Alright first of all, you should probably have some different fonts in there just to give it some extra spice.

Secondly, you could probably have some more sharp edges (rectangular) instead of making most of your UI everything have a rounded border.

Finally, you can take inspiration from other people’s designs. Just don’t flat out copy their designs, but take aspects you like and just uh add it to your book of techniques.

Oh and one very last thing, you can probably replace these menu / topbar text buttons with some imageButtons with clean icons. Make sure they are very easy to understand (for your younger players).

You can also add gradients to your UI / different colors in your main UI elements to make them pop out more…

The style of the buttons does not “feel” medieval.

Maybe look up "medieval gui”.

I saw a lot of examples. Here are two:

The other thing I noticed is that there is a lot of flat gray behind the gui.

Maybe replace it with a castle wall texture of something:

And, of course, update the font to match the new style.

Thanks for this idea, I will try to make it more medieval while keeping the darker style.
