A whole new world of possibilities and flexibility opens up with ASCII art and Code Page 437 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437)

Always fun referencing old #UI #mockup work when making new consoles interfaces. Gotta keep themes consistent (but meanwhile get to review all the little extra bits that went into their making!).

Each year I also like to share a batch of new (unlabeled) art as a way to foreshadow new items-to-be and get players imagining what these things might be :P

Cute #asciiart postcard by gumix for Polyducks, done in #REXPaint :D

@Polyducks has done soooo much awesome artwork in RP over the years. Gumix, too!

The following year I really needed a better ASCII art creation tool than what was available at the time, so I built one myself. #REXPaint was released for free in 2013, and has received numerous updates in the time since, many of them requests by other devs and artists, since it became quite a popular tool: https://www.gridsagegames.com/rexpaint/

Trying out different inventory window styles for #asciicker. Leather roll-up fits pretty well I think. Currently It's just a mockup made in #RexPaint but I'm going to add it to the game with next update.

New interface for SubQ now I've discarded the idea of having a forward-view in the top-right console.

Depth should be better represented by the blue gradient on the main map, with # symbols still indicating rock/impassible terrain.

The targeting console will be used to display, um, targets. As I plan on a detailed damage system for subs (hull, flooded bulkheads, fires, etc.) this square-based view, a la BATTLECHARS, should work well.
