- The bottom is empty. Exp bar could be put there, so there's mor
vision in top.
- Also, I think left-side text could be smaller (noy much, through).
Also, maybe grenade and bullet icons could share text heigh.
- When displaying health text (40/100), the limit part (/100) could be
smaller and placed different. I think about something like 40<sup>/
100</sup> (test this code in a wikipedia page). This way, keeping the
current health text size and getting the health limit text smaller,
you could align it with health icon better.
- I think weapon icon size is okay. It could even be a bit bigger, but
I like it the way you pictured it.

first non-circular mockup.
For guns: I don't think it is important to tell the player what weapon
they are holding.. or make the bullet drawing explain it.

feadback. I think, it's a better, than first version.

Note that we must leave some area for messages (currently messages are
displayed on bottom, I can use less sized font to display messages).
I want to see some indicator that will show if there are available
points for level-up.
Also I don't like full-width xp-bar.

And I like some ideas from qubodup and will try to present more
minimalistic variant (compare to my present) this week.

mode at least.
I think HUD should be more "integrated". Currently we have a couple of
images and symbols. They are poorly linked among themselves. In an
ideal the game should present a certain style, and HUD should not be
an exception. While the game haven't defined style, HUD may won't have
it too, but the developing of style can be started with HUD. Main
important things are one-style images and accurately picked-up range
of colors. For example, images of bonuses are made in one style.

gets my idea across. I think I included everything that is needed, for
now, that is.

anyone have some ideas, what it's need to be? May be some games, where
we can take some ideas. Or some icons. Or smth else.
Adrián Chaves Fernández
While there could be more versions with a different style, I like the style
and the distribution of the different elements you've done.

May be, it's better to show only current level number, and if player
have some points to update indicate it by showing some icon, blinking,
flashing or smth else?

number would display an "up arrow" to indicate that there are
available perk points. Either that or have the level number flash, but
not an on/off flash, it would be a glowing flash.

when you got to a new level. Other than that, It's really simple and
easy to follow.

experience I can cut from the fake. What weapon shells and grenades
should I use?

Sounds good.

one ting i have to point on is, that e.g. the minigin should have
about 800 shots or the flamethrower has just a tank.
i think it would be much easier to make that with just a pic of a
bullet/tank/battery with a numer in it, like tolls hud2 has.

We always can make minigun to have infinite ammo but get over"warm" after
using it too much time straight - so it would have, instead of bullets, a
"warming" indicator. Anyway, I think using a number instead of as much bullets
as the gun uses is the better idea.
Iwan Gabovitch
This might look bad though, so instead a progress bar might be good to show how much ammunition is left.
sakuramboo
bullets, for the chain run, there was more bullets than could be
displayed. I believe they had 30 rounds, but the chain gun had 50 (if
I remember correctly). So for the first 20 rounds fired, the number
displayed did not change. Personally, I like the infinite ammo for the
chain gun with an over heating status bar. But, the same for the
flamethrower. Just show a status bar for their amounts.
There is one other thing, though. For all powerups, there should be a
smaller time bar on the side so you know how much longer you have for
each power up. I can make up some mocks later of what I have in mind
for this.
sakuramboo
That is my HUD with the powerup notices.

What is the state of HUD now? I see some new elements implemented, but
not all.
Nikita
complete work on HUD and then to release version 0.3 of Violetland
with current state of features. I don't know exactly date, may be on
this weekend, may be later.
