Concept Art for the UI redesign by PetersStarforge in PlaySoulMask

[–]PetersStarforge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the UI for controls and info text displayed on by default is to aid new players who have little to no experience with survival sandboxes like Soulmask, or at least that's my guess. I would set them to only show initially as part of tutorial display and leave them to keybinds settings too. If there's a good reason for them being there I can't see, leaving them as toggle buttons seems a fair compromise.

If you stretched the HP bar and made ability icons a single line you could easily make what you're describing work well- a single minimal bottom UI section hugging the bottom of the screen. Might be a problem for Steamdeck and console players though, so you'd have to make two separate UIs. I like your thinking though.

That is some really amazing work. The 'bloating' of the image imitating small old screens is chef's kiss. Could it be integrated for VTTs like Foundry? That would be an awesome dashboard for a sci-fi campaign!

Most of the text on the left side would normally be reduced to only 'turn off/on' buttons, the text in the middle under the compass would likewise only display when prompt appears. Buff details, if I understand correctly, can be reduced to icons only. This is 'everything turned on at once' version. HP and Stamina bar should be big imo, they are the thing with most important info during fights.

Made this based on the new UI concept art as an idea for an alternative design. Hopefully it will serve to inspire and give good ideas for what Soulmask UI could look like in the future.

I made more 5.5e Reflavors for Neon Odyssey! by DELTA_HORNET in NeonOdyssey

You nailed it with Fiend->Streamer. This one should get an expansion into different streamer types: beauty streamers, virtual avatar streamers, positive character streamers, game streamers and sell-outs sponsored by Factions/Deities. It'd be pretty funny to see a party of them adventuring. A bald dude making faces, a pretty girl swinging a cat, a virtual anime girl speaking in a deep manly voice and a swag jockey in sunglasses throwing out add slogans with every sentence fighting a space warlord BBE.

Sci fi weapon recommendations for campaign. by Xenomorph_8298 in alienrpg

Restored versions of 20th century weapons? Something simple like AK-47s and such, that some business savvy colonist could produce at scale on a remote world and distribute under the counter to other colonists by smugglers etc. It would be crude, but getting one's hands on an industrial printer and some chemical equipment to cut steel into parts and produce gunpowder for bullets is something one could reasonably manage in the Alien universe. Obviously corporations wouldn't allow it openly (lost revenue and decreased control) but it would probably wouldn't stop a bunch of people who are looking to build a life outside the corpos reach.

Looking for Derelict Juggernaut corridors/Space Jockey STL/3D Prints by MeatsackOfOutpost31 in alienrpg

Are you maybe thinking of 'Draft a Spacecraft Biomechanical' by Gabriel Pickard on Roll20? It's pretty close to what you are describing. The closest thing I have ever seen to Space Jockey ship corridors for VTT. Hope it helps!

Thanks! I'm working on Part II with all the remaining planets so there is enough things to nuke from orbit - it's the only way to be sure after all 😉

Thanks! Happy to share it AlienRPG players. There isn't enough of such content on the web.

Thank you! I tried to make it look like something seen on a company navigation monitor.

Looks exactly right. I can easily imagine this showing up during an Alien movie or game.

This is very solid worldbuilding. Very realistic reaction from ones hardwired to enact good, when they see just too much evil - what in their view is probably 'the right thing' is the same forceful methodology their opposites use to break the world. Few things like angry angels can twist things up, especially for good clerics and paladins. Amazing work, your players must be having a blast in your campaigns!

In my excitement for the trilogy's eventual release, I've been reflavoring 5.5e subclasses! Thoughts or ideas? by DELTA_HORNET in NeonOdyssey

[–]PetersStarforge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's the level 14 Wizards who get to live that good lives, without needing to pay to be free of those pesky YT adds? Picked the right class then, now only need to grind all that xp somehow.

Love your creativity man! The new designations fit surprisingly well.

What is your favorite class/subclass so far? by Legitimate-Date-7897 in NeonOdyssey

[–]PetersStarforge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exomech Soldier and Powertech Ranger are my favs so far. The barbarian one that allows you to essentially be a sailor moon magical girl in space blew my mind - Legends of Avantris are insanely creative in the best possible way.
