Rare Update: Intro and Main Menu

Let's be honest—weekly reviews are out of the question. So here's a rare (and brief) update!

Jeremy has figured out a way to allow us to have thousands of ships mulling around at a time. He's been working on that as he's able.

I have been working on the introduction animation that leads from the splash images to the game's main menu. The main menu includes the game's current logo.

Current versions:

Introduction Animation of a pirate ship appears on a creepy sea.

The animation will probably have some kind of a build-up ambient sound. Wind. Some kind of abstract increase in noise or pieces of what will be the theme music. Something that increases with the fog. Then it'll just bang onto the main menu with the theme music starting abruptly (we haven't developed the theme music yet). That's the current idea, anyways.

And separately, here's the text-only version of the logo.

Text-only version of the Arrrchipelago logo.

And finally, we're hoping to start play-testing after we get the new ship system sorted. Volunteers welcome!
