FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hello everyone,

we have a new competition here. On the IRC #minetest-dev was decided to make a competition for the new main menu.

Here are the rules:
- The newly integrated dynamic clouds have to be part of design
- The design should look good even with disabled menu clouds
- You can also include suggestions for a new Menu layout itself, but only with code for the new menu!


Tipp:
- To disable menuclouds just add "menu_clouds = false" in minetest.conf

In about a week (?) I will add a poll, then the community can decide what conept looks best.


Good luck to everyone!


[Edit 03/28]: Typos

Actually I just tried to improve the main menu of the current dev-Version. So I used the new opportunities and created costum menuheader.png and menusplash.png

Here is my concept for the competition, but without new menu layout yet (maybe added later).

How you have it the menu flat not all in little imgs?

Sry, I don't understand this question. What little images do you mean?

This is mine:

https://github.com/RealBadAngel/minetest
almost up to date tree with tweaked menu

Sound score: Mercury Rain by Skaven (used with his permission)
Background image by Cisoun
Code by me

(no screenie. try it to feel it)

My idea for the menu :

in the front the menu classic, but in the back, in 3D vue of a plain with mountain and ocean view and a little more accelerated sun and night view.
to see the good lighting of the game


what do u think.

Why should I be a moderator to tell other people that they are offtopic?

My vision of it (v 1.1):

PS: Try it on your client before saying there is too much white.

Great ! I'll try this one.
EDIT: Nice, but logo should be the one from menuheader, not in the bg picture. Else when the window is small the logo is below the menu.

Should it be like this? (changed the picture).
*Don't really want default logo, since it has no shadow.
Anyway, here is GIMP file for anyone to play with it.

and developed this but it s like putting

Here is one i made earlier: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/102401091/screenshot_1170520722.png

Inspired by one that sapier did some time back:



Not clearly visible here is that the minetest logo has a yellow halo around it, and the sky is actually transparent so that it will be filled in by the engine's animated menu clouds display. Also available in HDX-flavor. ;-)

IMO this competition became kinda useless, because every game can create its own menu now. So if anyone want supervise this competition feel free to do.

Yes, its still a competition (but a useless IMO), and idk if it need supervision. I wanted point out that i wont do anything on this anymore.

Take a look here: https://github.com/BlockMen/minetest_plus/tree/master/menu. These files costumize the menu. If you dont want/need the moving clouds in background use "background.png" instead of "overlay.png".

here is my menu as I wanted but'm not okay
