I'm in need of a bit of help and criticism here. Don't worry about the game itself (development blog in my sig but its brand new), its a project of mine thats been in progress for ages now but it's never actually come to anything. Now it has. The game itself is a survival horror game, and thats all you need to know for this :P. What I'm stuck on now is the menu design. I have three different designs, the last of which is my current version. The game's style has changed a bit after I made the first menu, and I wasn't that happy with it anyway. But I still think it's lacking something. Ignore the change in screen resolution, thats something else that's changed as I've gone on.

V.1


V.2

The background of this title is animated, with the clouds passing slowly behind the buildings.

V.3 (current)

My plan with this design is to have the background flicker in and out of view, as if it is the view from someone's eyes who is close to passing out.

What I really want to know is everyones opinions on the current one and what I could do to improve it, the others are there as comparisons and to give examples of what other features I could add back in if needed. Thanks in advance .
