Hello!
So for my start screen, I have created two effects but am having a dilemma between which to choose.
First is a classic fade in-fade out, but the second is more of a “slat” effect. Both are nice, but I can’t decide which I prefer, which brings me here.
Fade in-fade out:

Is your game more realistic or more cartoony? That should be the question you need to ask yourself.
Looking at the “Play” button in the first example, it both fades out and the line retracts in a very dramatic, stylistic way. It isn’t cartoonish at all. I love it.
Consider this. Would a dramatic movie more likely have the first or second transition? Of course the fade! It just fits the style better. What about a cartoon? It would likely take more liberties and would consider the second option.
Lastly the second screen takes longer than the first, and if you’re anything like me, long loading screens are the worst.
Combine the aforementioned points and I think you have your answer. Unless you want your game to be cartoony… pick the fade!
Although, I do love both effects! Good work on making both look very neat. I hope this helped you. (´∀`)
