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.

2024-12-28 07:40:21 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-12-13 00:05:59 +0000 UTCi really like 6 and 5, as long as they dont cover the characters on the screen, otherwise they would just be better on top

2024-12-12 05:51:56 +0000 UTCThere’s three I like But I can only choose the one But all together 2-3-5 are personally the best looking ones

2024-12-12 05:13:30 +0000 UTCI like 6 but reverse order for the health and such in my opinion

2024-12-12 01:47:25 +0000 UTCHonestly fw 1 and 4 they seem unique compared to your average display

2024-12-12 01:03:11 +0000 UTCUnfortunately 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
Jiggly Pixels
2024-12-12 01:03:01 +0000 UTCWhat about the option to do all
Dog 12
2024-12-12 00:42:51 +0000 UTC3 and 6 but choose 3 classic feel
chaz effinger
2024-12-11 23:44:49 +0000 UTCCompared to 1, I mean. 3 is also good in that regard but 5’s UI looks cooler
David
2024-12-11 23:00:23 +0000 UTCAgreed. 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
David
2024-12-11 22:59:32 +0000 UTCThank you so much my friend!

2024-12-11 22:55:58 +0000 UTCHey 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
Jiggly Pixels
2024-12-11 22:55:27 +0000 UTCI really like 4 and 6, but since I need to pick one I’m picking 6
Jr Paul
2024-12-11 22:33:09 +0000 UTCOption 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?

2024-12-11 22:10:09 +0000 UTCThe 3 bars, red, blue and green are very nostalgic, they remind me of oblivion, can't go wrong with an old school style UI
Sucast FH
2024-12-11 22:07:22 +0000 UTCAre the animations going to be centered where the numbers are located?
Eli
2024-12-11 22:04:02 +0000 UTCwould it be possible to switch the blue and purple? just personal feeling that purple fits lust better as a color
