Title graphic for the videogame me and my friend Trae are working on right now

It will be our first completed when done and I'm really aiming to make it into a web game.

Since this is our first, gameplay itself will be very simple. For example, at it's core it was inspired by arcade classics Space Invaders and Galaga. It's its own animal though, and you might find it has a surprising amount of depth to it, while still keeping with it's classic arcade gameplay.

(read on for description of the game)

Ballista takes place in ancient times, contemporary with the Roman empire. In the game you control a trireme and try to sink the dozens of ships coming after you while avoiding bits of scenery and sometimes a nasty surprise of mythic proportions (watch out for that Kraken)

As we planned. You can either do single games for casual play, do online vs matches, or play the conquest mode... where you choose a captain (and nation they sail under) and try to conquer the world, gaining powerups and helping ships each time you advance.

In conquest mode there's even a secret pirate character you get to fight... good luck finding him... and defeating him.

Also as you see in this title screen graphic, I'm going to do some hand made watercolors and drawings for many of the game's graphics, using photoshop for some editing of course. This extra effort will give the game a nice well-crafted look despite being a simple game.
