I'd go with a screen that represents the main focus of the game. If it's a game where everyone or mostly everyone ends up dead/maimed/insane to cosmic horror, go with the new screen. If it's mainly about the MC and having sexy times with the ladies, I'd prefer a screen that focuses on that.

I agree, or go with a dynamic screen, like start with a sexy screen and change it to a scary screen after a scary scene happens in the game

I agree with this aswell...

mibc9394 Outright showing that screen might throw and turnoff alot of people but maybe as they get into it and get to know the characters, stories and whole game maybe you can show this screen later on.

But I think more important thing here would be to give fair warning to users that what they are getting into as they start the game and what might they encounter because not everyone can digest this/these things and might give negative reviews such as saying they didn't signup for this or similar to this.

And ofcourse you can decide how to go with this, but in my opinion if its like 90-80% focus is MC fucking pretty ladies and 10-20% of the other things then I would say don't show this start screen at all just show warnings that some content will be in the game like that. But if the percentage of that type of content is more than that maybe you can try with that screen, but you will have to take a risk and see how the response is.

I think I will change the title screen. Thanks for all your feedback.

And just to be clear, horror is the spice of the game only. It's still mainly about fucking beautiful girls. I don't want to scare people away

What do you guys think if I make the title menu of the game to be like this? Gore warning

Maybe a bit of afterpolish or an artistic tune on top of the current image. To smoothe the rough blend edges. The clear use of AI might scare potential players off.

Absolutely. This is still a rough sketch

I see what you did here silently updating the first post with these instead of making new post ... Merry Christmas everybody.

Amazing work! they look so good in the christmas outfit! i vote for using this as your main menu and having a system clock check for when its December to have the background change from your normal clothed version to this maybe a slight parallax of the mansion hallway and them as the mouse moves
