Chapter Title Images

[TheChaosArchivist]

In a few of the games I’ve read through (multiple times), instead of CHAPTER ONE in bold, an image is used to make it pretty. I like that idea. However, when I look for information on images, it brings up the splash screens and title images and other things that are necessary to publish the game through Hosted Games and Choice of Games.

On my end, I want to use images for chapter headings. Make them a bit prettier.

But I’m not sure what size these pictures need to be! I want it narrow but long, not taking up too much room…but enough room for the picture to catch the eye. Even if it’s “Chapter One” in a different style of writing.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Or is there already a post and I’m just really bad at finding them?

How to make quick and easy chapter headers

So, I see a lot of games come in without chapters headers, and I think this is a missed opportunity, because good looking chapter headers don’t have to be difficult. In fact, you can probably do them yourself for free! So, because I wanted to, I drew up a quick and easy walkthrough of how to make a good looking chapter headers in GIMP. For information on color in headers, see this post. First, you’re going to want to download GIMP. I recommend GIMP because it’s free, it’s available for Windows…

I think this is the post you’re looking for.
