New animated title screen + new animated intro

What's up, guys!
Today we have perhaps one of the most important updates to the game: a new animated title screen and a new animated intro have been added to the game.

The old title screen was functional, but it was limited to a static image without much expression.
In the humble opinion of this developer speaking to you, it seemed like something was missing.
I always felt that, somehow, the title screen and the new intro needed to better showcase the game, to convey the right impression and vibe from the player's first contact with it, so I decided to work on that a bit more.

The first thing I felt needed improvement was the title screen music.
Not that the music available in the current version (v0.4) is bad, so much so that I decided to keep it, but I created an original arrangement of this same song exclusively for the game Living in a Brothel.
This time, the music has a disco vibe, which I think fits well with the atmosphere of a brothel, since brothel girls often captivate clients by dancing semi-nude for them.

Having overcome this point, I needed to make the title screen animated, since a static title screen like the one in the current version doesn't quite capture the brothel vibe, which is the theme of this game.
When brainstorming ideas for a good animation that would match the vibe of the game and the newly arranged music, I decided to have the girls dancing to the rhythm of the music, lights similar to those from disco balls illuminating the girls and the title, to match the disco music, and finally, the neon ornaments in the background flashing, just like in a brothel.
Okay, now we have a title screen that really captures the vibe of a brothel.
The player will get that impression upon first encountering the game.

But I still felt something was missing.
This game unfolds slowly, and it takes time for the player to get acquainted with all the mechanics, discover how the game works, and what they can expect from it.
I needed a way to demonstrate what the game can offer the player even on the first contact, so I thought:
"Why not add the Steam trailer, which introduces the characters and demonstrates the main game mechanics, as an animated intro?"
That's the idea that was missing!
From now on, after the splash screen, an animated intro will be displayed, which is exactly the Steam trailer, so that the player can see the game's features right from the first contact.

Don't worry, the animated intro can be skipped by simply pressing the Enter key, just like the splash screen.
We know how tiresome it can be to see something over and over again, especially a 3-minute video when starting the game.
So, basically, those who have never played the game will be able to watch the intro and understand what the game has to offer, and those who are already veteran players can skip it without any problems.

Lastly, but no less importantly, in the video attached to this post, the animated intro only includes the characters presentation, but this was done this way because YouTube does not allow nudity or sexually explicit content, okay?
In the game, there will be more content than what is shown in the video.

That's all for today, folks.
I hope you enjoyed these new features.
I believe that, with this, the game will have a greater initial appeal, because nothing captures players' attention more than good animations.
And we know how important first impressions are, so let's make the best possible impression on our new players.
Until next time,
Cheers! 🍻
