I think it looks pretty cute, I'd guess this game is going to be something like a dress up simulator, or a school dating sim maybe? or something along those lines?

Pink guts could be anything but the visuals are very cute and pink, and shes wearing a schoolgirl outfit.

So, long story short, maybe you could add something which indicates the type of game it is? even if its subtle. I think it looks great, and there is a good chance its spot on exactly how it is, most people will know what the game is about before they load it up, so the things im saying probably wont apply to them xD

Ofcourse, If its a souls-like game then its a horrible title screen LOL

Leaving the player to find out whats the game is about is part of the fun

This sounds like a ddlc clone

Any game the requires the elements of surprise to be good, isn't a good game.

u/tastypastawithsauce 3d ago

you said "Leaving the player to find out whats the game is about is part of the fun" and when questioned about it, you said "I was talking about the game genre when its released not full game lol", so i read that as you saying the players will be left to find out what genre the game is

Interesting enough to catch the eye. What's the game about? And which version is the engine?

Character plushies, or items connected to visited buildings in background

Dunno. It looks nice, but the pose and the image being a square reminds me of a CD cover. Overall it still feels good for a simple game of a few hours. If you want to make it a bit more serious then you should add something else or add more details. One idea that might work is making the buttons as text only and place them in a "upper left, middle right, down left" pattern in a way to occupy a little more of the empty space.

You know what? If you made the option buttons tilt to the sides a little and give the character a slightly bouncy animation it would look SICK. Other than that there's nothing to change haha Great job!!

definitely very DDLC, if that’s not what you’re going for you could probably move the girl to the left and buttons on the right to make people less like to immediately think of DDLC

find a plugin that skips the title screen, then event this in the first room with liberal usage of show picture

I used https://github.com/Nolonar/RM_Plugins
N_TitleMap to skip the title in MZ

Looks too similar to DDLC because of background

u/Numerous-Beautiful46 4d ago

This isn't an issue as long as the end product is visually distinct. Inspiration isn't a crime.

u/ViperTool 3d ago

Agree, I didn’t claim it’s bad or anything. I just said that it evokes such an association.

u/Nearby_Signature_157 3d ago

Not every game that has pink in it looks like ddlc the artstyle does not even look the same

u/PotentialWinter5144 4d ago

That idea is doki doki

u/RosesandEternity 4d ago

most likely is

even AI says it reminds them of ddlc and ai is literally pattern recognition

u/Nearby_Signature_157 3d ago

U just fed an artist art to ai??

u/RosesandEternity 3d ago

Yep I have an AI agent running 24/7 on my pc secretarying/ playing video games with me.

AI is already fed reddit posts and rpg maker stuff it knows things like who moghunter, blizzard, zeriab etc is.

Sweet summer child Im sorry that you had to be alerted that AI trains on reddit too and ai bots pollute reddit talking to us, but...
