That's probably because I wrote half the loops in it.

As soon as I get of my iTouch and onto my mac, I'll get the sound into a Mp3 or something.

Lol, okay. Have the graphic designers started designing and the sound composers started composing? 

da.  we've been going for a while (at least the sound peeps).  here are my contributions.

So I should make the menu?

Yeah. Make the framework for it in a way that we can add graphics later.

I have an idea. How about the logo is the menu?
I'll edit it to have buttons

OKay. what are the buttons? How bout these?
PLAY
HELP
CREDITS

I was thinking:
QUICKPLAY
MULTIPLAYER
SETTINGS
HELP
CREDITS

OK!

SRR and I are working on a background for the title menu that will be a full version of my logo. The clock hands will move according to the system time and the planets (5 of them) will be menu buttons that will expand slightly as you mouse over them.

Phreak just emailed me what he thinks the menu should be like. Here's what he said:

(this is a continuation of our chat on Skype, so the origin some of it may not make sense.)

I thought, instead of showing the time, JUST the second hand would twist to point at the button/planet the mouse is currently hovering over. The planet getting pointed at would also glow white around the edges.

I also  changed "Settings" to "Options" and added "Story" for the story. I can change these if desired.

The buttons as I envisioned them:

Quickplay: Starts a random "Minigame" with random terrain and opponents.
Story: Plays the story levels.
Online: ("Multiplayer" was too long) Starts a connection process (of local or online?) players.
Options: Configure everything.
Help: Opens help window. (auto-opens on startup and can has a "Do not show on startup" checkbox.)
Credits: Credits and a "Contact Us" option somewhere.

Tell me what I need to do to it please.

And the planets should rotate! and the hands and gears should move like the clock is going

how about instead of "Quickplay" it's "Campaign". And maybe the credits should go at the end of the campaign. that's what all the other professional game designer do

Quickplay is not the same as campaign. Phreak had some good names for them.

This equation, when graphed with the result plotted on the z axis, the x axis ranging from 0 to 1, and the y axis ranging from 2 to 3, creates a realistic mountain range:
I have no idea how to implement it but I found it in a book I got for Christmas and I thought you might be interested.

I know I'm not a graphics designer, but I had an idea, maybe you could use the arrow keys to cycle through the planets which each might have been like the QUICKPLAY, MULTIPLAYER, etc.
