Re: Wills and Wonders screenshots; likes and dislikes
I think its mainly lacking in general typographic consistency. For example, on that last screenshot of the 'resume game' screen why is there such a big space between the banner/heraldry and the game stats? And then having the "Saved Game 2" crammed up in the top and corner of the box. Spacing is big issue on all the… -

- Oh yah, just a cheap way to do it but it will be changing. - Just overhauled how the text is handled recently so that is ready to go. Can you give me an example? - Do you like the style of the BG otherwise? Basically add more detailed terrain? Thanks for the feedback. -
Re: Wills and Wonders screenshots; likes and dislikes
Thanks ironbelly! Glad to hear you think were moving in the the right direction. With the UI overhaul we also plan to be overhauling the story aspects. For example pulling the stories from class upgrades and doing more story towards how the world is being shaped by the players actions. -

Oh man, I love UI critiques! I apologize if my response is a little wordy, but this is what I'm going to school for so I tend to get excited about it. I'll try to restrain myself :P Saved game screen: The text "Click to start a new game" get lost in the background texture. The X buttons in the corners also suffer from… -

I'll try out some shading on the text I have now and give it a look, but will hopefully have a custom font done at some point. Yeah I've really been stressing for depth, hopefully be able to get another artist or two in the future; two heads are greater then one. Thanks for the examples. -
Re: Wills and Wonders screenshots; likes and dislikes
Thanks for the advice. To recap; better looking buttons, special font/backgrounds for titles, and I think what your saying with your examples is the menus need more depth/layers. I plan to completely redesign the upgrading screen but do you think there are any aspects to the GUI that should be completely redesigned?
