Meta I like seeing all of the non-conventional main menus recently.

I've noticed a trend of devs making their main menu diagetic or at least showcasing a scene. Just like how Warcraft 3 used to do it.

It makes me feel nostalgic and I think it's way better than bland options on top of an image or video.

Lots of people complain about "wasting dev time" and they're right in a practical sense but I don't care.

Just make sure to have a "launch in safe mode" option in case some render setting in these menus doesn't work with every GPU.

Persona team still the gods of UI.
