My first UI in several months - how does this look? (NPC chat system)

Hello!
So, I created this UI in about 20 minutes or so for a NPC dialogue system for my game, and I am looking for feedback.
I’m not really a UI designer, more so a scripter (that’s my job for the game), but I decided to try it out for fun.

I’ve got some mixed opinions on the results, but overall I’d say it’s OK.
What do you guys think? (please go easy on me :slightly_smiling_face:)

I love the smoothness of the animation, here’s some of my suggestions.

- You can probably increase the size of the dialog text, it looks a little small. And even the thickness of the text. Other than that it is a pretty well made dialog box great work!

Thanks!

I didn’t want to make it too big (as it’s already taking it more space than you’d imagine, actually), as I feel like it would be too… impactful(?) on the eyes, I guess.

Here’s how it looks with the rest of the UI:

Probably overexerting, but it seems quite big already to me.

I do see your point here, though - I’ll try experimenting with bigger text sizes :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s a very nice UI. Only suggestion I have is to maybe increase the border, it’s a little small in my opinion.

Ah, I see. Also very nice UI, but yes the only things I’d experiment with right now is the size. Other than that it’s very well done!

I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean.

Its okay nevermind, your Ui looks great it was only the options (choices) that needs to be separated from the text (dialogue box).

Ah, gotchu.

But wouldn’t that make it hard to see the options when over a bright surface etc?
I put them all into 1 big frame holder as the frame holder has a dark fade color, sort of blurring out the background and making the text stand out more.

Yeah that make sense, but why not putting them separately in their own box (not transparent).
Well am gonna try to make an illustration.
Just like this :

I agree that would look better to separate the Dialogue and the Choices

You might want to try seperating the dialog and the buttons, apart from that, everything looks fine.

(Tween too fast?)

I too think that the tween is a bit too fast, but through past experience I realized that people really hate it when they have to wait too long when doing something… So I had to haste it up :sweat_smile:

Its ok, it was just a suggestion, your UI is very well made i like it.
It doesn’t mean that if someone said that you should update it means that you must do it, do it as you like, its your game after all.
