Hi, recently I've been working on my game "Before the Stars". The main menu used to be a very simple prototype, but I wanted to make something that is eye-catching and easy to understand.

I've made a post on the game's page looking for feedback on the new main menu: https://snoozingraven.itch.io/before-the-stars/devlog/791970/main-menu-redesign

Would love some feedback on it, one thing I'm still considering changing is the place where players can edit their name. For now it's simply on the main menu so it'll be easy to find.

Well I gave it a looksee and I have to say... The menu looks very intriguing and well designed!

It pulls me in and makes me want to play the game, or at least see more of what it's all about. The space background with the rotating earth in a striking art style are good visual hooks that make this happen. I didn't hear any audio, and I'm sure you'll put some in later, but yeah some juicy sfx on that cursor and liminal music in the background would refine the taste to perfection! 

As for the name editing, I think it's fine where it is. I will say that I didn't see it upon first glance, maybe because it was tucked in the corner. I guess you could put in a bit more in the forefront, but that's not totally necessary.

My game is over here if you'd like to share your experience on the game page: https://wasabiiii.itch.io/grass-elemental-demo-demo; Feedback is much appreciated!

It's good to get some eyes on your game now in its pre-release state. Keep it up and you'll have more people trying it out as soon as the demo drops!
