I created 3 different UI redesigns of the No Man's Sky building interface and wrote an article about them - https://medium.com/@fernando1lins/redesigning-no-mans-sky-building-user-interface-23e8eae959ec #nomanssky #uidesign #medium #article #gameui #ui #gaming #ps4 #ps5

It took me probably a week and a half of "full-time" hours (done in my spare time) to get it to this state, figuring out how to structure the hierarchy in the right way so that the dialogue and scroll rect systems worked correctly (various things *have* to be children of specific parents, etc.) not to mention learning the *secret* way to get a resizing scroll rect to work, and how to align the text properly - all mini-nightmares to figure out 😅

Why I hate/respect UI so much:

- First screen is the notepad UI in game: an icon, text header, close button, auto-resizing scrolling text window, and two buttons that change what's displayed - simple yeah?

- Second screen is basic hierarchy of the notepad: purple is the dialogue system required elements, blue the text scroll required, and this doesn't count the scripts to control buttons, text content, and positioning with camera, etc. etc.

There's something so satisfying about having this fully constructed in Unity, after being mocked up in photoshop for so long. It feels more real.

Halfway real, at least! Time to add ~functionality~

Sometimes you can't get the Text Mesh Pro asset just right, and you have to go old school.

Even with Photoshop Actions, this was a meditation.

Ale to jest świetna rzecz! Pamietam jak gość to zaczynał kilka lat temu, ale potem zupełnie wyleciało mi z głowy.

Good morning, #GameDev !

It's probably known by most of you, but for those who don't (ie: me last week), you should check out https://www.gameuidatabase.com

It's an amazing website with a lot of #GameUI designs, searchable by type of screen (settings, title, credits, etc.), but one thing that I found amazing is the text search.

Try it; type any word, and it will give you the screens where it appears—a delightful use of OCR, if you ask me.

A few years ago, I created a free UI assets controllers pack for Nintendo Switch.
Here is the 2022 updated version of this pack. This asset is free under Creative commons license, fully vector / shapes based, and can be used in any projects, even commercially, check the readme.txt file in the zip for more details. Do not hesitate to share it with everyone. Cheers! #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #gameassets #uipack #gui #gameui #uicomponents

Wow, this is going to be so helpful to so many game developers. I've often wished for something like this myself!
