Thread: Interface

    Default Interface

    I know this was discussed in the old forum but I thought it would be a good idea to bring it up again and ask people for thier opinons.

    My idea for a gui would be a DK1 gui in almost every way but the physical look of it would resamble DK2 and possbly an extra option for imps.

    I think a new updated UI would be better to support the new features of WTFO. It could have the same layout but mainly it will need to be new but still keep the DK style

    I agree with that, but where do you think the gui should go: the top, the bottem, the right, the left or should it pop up when you press a certain button.

    I think it should go to the left of the screen.

    left. putting it on the bottom is the dumbest thing ever as you end up with a long, stretched out camera view, which is just weird.

    no letterbox no thank you.

    by putting it on the left it makes the viewing area more square, which is much better than a letterbox

    Left or bottom? Bottom or left? No GUI! Back at days of DK-1, they didnt have transparent UI in their arsenal. Given the power of modern videocards, a much more interesting GUI solutions could be found.
    (just consider the Dead Space - style gui)

    If we didn't have a gui all we would have then is a slightly alterd black and white game

    Considering the widespread use of widescreen monitors today, I would also say on the left. Also, how basic as this may sound, I would really like to hide the interface with a press on a button

    I vote for a more "Classic" bottom view. 1st, 95% games use that, and we are used to that. 2nd, It makes an illusion of a larger screen resolution, which ends up in more comfortable gameplay.

    The GUI should definitely be on the left.
