GUI in progress.

Thoughts?

Nice, but it looks like there will be lots of wasted space due to the shape of it.

Actually, I had some other ideas for what was going to be on it, so it's not going to be so blank, and it won't waste gameplay space because I have sort of a diablo II -esque light radius script, so it won't really be blocking anything either.

The font is called Cyberotica. >.>

What Spark said. And the text looks a bit weird... Dunno why.

[Aethorpe]

As an update, I've tweaked the size a bit, and added a little more detail, whatcha think?

Give the wood more texture.
Give it a lightsource instead of pillowshading!

I find it hard to fit in stats in that kind of GUI.

The GUI isn't going to need to fit alot of information, it's all given in seperate menus. >.> This GUI is just a HUD of vitals and a few other various things, as well as there will be another one just like it, in the opposite corner of the screen and it is 180 degrees from this one and has a different display. >.>

It's got a lightsource. :P

[Gambet]

Not bad, I like it . Nice work.

Thanks, I tried to give the wood a more.. woody texture. :x

I am still thinking about it though, but here is what it looks like.

[Gambet]

Ah, much better.

Thanks, here I made some minor changes to the coloring, very minor, but it makes a big difference I think.

edit: Here is a screenshot from in the game, do you think it blends well?

[Curt1zzle]

I still think there is way too much empty wasted space in the GUI, but it's looking better every update you show us.

The numbers for health/fatigue/etc in the screenshot you show need a different font and not so bright colors, I think.

How's this?

[Scott]

Meh. Personally I don't like it. Not much effort put into shaping it I can see. Though I do like the attached buttons, that's about it. The wood texture you used isn't eye pleasing, try doing something else with that. The shading on the leaves isn't very pleasent either, try using a different tone of green. Maybe olive? Meh.

*sighs* I never get a break, do I? :x

By the time I am "done" with the GUI everyone will like it but me.

Not much effort into shaping it? Tell me your favorite shape, and I'll start over from scratch and make the ScottUI.

Favorite shape? I don't have one. As well, what I mean is you didn't put much thought into having a practical shape, or one that reflect the design. You can have many shapes aside from the simple one you used... Mix and match, dude.

It's a right triangle with diagonal buttons, I put alot of thought into it, and it's very practical for what I have planned, I personally find that it reflects the design of the GUI quite well, and more importantly, the design of it's intended use.

I apologize for not being you scott, I prefer more conventional design to your more abstract style. So because I made this a more conventional shape and not a snail shell, I am to be labeled inferior?

Furthermore, your idea of a snail shell GUI is more "practical" than a right triangle with a wooden border?

Yes, yes, yes, all of those quick doodles were "Snails." Way to observe. I'm not abstract at all, so lay off with that stereotype. I'm not calling you inferior, just lacking imagination. I'd rather look at something interesting and fun than a right triangle. Ofcourse, I'm just a fanboy for originality. Forgive me.
