Looks 50 times better in the new revision! My only immediate suggestion is that the text for the different experience bars (eg: Lightning Exp) is kind of large, and runs up against the preceding bar. Maybe make it a bit smaller -- the text size you have for 'spellbook' is a good size I think, and very readable. Looking so much better now. Great font choice this time around as well. I don't know where the new icon style came from, but it's greatly improved as well. Keep this look consistent throughout the UI and I think you'll be great.
You can find the iHIG here. Again, I cannot stress its importance enough. I'm liking the redesign, a vast improvement from the original draft. Although it does need some work. I'm not really digging the background texture or the 'Quick Spells' font. Otherwise it's coming along really well! One thing about fonts, if you're going to design a game you'd better pick one font and stick with it. And it should match your art direction.
@ NickFalk - I understand what you mean. If I wasn't the one who did it I would find it hard to fathom as well. It's amazing what a little thought & about 12 straight hours & a HUGE energy drink can do. =) @ Lazypeon - I think you right about the font size. I will change that. I am working to make sure it looks consistent throughout. The only trouble I'm having at this point is the stupid title screen. I'm gonna leave that alone for a while though. I will come back to that later. @ The Game Reaper - Thanks for the link. So, you suggest having one main font for everything eh? That makes things simple =) @ To All - Just wanna say again thanks for the help. As I said before design really isn't my strong suit. I am trying to keep things as low budget as possible & therefore only spending $$$ when absolutely necessary. So, I appreciate all the feedback. -JGary
