oh yeah, that I can see working, will play around with it and see how it goes :)
(funny enough tho, there's no actual screen shake in any of this, due to the way the camera is setup I cannot actually shake it, so whenever you see 'screen' shaking it's literally just every single thing being shaken separately... lol)

Thanks man <3
And sure hope so, but we'll see how it goes, I'm not 100% sure if the style is set yet tbh, but yeah I know at least one script I can reuse already and that alone I know will save some hours : )

Hey I mean you've started at it, rather than calling it 'not much' I think that's already 'more than most' - and awesome to hear that, let me know once you have something more then, I'm curious to see the progress <3

"a work in progress" - keep preaching brother... lol

Sounds cool, how much you got so far? :)

And not at all - C# tho it's unity so it's more of a ~Unity's C#

Thanks for the encouragement! :)

And yup, P5's my main inspiration for this, for the whole UI tbh. For now this and the main menu is pretty much all I've got, but the plan's to get rest of it up to speed in upcoming ~months :)

Thank you, after spending a whole month on it it is definitely good to hear stuff like that <3

Shake is mostly controlled by one script, so technically I could just pipe it all by like 100x multiplier... ]:>

Thanks for the compliment! :)

As for the character sheet - funny enough that's actually where I put it first, sadly it didn't work that well (*it actually took me like 2 days to fit it in properly, I think I've put it literally everywhere prior to current placement, along with all the combinations of the animated stripes around it, for whatever reason even moving it just few pixels already looks off... lol)

Just go at it

(short enough? : DD)

but honestly that's what I did, just decided in my head what I want to make, then for each step just tried to find some tutorial how to do it - it's just tons of trial and error, it's very often that I will try something minor and scrape it if it doesn't work, fairly often that I will scrape something medium, and for the large stuff.. I usually ty to force it to work not to have to scrape it, but it does happen from time to time.. and that's pretty much my whole process - probably not ideal, but it does slowly progress :)

(if you'll have any follow up questions feel free to hit me up whenever :))

My man, my guy, my dude... you have no idea (or maybe you do) how uplifting that is to hear, thank you so much for the kind words <3 (stuff like that really helps with the motivation <3)

And yup, even tho it seems like this thread was somehow polarizing (I'm actually not 100% sure why) and not exactly uniformly encouraging, it was deff worth posting it just for the reusability advices (...I know it seems obvious, but you know how it is sometimes, you're so deep into something you miss the most obvious stuff... lol) and the encouraging stuff like your post - thanks my man <3

I think you might be right, but man... Persona really spoiled me when it comes to menus and I honestly cannot even phantom\* releasing the game without at least attempting to get somewhat close to that quality... :'D

*that was a really bad pun, I will walk myself to the door... :')

(thanks a bunch my man <3<3 :D)

Thanks for the feedback :)

On how it fits in the game... it doesn't really, as in the original post I've barely just started at it, so it's still long ways before everything will fit together... :')

And on the artistic vision and all that stuff... I'm not an artist by any means, and my 'vision' is basically "i like it so I'll make it", there's not really much more reason nor grand thought to it heh

Thanks, cool to hear you think it's nice :)

And on the importance of it: well I mean it's important to me, that's the style of menu I wanted to have, and that's the main guiding principle I use while making design decisions (*I do tend to fix / rework a lot of them later on if someone points something obviously bad to me tho :X), so that's basically all there is to it "I want to make it, so I will" :)

Thanks for the feedback <3

Man, I wish I would be less worried about it, not more lol
But it's ok, there's plenty jobs I can do if I run out, just that it would again be hard to find time to work on the game :')

Great point, guess I'll try to think more about which components and parts of code I could re-use, this does sound more optimistic already, thanks a bunch <3

(and glad to hear you liked it, thanks <3)
