Cat Game - Devlog #2: Start Menu Upgrade

After working on the start menu in my first devlog, I decided that it needed more work.

The old version was not looking very good, so I started improving it.

This time, I mainly focused on the visual style of the menu.

First, I changed the background and made it a night time scene.

I added:

The old background was very simple, so I wanted to make the start menu feel more like a real game.

I also changed the style of the title text.

After that, I changed all 3 buttons:

I wanted the buttons to fit the new style of the background better.

I also improved the hover animation.

The old animation felt a little slow, so I made it faster and smoother.

I also changed the start animation.

Now, the background details appears from the upper part of the scene when the game starts.

This makes the menu feel more interesting than simply showing everything immediately.

The start menu is looking much better now, but I still want to improve it more.

My next goal is to finish the custom cat paw cursor and start working on the first minigame.

I am planning to make the first minigame a platformer.

The start menu is not perfect yet, but it is slowly becoming closer to what I imagined.

More updates soon!
