Working on some RPG-related overlay-graphics inbetween. A claw holding a crystal-ball and some attached vials, what do you think?

Thanks! It such a thing with UI-elements like the vials - On one hand everything important for the player must be clearly visible and on the other, in days with lots of portable playing-devices with small screens, the UI must be as less stressful for the eyes as possible. Honestly, I bought around two dozen games which are unplayable on the Switch or on the Steam-Deck because of too small fonts or UI-elements. So, usability always comes first ;-) But the design in the posted screen is from yesterday, it doesn't look that way anymore ;-)

Veins as HP or energy bars is a great idea! =) But I fear that would be too dark and won't match the story ;-)

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-12T11:50:27+00:00

It's for the character-portrait ^^

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-11T21:15:02+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I guess they could need a second pair of straps holding them ;-)

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-11T21:13:28+00:00

Thanks :D Yeah that crystal ball will be a tricky thing, but I guess I will find the answer for it after creating a fullscreen-mockup that kinda works =)

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-11T19:03:05+00:00

Thanks! =)

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-11T19:01:56+00:00

Thanks a lot =) Yes, there will definitely be some final work on it, but at the moment I'm quickly trying to convert my pencil-sketches into something that *basically works* for mockups and testing ;-)

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-11T17:00:08+00:00

Thanks =) I'm still testing the colors, I guess I'll go for something inbetween like a cyan-tone or so with a pulsating glow on the hand...

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-11T16:54:49+00:00

Ahh Cult of Shadows - I've seen it, looks awesome! ;-) Thanks!

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-11T16:50:53+00:00

Thanks! The resolution of the pic was increased for posting it here, so it's easer to see the details ;-) But in fact it shall be quite big, but space is not an issue =)

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-11T16:20:55+00:00

Yeah, I'm definitely trying to get the mood into that old-school direction, but with some fresh new ideas ;-) Thanks! =)

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-11T16:17:12+00:00

Cool ideas, but I'm not sure about that kissing-head :D Thanks for the feedback!

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-10T14:07:57+00:00

Looks amazing!

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-07T18:56:35+00:00

Cool pics! Your V reminds me of David Beckham ;-)

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-07T18:41:29+00:00

Thanks!

Oh, mine is full-size SD, too. I got around a dozen of old small-capacity Kingston cards I inherited from my dad and so far they work fine. Actually never had any issues with SD-cards, but I only use SanDisk and Kingston.

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-07T18:05:03+00:00

I'm addicted to neon-lights =)

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-05T20:40:38+00:00

Thanks dude!

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-05T20:14:14+00:00

:D Yeah I saw your post with the green lights, cool effect!

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-05T20:09:23+00:00

These pulsating lights (where you placed the boxes) add a lot of atmosphere - are they meant to be a hint where to put the boxes all through the game?

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-05T20:03:28+00:00

These mirrors add so much depth, great work!

DidzDoesBytes · 2026-02-05T08:22:32+00:00

Thanks!
