GUI Question :)

[zomb88]

Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on GUI positioning on 2 things

1\. HP/MP bars at top or bottom of screen, refer to screenshot's below.

2\. Horizontal or vertical HP/MP Bars refer to screenshots below

This are old screenshots and my game is currently going under GUI development.

Hello,

I really like the layout of the 2nd screenshot, however the chat seems out of place due to the rectangle gap beneath it. So if you could think of something to sort out that I think it would look pretty good, but that is just my opinion.

At this stage ive got an xp bar going along the bottom of the screen.

No menu for inv, spells etc im going to have those key binded.

hotbar in middle and chat to the left (as it now fits with 1280x720)

debating what to do with the hp/mp bars

Vertical bars are nice but the problem is how the chat becomes positioned

[harrison858]

Position the chat like it is in the first screenshot.

I like the icons in the second screenshot, maybe make it vertical along the right side of the screen so you can fit the chat properly.

As for the HP/MP bar, in my opinion, remove the avatar box (as the 2nd screenshot), and make the HP/MP bar wider, and keep it in the top left.

OR:

Make a circle in the top center of the screen, half HP half MP.
