Dev-Day Episode 42: Green Light

ui



that character screen is still a placeholder.

those bars don't really work.

but they will, they'll also be visible while you're playing the game.

like health bars ought to be.

there's also mana, cause magic will be a thing.

i'll make those bars separate objects, and work similarly to the ui.

this isn't a new concept for me.

however i have learned that placement for your bars might be important.

i see that dark souls and most games for that matter put your health bar in the top left.

minecraft puts it in the bottom left/center area.

however i rarely ever see the healthbar in the right side of the screen, except in saints row.

so what's the point?

i'll look more into this but i can't find any videos blatantly discussing this, so i look more into general hud/ui discussion.

tomorrow, npcs.
