UI updates (0.1.8 beta preview) (Patreon)
Content
Hello everyone,
although the game is not that old yet, some parts of the user interface could use an overhaul.
What you see here is a work in progress and just an example without any real connection to the game right now. (It's not Amy in the image and no scene or achievement has been unlocked)
What are the main changes and ideas for the UI:
No more waiting times when stats (like love, etc.) change. Instead, the change is shown with an overlay screen that automatically fades in an out while you can continue playing.
Depending on what is shown, the "show time" can be handled in a flexible way.
It will support multiple messages at the same time or very close after one another (up to 4 or 5, not sure yet)
There will be bifferent icons and colors for the different stats changes (love, affection, anger, etc.)
The icon images will be more or less "filled" depending on the corresponding value (e.g. 60 love would mean a heart that is 60% filled will be shown)
Info on quest changes, etc. will also be displayed that way in the future (probably not directly with the first update for the new UI)
A new type of information will be available: "Scene/Event/Appointment unlocked!" (probably not directly with the first update for the new UI)
It supports left menu shown and hidden, please check the image below
Transparency of the black image part could/might be connected with the transparency setting from the settings, that are already used for the semi transparent black image that is shown behind the text. Not sure about this one yet.
Left menu shown (Amy love is just fading out):
I hope you like the changes.Darkhound
