title screen or help screen, may sound like a dummy stuff and may sound like the thing you can ommit or leave for later, well it depends on how good is your kung-fu but I recommend you set this interfaces at an early stage so that you start getting the feeling of the overal look. Also avoid plain text, try to make it outstand in some way, like I did here, Im not using any type of prefab, so I make all the buttons and stuff, you have to do that too!! you know what they say, you wouldnt steal a bag, you wouldnt steal a car, stealing a graphic is also stealing, so always make your own sprites/buttons/.../graphics in general, this way your game will look absolutelly unique keep it in mind and never give up =).

I have started working on 2 other projects previously mentioned but not posted here yet, because of their nature I may or may not post about them, however I will continue working on this shmup as said, I hope its helpful and I hope to hear from you =).

Bye!!!

PS Since maybe only robots are reading these posts I may consider making a blog pause if stats keep like they are now, so if you would like me to continue posting about this and other games Im making please let me know, also if you are making mages or are starting into this say so!!
