Hi!
I’ve been building for a long time on Roblox for other people (mainly groups), so recently I’ve decided that I wanted to pick up other talents and give my own group a shot.
So, I’m just starting out on the place and I wanted to get the game systems done prior to building anything since I figure the systems will be the hardest part for me. Last night I drew up a sketch of what I want my UI to look like in GIMP. Here it is:
Obviously not to scale, lol. This is just to give an idea of where everything will go. Anyway, after giving it some thought I realized I’m going to need a LOT of rounded corners, custom icons, etc., so obviously I need to start using a paint software for this GUI. Here are my questions…
-
Which paint software should I use? I’m running on a Mac. I drew up my sketch on GIMP, but I heard raster paint softwares are bad for UI.
-
How big is the Roblox screen? Should I just go with 1920x1080? I want to make sure the scaling doesn’t result in pixelated distortions around my images.
-
How should I go about exporting only specific elements and breaking the GUI apart while still maintaining the proper sizes? Lots of the parts of the GUI are gonna be moving or variable, so I need to have each asset separated.
-
Tips to make my UI look more professional? How hard is icon creation for things like the exclamation point in the triangle or the minimap?
Thank you so much!
