So to start off, I am by no means a GUI specialist. I just randomly design concepts sometimes, and they rarely get ported onto Roblox itself. But I have been working on a small project lately, and wanted to try get a basic concept, just so that if I can’t do it myself, I have a reference for someone to use.
And honestly, I’ve had no inspiration or ideas. I’ve tried to look for some UI that I thought would be fitting but so far have found nothing. How do you guys find ideas for how your UI should look like in your game? Do you guys normally find someone and just see if you like what he does?
Also what do you use to make your UI?
This is the project I've been working on, if any of you guys have any suggestions for GUI styles.
What is the game about? Where is this located? Are there any stores/special features we should know about?
I also make my UI with Studio, but you can also use Photoshop.
I typically research games of both a similar concept and style, and pay much closer attention to their design than I normally would. Sometimes I even draw multiple sketches, based off everything I’ve seen, and pick my personal favorite.
As I kind of alluded to in the previous paragraph, in the end it’s up to you.
If I really like a sketch of mine, I’ll take it a step further and use a vector graphics program called Inkscape to make more defined measurements. Sometimes I’ll download screenshots of the games I’ve studied and meticulously measure their UI and, once again, choose sizes that I think work best.
Honestly I started this just because I was bored and I wanted to take another shot at making a game. It started off with something else, then I found a low poly pack someone made and decided, screw it, I’ll use it and see where things go.
Right now I haven’t really thought out what the game will be about, but a concept is that it will have missions/quests you can complete for rewards.
The game is located in the desert, you can see it in the map.
idk about special features yet, as I haven’t done much brainstorming for the game objectives, but it will definitely have stores to purchase weapons (maybe), vehicles, and other stuff. I also plan on maybe having store where you can purchase things with robux as well.
I know that you need a lot of these things already figured you to start UI, which is why I just want to try get a concept or a feel for what the UI would look like if the game ever got finished.
