I actually Like the older HUD better… But I like that there is more information on the new HUD. That’s whats missing on the old HUD.
I think using less gradients and using more of some kind of (more or less) random patterns on the UI makes it look nicer, it’s hard to describe, though 
I also really like the skill effect, it looks really cool! 
Keep up this awesome work!
Haha, I agree
I redesigned a new HUD:
I think it looks better now (Longer EXP bar and can fit a longer name )
Thanks for the feedback!
Haha, yeah, the older HUD was way too small for me to be adding enough information to it, part of the reason we switched
The new UI is designed to look more modern, more generic etc. As this is more of a fantasy MMO it didn’t really make much sense to be theming everything with wood lol.
I also added translucency to the windows so you can kinda see what’s behind them (they become more translucent when dragged around)
And thanks I’ll post a video of the new skills later, they look so much better animated, trust me 
Feels the opposite to me. Wood effect seemed somehow timeless and unified, this looks retro.
Well, its supposed to look more modern 
For example operating systems have gone to enabling translucency in their windowing systems, etc. I just think that having translucency in the windowing system and making it color-skinnable makes it look more modern
I think the retro look may be attributed to the fact that I decided to theme it purple, but you can actually theme it any color you want, I just like the purple look
beautiful game looks very well coded from the snippets you showed. Will def keep an eye on this one.
For my taste, you shoud move the hp/mp/xp text more down and remove / move the Super GM text or give it some more margin at the bottom.
Also the bar gradients have a little to much contrast.
Doing so, revoves the cluttered effect some more.
But seeing how much nice stuff you made already, i cant really say stuff about your game. :-X
Thanks !
I try and keep code quality high ^.^
Hmm, you’re right, moving the text down makes it look a lot better ^.^
Still need to fix the xadvance on my sprite font >.<
Oh yeah, I like that design a lot already. I think changing the look of the bars to something using a little less gradients might look better…
Really like the direction the HUD is going, and I’m glad you are open to fan feedback 
Haha thanks!
Yep, I’m open to all feedback, if you have any suggestions or anything feel free to post here! After all we all just want to see a great game right?!
What do you guys think of adding an option to the HUD, to collapse it straight into 3 bars, nothing else, with the values of the bars right over them?
I think that might be useful for bossfights in future, where you don’t really care about seeing your level or your name displayed in the HUD
I personally like the new HUD better!
Haha thank you, it will only get better
UPDATE: Added ability to collapse the HUD straight into 3 bars instead of displaying a lot of info (and taking up screen space)
Uncollapsed:
Collapsed:
I like the collapse-able feature. I just think it’d look better if the bars were one solid colour. The white on them clashes slightly with the text.
So #2;
I agree. thanks for the feedback, im gonna change it and see how it looks.
UPDATE:
My artists are currently working on skill animations, I decided to post a few here and ask you guys what you think:
This looks really nice! I like the glowing effect, really cool!
What about sword swinging? Planned? In already?
You make me want this game more and more
Oh, my artist just put the character there as a reference, in the actual game he’s animated and attacking etc, not just standing still lol.
Better example:
Niiiiiice! I’m excited.
Skill Effect editor developed
Now just to finish writing the effect loader and we should see some amazing effects in game!
Wow. You’re developing in such a fast pace, how do you do that? :o
I dunno
I’ll post a screencast of me programming this game if anyone’s interested? ^.^
