Codename: Dead Bird - HUD and Main menu Concepts
Were launching this contest the give everyone a chance to contribute to our mod! The contest is about designing a concept for our HUD and/or main menu.
Of course, here we dont await a highly polished wonderful looking piece of concept art. This is because we want to reward the best ideas and not only the person with the best drawing skills. (Obviously a good looking piece of art is a plus compared to a concept done in paint)
Contest Assignments:
HUD
Were trying to create a minimalistic HUD, so we probably wont use a health/stamina bar, mini-map and a display of the currently selected weapon (youre having the weapon in your hands anyway ). But since its hard to create something innovative on such small place and we dont just want to copy existing minimalistic HUDs we need your help to create this last small but important part of our HUD.
Suggested HUD contents:
Bullet/Mag count
Currently selected grenade and grenade count
Current fire mode (semi/full auto, grenade or rocket)
Main Menu
Wed like to show something innovative and new in the menu, but we didnt yet have that awesome idea we need for it. So if youre having some really nice ideas for our main menu in mind this is for you!
Menu Points we need are:
New Game
Load Game
Settings
Credits
Exit
How exactly this stuff looks is up to you!
