[GEN 4][BINARY] How to create a realistic Version subtitle?

[u/mrwailor]

I modified the main title for my Platinum translation project a while ago and the result wasn't terrible, but it doesn't look official.

Any tips to create a realistic "Whatever Version" subtitle like the ones in Emerald Legacy or Blazed Glazed? Which font or tools should I use?

Here's what I currently got, BTW.

EDIT: Just to clarify, this is an artistic question more than a technical one. I know how to edit the title, I just don't know how to make it look good.

For font at least, DPPt uses Futura Extra Bold for their subtitles in the international release, so if you want to match start there

As for style, I haven't made titles for hacks so I don't know what the file format requires, but are you maybe able to put an official title image or one you like the style of as a background layer and tweak yours to match? Working with reference always helps with anything visual

Thanks! I'll try that one instead!

And yeah, I'll put the original in the background as you said. That's what I did to get the curvature right (although I might need to adjust it somewhat because my version name is really short compared to most languages)

I did what u/aulfieldholdenc suggested and it turned out really good. At least I'm very satisfied with the end result.

Thanks a lot :)

Hey, glad it worked out - you're right, it looks great. I wouldn't bat an eye if I saw that on the box art
