Gift of Hedone: Poll - UI positioning & Shapes
🕑 Added 2024-12-11 22:00:00 +0000 UTCHello you lovely deviants,
I wanted to get some feedback on UI you enjoy in RPGs you've played.
Below are 6 basic positioning/high level look at what it would look like when you are out exploring/in combat.
Note - Please ignore the scale, just focus on the positioning i.e the centering or corner placement of certain elements and their shape.
The colour Key is as follows - the colors are just a reference for the below Key, and are not related to final graphics
Yellow - Picture of current party member
Red - Health Bar
Blue - Lust Bar
Green - Exp Bar
Purple - Combat Abilities
Which do you prefer of the below - or if you have a game you really liked the layout, feel free to drop a link to an image, or put the game title and I can check it out.

I really like layouts 1 and 2 for their clean and intuitive placement. However, I personally feel that the XP bar (green) doesn't need to be visible on the main UI. It’s not something players need to monitor constantly during exploration or combat. A setup like in Baldur’s Gate 3, where the XP bar is accessible only in the inventory or character menu, works well and keeps the UI more focused and less cluttered.

5 is really great because it imitates minecraft, and i like that. 👌

i really like 6 and 5, as long as they dont cover the characters on the screen, otherwise they would just be better on top

Unfortunately just due to time, I want to have one I will commit to. If later one I feel like I can add options, I may explore it - but dont want to commit to something I may not than deliver

What about the option to do all

3 and 6 but choose 3 classic feel
David
Compared to 1, I mean. 3 is also good in that regard but 5’s UI looks cooler
David
Agreed. I feel like there has to be an option to choose whichever you want. 5 and 1 are my favs, followed by 3. But I have to go with 5 since it gives more detail on your resources

Thank you so much my friend!

Hey SR< sorry i should have clarified in the post, the colors are just there for reference to the key, and are not related to final graphics and design

I really like 4 and 6, but since I need to pick one I’m picking 6

Option 5 is my pick for sure but obtion three gives good vibes maybe have settings to change the hud between the top 3 winners of the poll?

The 3 bars, red, blue and green are very nostalgic, they remind me of oblivion, can't go wrong with an old school style UI
Eli
Are the animations going to be centered where the numbers are located?
SR
would it be possible to switch the blue and purple? just personal feeling that purple fits lust better as a color
