Blue Stasis // Rigel Sairen

& It's finally finished!

Rigel is the main protagonist of Blue Stasis, my 2d horizontal SHMUP/brawler. She is a Hydronaut, specializing in surface/underwater combat. She has a rocket-powered surfboard & her boots also have mini jet boosters. On the surface she uses a retractable beam boomerang, underwater her surfboard becomes a rocket-propelled sword. Yes, this is a surfing game. With explosions.

UI Exercise

My exercise for today, the in-game menu user interface. I can't deny my compulsion to load down the screen with information. Trust me I TRIED really hard to be a minimalist, lol. One constant in all of my games will be the scoreboard keeping track of how many times things happen.. important things, & sometimes random things.

Hitting LT will cause the screen to become aqua instead of cyan, as it is the boy's character page.

I've never made anything like this before & I need to stop before I add something else to it.

HUD Exercise

Project Meridian HUD
Just a quick initial preview of the heads-up-display. By quick I mean, this took like three hours... This is my first attempt at actual user interface design. Clearly I'm no environmental artist, as I opted for wireframey lines! But the mech looks... okay. Remember the point of this exercise was the HUD!!!

I really like the classic, pixelated look on the HUD for that retro 2d platformer feel.

Need more diagonal lines. But I'm going to bed now.
