Hello there, it's been months since anyone posted here. Nearly a year as a matter of fact, but I made this thing and wanted to share it somewhere.
I decided this will be a start to a series of new GT menus I will design, using GT7's current U.I. as a base, but evolving it. Also using these designs as a way to sort of showcase my dream Gran Turismo game.
Now about the top info UI:
- Color swap, I was thinking about how GT5 & 6 had the same U.I. essentially, but GT6 swapped the colors. So, that's what happened here, I even changed the gradient used for the credits.
- The collector's level being higher than 50 isn't a mistake, I liked GT7's collection level idea since car collecting is a bit part of GT. But I found it odd that PD decided the cap it at level 50 when that game had over 420 cars and launch and now has over 500. Since my dream GT title especially would have way more cars than that, it goes up.
- For the brands themselves, I was trying to use the newer logos including a lot of the simplified logos some brands are doing now.
- Also, I thought it would be better to just have every brand selectable instead of picking a region first. Then just be able to filter the region, make, model, or do a search instead to get precise. I'll probably get rid of the model filter, feels wierd to have it here, but I needed a 3rd option.
EDIT:
I just finally found this again, a little title screen I made for fun and posted on TwitterX a while back.
Also on another note, I recreated more old Gran Turismo game menus for fun throughout last year.
I think I remade the icons myself for GT1, but I outsourced for the cars on display and the logos. I got the logos from different websites, though I had to make some edits to the color. For the cars, they're all Assetto Corsa mods, I took pictures of them in the custom showroom via AC Content Manager. You can basically set it to where the cars can have transparent backgrounds, which gave me the idea to do these.
and I made this short video recreating Gran Turismo 3's car dealer. In which I haven't gotten around to recreating the other menus...darn it!
