Creating a start-screen backdrop

Help and Feedback Game Design Support

I’m currently working on a Fantasy RPG game - However, I aim for the game to open up to a basic: “Press ANY key to play” sorta thing -

Now, I plan on having a sort of vignette as the backdrop, however, I can’t necessarily decide on WHAT it should be; the game itself will feature a story-line and I’m wondering if it’s worth having the Dark gloomy pivotal point of the arc as the backdrop, or to keep it cheery - sort of fantasy related - but off topic to the story?

I’m currently using inspiration from the Fable series.

It really depends on how the story-line goes. Does it have an evil twist? Do you want to foreshadow?

Perhaps you should have both-- a sunny cheery background that is periodically cut into a dark and gloomy background.
