Might I suggest that if you plan to make a titlescreen based on screenshots of your jDoom map; that you take said screenshots in Doomsday rather than DoomBuilder as they will be a lot prettier to begin with.

Your map needs a bit more evilness in it (satanic detail and that).

yeah it will look a lot more evil and interesting when i go for a test run in jdoom, but any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome :)

Bottom shot is my personal favourite the other two look well they just have weird combinations of textures.

And align your textures.

Nice, but blue fog and brown sky don't mix very well. Brown fog would work a whole lot better there.

??? fog? Ha i do believe thats a problem with JDOOM. I dunno why it generates it, but fortunately its over long distances :P

PS. ichor, would you like to beta test it?

Fog in Dday can be turned on/off using the console command "Fog on" and "Fog off".

Dday's fog is turned off by default, unless a definition is being loaded that adds it to a map(s). In which case it is turned on for the map(s) that the definition effects. If you turn fog on, using the console, for a map which doesn't have a definition loaded for it, you will get a pretty thick grey fog.

The JDEP is the only official add-on that includes a fog definition. Obviously the colours said definition uses for each map are based of the original ID maps.

My criticism was/is constructive. Just put more detail in some of the first (Doombuilder) screenshots. And it does look quite evil in the JDoom screenshots, hooray.

But why would you want to use screenshots as intro/title/inter screens? Isn't it too cheap? Why not try a painting, a comic book scene, a fine texture?

There should be a fog or fade feature which recolours the background/sky to the darkest colormap entry available for the light level. Simulate that the sky image is part of the game, at infinite distance to the player, and give it a light level according to that. I'm pretty sure there are numeric sector light levels above a certain amount which never fade into black by the distance. I hope you readers got this.

noooooooo i didnt mean your critisicm aint constructive, i was pointing out for people reading the thread :P

also, people like to see screenshots before they participate in projects. Of course its not going to be a player screen, i want something like this, with the same colour:-
