Start screen.

Some sketches for the start screen. 

1 based on sky level, just the name of the game in the clouds.

2 prob black background and white and red for the pattern
3 Have all the maraes in the background possibly a bit faded out
4 simple old school background. I was thinking we could have mushrooms jumping in each corner if it's not too hard to code wise hv animated start screen.
Or we also could hv the first scene a bit blured and have a name in front and when you click the start button the name will fade out and the scene will fade in.

My groupmates agreed on the 1st one, but Max asked me to add a taiaha beneath the name.

So I came up with two versions. However when I showed it to Tui he said that the font should be changed. He wanted me to use this kind of font:

and that taiaha should be wider on one side. And he also asked me to make it a bit more pixelated.

So here's what I came up with.
