I’m working on a material design menu for a game I am working on the side. It’s going to be seperate from the main game, but the data will connect together. I wanted this part to be super mobile friendly, decided to go with the new material design look that android apps are doing. Still a very early WIP.
This was all made with ROBLOX guis, no extra images or tools used.

Material Design?
I’m not a fan of the placement of the button. Firstly it’s on an element that isn’t the element that it modifies, which is already something you should watch out for. But then it becomes a close button which should always, no exceptions, be located on the element it acts on. Close buttons are pretty important so making sure the user knows exactly what they’re closing should be a priority.
I recommend making it into a little tab that’s attached to the top right of the menu and slides out along with it.

I’m sorry, I have to disagree with you. A button does not have to be on the same element it modifies. And a close button does not need to be on the element it modifies. I’m not sure where you got this info.
The entire method I’m using is material design, and it seems to be working for everyone else.
But thanks for the suggestions either way!

Um, no. That doesn’t make this material design.
I like it! Material design is pretty nice, I loved the lines turning into an arrow in the play store so I love this too haha
Nice!
If you fix the issues, then this would be a wonderfull GUI. Is is mobile friendly, and if so. Do you have any images of it ?
I was actually thinking about writing an API where you can simply “script” a gui very easily,
which would then work on all platforms, maybe looking a bit different on all.
(You would be able to test it in studio, like that “Current Device” emulator thingy)
But I realised I’m horrible in GUI design -.-
Nice gui you got there

Oh, it’s really pretty btw. 
I feel as if the X should tween to red when it’s forming into the X.
No, since Red on a Green surface is a big no no
I had a look at that document and it’s a very interesting read.
By the way, nice design.
