Recommended Listening: The Shopkeeper by Rainbowdragoneyes
I'm keeping the OBS Crimes name as tribute.
Anyways, started making a simple UI in Aseprite, something I've never tried before. I'm pretty happy with the results for my first crack at it. I MAY restore the box on the left for dialogue and leave the box on the bottom for something else, but I'm still playing with what goes where.
Either way, I want to make a separate box just above the text box that show the item name, as well as add a timer somewhere since the whole thing was inspired by the arcade version of Forgotten Worlds.
Also, because I constantly obliterate the 4th wall every time I stream anything, I figure Bun-E03 should break the UI by leaning over it depending on what's selected.
Really should have contained this all to one thread but, hey. A lot of placeholder stuff here, but it works as a proof of concept, including parsing cursor directions from chat messages.
Most of today's progress was working on the art and coloring on stream, though I took some time to assemble things in OBS to check animations and layers. The UI and chat inputs work, and there were some good suggestions to include things like wrap-around to make navigation easier, which I'll think on.
Got a ways to go with the art and planned animations, but the foundation is there. It's been a fun learning process.
