Here's a sneak peek at the new UI styling and the new systems panel for Digging in the Dark. Steady progress toward the open alpha milestone. Can't wait! 😁
The old title screen for the game Digging in the Dark: six plain grey buttons set against a background of a rocky column. All the styling and fonts are Godot default. The new title screen for Digging in the Dark: same rocky column background, but the game buttons are stylized and colored, arranged in groups according to function. New snazzy font, too! The old gameplay screen for Digging in the Dark. Various user elements are displayed over a sidescrolling view of earth, forests, and distant hillsides. There are health and fuel bars, a cargo space bar, and a popup window showing the player's inventory of gems, ores, and usable items. A hotbar of item icons is visible along the bottom. Depth and Cash are displayed along the top as text. The new gameplay screen for Digging in the Dark: the same side view backdrop of earth, trees, and hills is much less obstructed by the user interface. The health, fuel, and cargo space bars appear the same way. The Depth and Cash displays are still text, but are now separate from each other with the currently selected usable item displayed between them. The hotbar is gone. Instead of a popup window in the center of the screen to display the player's inventory, a new panel spans the bottom of the screen, displaying the same information. The left pane lists the subsystems of the digging machine and their status. The center left pane shows usable item icons and their quantity in a ring with the currently selected item at the top of the ring. The center right pane is currently empty. The right pane displays the type and quantity of ores in the cargo hold as icons with numbers. On the far right is an eject button, currently disabled.
