the bottom are the tools, the container only appears when items are in vicinity OR you are searching a container. the character limbs will have different images displayed and colors based on your health. belt and holster only appear if you wear one. icons for each are displayed as images.
here is some current art designs i’ve made:
based on the project zomboid inventory tetris mod;
planned to be a grid system similar to escape from tarkov.
maybe a bit more gradient use, make the very white borders on the character tab more transparent, maybe some of the text titles even having shadowing, make the scrolling frame bar smaller and a bit more transparent, i see that the character borders are intersecting eachother, maybe just make 1 whole image without the intersections then give it a coloured frame inside if you want to simulate the character damage in tarkov. Belt, holster, and back borders are all intersecting as if theyre joining, make the slightly smaller or make the tab bigger.
Conclusion:
It looks great just needs more polishing, Theres definitely more that you can add but im just noting the imperfections. Take more time on it if you will. Else, Its still great.
thanks for the feedback, i would like to note the character is one image, it’s just a crappy pdn drawing using boxes, i could fix it but i think it looks fine for what i’m going for. the toolbar intersecting is fair, i’ll fix that, took me a minute to try to center those correctly. i was planning on also doing that frame inside thing like you said. also where do i use gradient?
EDIT
i’ll probably move the toolbar more to the right so it doesn’t look off when the container section isn’t there
oh sorry then, you shoudl give it to the text, and the frames because they look plain and boring, you should also implement it in your grid systems like the ones in tarkov (but the ones in tarkov are not quite noticable unless you get an object with rarity)
just curious, i was trying to have a medical system like project zomboid, do you know where i could put the bleeding or how i could show it? same with like showing deep wounds, scratches, or stiching? i imagine for bandages you just put the bandage image specific for which body part over said part. https://images.app.goo.gl/uqHUd5ks5Hnq1isR9
for the character, like you said they will have all individual frames to represent health, when your torso or head health is zero, you die. if your legs break, you are much slower. a transparent frame with inside of each body part showing a hole for a wound, a bone fractured for a broken bone, and blood falling out of the hole image.
