Orbit view: UI Mockups FAIL

By

Description

Failed UI mockup. Nobody else seemed to like the look :(
But I did, so I'm putting it up here. A UI update won't be in the upcoming demo, but there should be an updated UI in the main game.

Some things of note:

1. Nebulas! I want to have certain systems act like you're in a space nebula. It looks crunched at the top because i was trying to quickly fake the perspective in photoshop. The nebulas would be moving in the game.
2. The Dark gray shiny side menu
3. ICOM online: Hint system to help the player in certain key situations (like just starting off)
4. Loss of the Star Trek fonts.
5. Large fonts to make it easier to see on a variety of platforms and resolutions.

Ooh. Wow! Looks beautiful. One thing, the ICOM kind of removes a lot of the point of the ur-quan masters game as it's all about your exploration, and you choose what to do next. It's open ended. The ICOM ruins this, especially for new players. It's reminiscent of the biggest failure (IMO) of SC3, which was that little eye which told you what to do next.
