Hi folks !

I just released a (not so) small update for my game's prototype.

This update focused on updating the user interface and having a bit more polish.

User Interface

The UI is now cleaner than ever. Still stuff to upgrade here and there but it is definitely an overhaul.

The two moves that made my UI way cooler :

1. Making a proper theme for my UI, with different UI elements.
2. Tweens. Those are such a powerful tool to use, I have no clue how I lived without them.

I updated the Settings Menu to have it's own "identity" (do menus have identity ??) while also adding a Pause Menu.

Also spend quite some time on the Bars (Health bar and Blood Bars) at the top left of the screen. Used quite a few shaders to gave them this look inspired by Bayonetta.

Polish

I began by giving the arena a bit more depth by adjusting the light system and adding a subtle fog (It's more visible when you play the game ;) ). Adds a bit to the ambience.

The biggest addition is having screen effects when the player takes a hit. It really adds that "oompf" to the game feel.

I also took the time to learn how to use Screen shaders and especially how to stack them together (Finally !). It really adds a lot to the scene.

See you soon

More is to come. I am still slowly but actively working on this game and I hope it'll be as good as I want it to be.

Thank you all
