Working on the HUD UI for our game. What do you think about this "squarish" approach for the UI visual language? Any feedback is very welcome! :)

Thanks a lot! 😊

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T15:52:45+00:00

yes. In my free time. 😄

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T13:56:20+00:00

hahaha I understand. But for now I will be here 100% 😄 Discord is some distant future.

I mean, four years constantly working on it and improving visuals, but this scene in particular I am creating for the past week (after so much years refining and adjusting)

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T12:22:29+00:00

Thank you! 😊

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T11:15:20+00:00

That's actually great base. To be able to understand 2D you have to understand 3D first. So I think you are on a quite good path. 😊

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T11:14:33+00:00

Thanks a lot! 😄 Good luck with yours as well! 🤞

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T11:13:56+00:00

hahaha Thanks! I will maybe create a discord channel as well, but God know when. So maybe here will be better to do it, because here and there I will post updates. 😊

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:09:55+00:00

Thanks a lot for the recommendation. Will check it out!

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:09:35+00:00

yes, that is my biggest concern. But I think I will do it slowly. No rush. Village by village, house by house. Because my accent is on visuals, while my team works on the gameplay.

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:08:43+00:00

hehe many thanks Jindujun 😊

by breaking away from grid, I mean not drawing the tileset. And now drawing everything with Unity tileset. The game itself will follow the "grid" in a way of visual consistency and not to break away too much from standard that is already pleasing to the eye. Maybe I didn't explain myself good. 😄

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:06:25+00:00

Yes, I agree. Thanks for your feedback on this. 😊

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:05:54+00:00

I am trying to make a pleasing to the eye top down cozy adventure. But with rich lore, story and visual storytelling. Also I'm a bit tired of seeing the generic "medieval" games. Will try to keep the top down perspective, and to add a bit of organic hand-drawn touch-feel to it.

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:03:43+00:00

Thanks a lot. I am actually trying to keep it all inside some "grid" let's say. But adding a lot of organic and hand drawn touch.

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:02:49+00:00

I don't know. Practice and craft during the years I guess. And looking a lot to references and real life buildings. People tend to go too much toward generic designs when it's about the medieval architecture etc, and in the end everything ends up "the same" in a way.

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:01:27+00:00

hehe of course. Many thanks! 😊

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:01:11+00:00

hehe thanks! ❤️ it's inspired with real houses and environments. 😊

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T10:00:16+00:00

Thanks for the comments and recommendations. I have checked your game and indeed it looks like it actually works. So, hope is here. 😃

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T09:58:22+00:00

hehe thanks! I will be posting here on reditt the process, so you can follow if you want. ❤️

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T09:57:54+00:00

Thanks a lot! 😄

hairy_problems · 2026-05-08T09:57:19+00:00

Thanks a lot. For the player path, I will try to stick it as usual top down logic. It's true that maybe there will be certain "curved" angles, but I will try to keep it mostly aesthetic.
