Hi everyone! I’m a solo dev who specializes in programming, but I can do most game-design-related things. I’m still trying to get better at UI design for my game. Can someone tell me how I could make my UI more navigatable and readable?
The theme is supposed to be slightly cartoonish, emphasized by the doodled background. Primary color is yellow, secondary is red (based on ROBLOX’s 2005 logo)
(I personally think all of these are fine, but I’m having the most problems with Custom Round’s menu.)
(You can see the baseplate because there will be a physical lobby!)
The story mode and multiplayer mode buttons are in a different style than the background menu and game logo. I think it would fit better if you used a button style that fit with that drawn/cartoony look. You also have a style clash in your fonts, your logo and “scroll for more” use 1 font but the main buttons and the fact text use a different font.
The exit button should be located at the top of the menu, because thats where the exit buttons are usually always at, when the player wants to exit the menu, theyll instinctively look at the top corner first.
The join and leave button doesnt make that much sense where it currently is right now, you should have one button for both joining and leaving. If youre not inside of that crew, it should say join, but if you are inside of that crew, you should switch it to say leave. It saves space, and just makes more sense.
Also the ( + ) icon would look better as an text button that explains what it does, like; “create crew” or something abit more readable.
I would change the scrollbar side to be on the left, it feels out of place being in the center of the screen.
For the angled part, i would make it straight down the middle, maybe add a wiggle effect to match the style. Right now with it being angled, the map description kinda hangs of the side.
if youre having the camera view as the background, i dont think its really possible. You could try it with sprite sheets, but the setup for that would be annoying
