>makes something original>gets mocked for not making the same UI as everyone else
>>748875209Kill all Indie troons
>>748875209Absolutely bizarre, in an indifferent speechless way.
>>748875209the brownoid fears this level of soul
>>748875187>make a stupid and pointless feature>people tell you its stupid and pointless>:(((((
>>748875209SOVL
>>748875209to be fair......it does look like ass
>>748875209The cube menu is better than the actual game.
>>748875413It looks cool as fuck, it's just really disorienting.
>>748875209I like unique UIs but that looks and feels awful.
>>748875209those menus gave me cancer
>>748875209should've called a joke or an obscure refrence to something
>>748875209Every game should have a cube menu.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOcpcBQu00MOnly thing that indie needs to do is not have the fog render over it though for or use the emissions, since you want legibility to be the primary concern.
Looks like the types of stuff they were trying to pull during 6th gen games. They had this weird mysticism vibe to a lot of games that would lend itself to these sorts of choices
>>748875209Whats the problem? I dont get it
>>748875187>something original = instantly good!!!Stop being intentionally stupid..
>>748875209That’s something you do for a title screen, not during gameplay.
>>748875209One face of the cube would be fine and the words shouldn't be so angled. Interactive menus work best when there's only a few choices on the main hub.
>>748875209Kino.
>>748875209This is like a combination of the Payconauts main menu and the Fable 3 menu system where instead of a normal list UI it's a physical location you load into with vendors for each utility. Which is to say it looks like such rancid shit that I can't imagine how you'd come up with it, but I deeply respect the effort and vision.
>>748875209It looks like ass, but in a way that feels like it could've been in an early 2000s European adventure game. I like it
>>748875209looks cool though
>>748875209yeah nah options of all things should be clear and concise
>>748875209if the cube slid in from above (or perhaps randomly from any direction), blurred the screen for its background instead of that weird fog and didn't have the jarring white flashes this would be kino
>>748875209i loled
Look up norglorb's ordeal settings menu can't post that myself I'm at work
>>748875209It could be a lot more readable but other than that, I like it a lot.
>>748875209There’s genuinely an interesting concept there but fucking rofl
>>748875209Best example of forced soul I've seen
>>748875209This should've been OPs post, instead of Twitter screenshot. I like this though, I get that it might take a minute to understand but it's not a big deal. Novelty is just worth it, that's what art is in some ways.
Reminds me of Riddick's menu. That one was neat.
>>748875209Pure fucking kino. Ball and Gun gamers genuinely shriek at the sight of soul.
>>748875339>people tell you its stupid and pointlesshe replied to himself tho
>>748875209This is just dogshit version of menu from Riddick games lol..
>>748875187Double down on your artistic nonsense or die a spineless coward.
>>748875209that's cool, might take a while to get used to
>>748875209I like it, it reminds me of those video games from the 2000s.
>>748875209I don't get the problem desu
>>748875187Yeah, don't do this. I guarantee y'all games aren't that special and deep for me to get a headache just to go into the settings menu.
>>748875209Excellent idea, poor execution.Needed another iteration or two, that's all.
>>748875209Why does it lag though? also it doesn't matter how soulful your settings menu is, the text has to be actually readable from a quick glance. Like, was it really necessary to cover the screen in fog? Neat idea but it needs work.
>>748875209I’m just confused because the first second with the girl feels like fantasy but the cube feels like radicool 2000’s scifi
>>748875187>>748875209Sovl but it needs improvement1. Too overcomplicated, put only basic settings on the cube. Advanced settings like manual graphics settings or keybinds should be on a regular screen that pops up. The popup window can be themed or stale.2. Too laggy, there are more loaded assets on the settings screen than the regular game. It shouldn't be like this at all.
>>748875209Why is watching this making me motion sick.
>>748875209too much soul but thats always better than the alternatives
>>748876239just be mad and stfu
>>748875187OP you're acting like the entirety of twitter went to dunk on this guy, but the donkey qrt is the only one that expresses disapproval and even then the replies disagree.
>>748875209This is cool as shit, why are people so retarded?
>>748875187midwits seriously overvalue originality for the sake of itits not a replacement for functionality, readability or responsiveness
>>748875209That's just the 90s kids version of riddicks menu
>>748877762That's /v/ for ya
>>748877769t. 2-dimensional thinker
>>748875209Would be fine if it rotated faster and faced the camera directly instead of at an angle.
The only issue I have with it is the viewing angle combined with the small arrow graphics next to options.>>748876239The people with "UX" degrees at Ubisoft or 2K didn't get their salaries that are as high as their companies engineers for the making of this.
>>748877769>its not a replacement for functionality, readability or responsivenessYou can have that too with some more work. Aim higher.
>>748875209Holy based
>>748875209I genuinely don't see the issue with the cube itself, though the fog and lighting needs to go or at least be toned down. Keep it to a side patch for visual reference or something.
>>748876948How does the menu being different make playing the game any more fun?
>>748875209Should take some notes from the Gamecube System menu, specifically getting rid of the fucking clouds and just have the cube isolated. It doesnt have to be pure black space but make it like a starry night or something that doesnt get in the way of the actual cube.Cant fault the dev for trying though, rule of cool always wins
>>748875209This is what they call "forced soul"
Make games more uncomfortable and inaccessible on purpose.Dismiss quality of life.Design levels like you're a schizophrenic meth addict who's out of touch with reality.Retvrn to challenging the player.
>>748875209original but complete shit
>>748875209Looks like eye cancer. He should kill himself instead.
>>748875209Eh, it could use some work but it's a neat concept.
>>748875209I think the menu looks pretty cool personally. A tad too much fog effect and I'd change it so you open to a full face of the cube and each menu gets its own face. The actual game part is clearly wip but its whatever looking. Also the menu should never lag, so something in there clearly needs to change.
>>748875209needs a pride flag
>>748875209I miss every game having different menus like this though.
>>748875209It's cool and could be workable if it doesn't control like shit, but needs more visual clarity absolutely. Clouds and post-processing are one thing, but maybe a different font. Maybe just best relegated to a sub-menu that concerns something like character stats, skills, inventory, etc, than game settings/options.
>>748878434There's a lot of design space between boilerplate and what-the-fuck-is-that
>>748875209Looks cool.
>>748875209It's difficult to parse as is but conceptually I don't hate it. Dump the fog, lower the bloom, maybe experiment with the fonts a bit and it should be fine.
>>748875209that looks fucking rad but when I try to read it my eye starts to twitch
>>748878624But it was fun to find games with crazy UI choices and game design choicesI liked seeing devs be crazy and expressive even if it turned out bad or hard to understandI agree with >>748878193The dev will change this due to bullying into boilerplate and that's lame and he'll make no money or fans regardless so it'll all be for naught in the indie blob anywayI want more cruelty squadsStandard ubisoft ui makes me depressed in every game
>>748875209The cube should occlude the fog, that would solve most of the problems with it.
>>748878887you retards always have to bounce between two extremes when my post was LITERALLY about how there is plenty of reasonable room between the extremes I wish you would die
>>748875209Holy kek
>>748875209Yeah all devs mad by this are just jealous they lack creativity. This looks kino
>>748875209LMFAOOOOOOOO
>>748878976Your compromises with normalfags are why video games are boring now, extremes are better and you know this and that's why you go to the extreme desire of wanting people with different opinions to die.You can't compromise with normalfags and encouraging anything that makes things easier for them used to be considered heresy.You're not honest about your feelings at all
>>748875209If the devs dropped the fog a little bit and made the font more readable, it would have been excellent. Also the frame stutter doesn't help.At least they tried being creative in a non-disruptive way.
>>748875209Real OG Xbox vibes.
>>748875209You know what this is cool. he might need to simplify it a little but hes got something good goin.
>>748875209I like it, though I agree with others that the font and fog could be more legible.Every part of the game can be fun and interesting, even the menus.
>>748875209this nigga loves fog
>>748875209His heart's in the right place, but as seen with the disgusting character design and the UI design he just has absolutely no sense of aesthetics.
>>748875209Reminds me of Black & White.
>>748875209>>748875187fucking retard trying to show it off but clicking from settings to graphics in less than a secondfucking idiot
>>748875209Sorry but I can't read that without squinting so it's dogshit
>>748875187>babby's first realization that original doesn't always mean good
>>748875209wtf this is really fucking cool
>>748875209Did a wtf when it popped up but it'd be fine if it was just more readable
>>748875209Hell Yeah
>>748877769thisyou dont need more. Just stop being antisemitic
the font could be reworked to actually be readable and remove the clouds, otherwise it's kino.
>>748877941The problem is that the UI designer didn't aim higher, they aimed for "originality" but neglected the other 3 core things needed for a good UI. You're not even disagreeing with that anon, it just looks like you're just bizarrely shifting blame onto him for pointing out that an "original" design is dogshit if it lacks functionality, readability, and responsiveness.
>>748880604It's a preview from a pre-alpha build, m8.
>>748875209This is really cool, very soulful. It could really stand to have a clearer font though, it took me four or five attempts to figure out the word nearest to general is sharpening. Honestly with just a few iterations of improvement, like the font, a quicker spin, less of an angle for the view, it could be something really good.
>>748877769>t. ranime autist who is function over form
>>748875209wild how not a single dev in the entire industry whether 1 man army indies or billion dollar teams knows when to stop fucking using fog everywhere even on the menus. it's fucking startling that people just see no issues with it being this way, and of course he's yet another fucktard elf lover, actual soulless assembly line pod people. anyways it looks cool
>>748875209Siiiick
>>748875209Looks fun, very PS1.zoomers absolutely deserve soulless minimal squares in every single game.
that's fucking based I'm sick of every game having this same dogshit ui>>748880449
>>748877769Originality is cool. One game mechanic I've never seen is one where the menu system is a physical item in the game that can be lost. The most brutally unfun mechanic I've never seen is the idea that the save/load part of the game is an acquired ability, and later on you run into a mob who can steal it from you, and if you don't recover it you can no longer access the menu and if you die the game starts from the beginning again.
>>748875209The menu is actually cool, but if he'll need to add new setting categories, then it will become pretty messy. Even now "Sound" seems to be listed as "General".
>>748877769This anon is right. True creativity is combination of two things: novelty and usefulness.
>>748875209Cool idea, execution could improve and take notes from the gamecube menu.
>>748875209sovl overload
>>748875209UNFATHOMABLY BASED UI DESIGN
>>748875209Soul
>>748877769TRUTH
>>748875209that's fucking beautiful and downright SOULFULbut I swear there was an og Xbox game that used a cube for it's UI menu as well
>>748875209Absolute kino, but lacks readability.
>>748877769>its not a replacement for functionality, readability or responsivenessYes it is.
>>748875209>oost ooocessing
>>748883096I can’t tell if the letters are getting cut off or it’s just one of the shittiest fonts known to man.
>>748875187I want an UI to be>A. Minimal, unintrusive, literally "fitting" into the game (see: Dead Space)>B. Light on performance, quick and responsive. >C. Well designed, pleasing to look at>D. Readable on a glanceThis fails at 4 out of 4 points. It is literally laggy and unresponsive in the webm, it looks like ass and is hard to read and it has unnecessary shit slow animations that make using it just tedious. It also doesn't integrate well into the game at all and is a full screen overlay opened with an annoying white flash.It's ass. It's not soul. It's ugly. It's Annoying.
>>748883276I'm guessing the latter. If it was getting cut off, it would happen to some other letters instead of just p and r.
>be a faggot>get called a faggot>be sad about itLooks like shit and is retarded
>>748875209>
>>748883492You're ugly and annoying.cube menu is soul.
>>748875209>argh, these cubes again
>>748883492I got you bro here's what you want
>>748883492It could be refined to fit at least 3 categories. Modern AAA flat ui can't and will only ever be readable and lightweight.
>>748875209great, but too tryhard. there is a cool concept there, but it needs to also be quick and easy to use.>>748880449nta but yeah, there is such thing as "too original". sometimes ideas are original not because nobody's every though about them but because everybody thought about them.the menus you posted are dogshit too, slow to use and difficult to visualize everything at once. they are made to confuse you to buy more mtx shit but even games without it use them to their detriment. suicide squad menus had 9-10 fucking tabs you had to scroll through left and right because they thought having equip, loot and stats in separate tabs was a good idea.>>748881481lenin the lion. it's a tumblr game but yeah, it has that mechanic.
>>748875209Hmmm... This works, though. It unironically works. I like it. It's nnot like you open settings all the time - it's a one-time open, and resume, exit, etc are easily accessible, so it's a retard/aestheticlet complaint
>>748883602>>748883705Calm down, Ali. It's not like you're making a serious game that you wanna sell that little college project of yours can have whatever turd UI it wants I doubt anyone will care.
>>748883890Yeah, there's no reason to reduce barriers to the settings menu. It's not like you'd want to turn off retarded settings that take a fat dump on your GPU *before* the polygon graphics start loading. The vast majority of PC players who'd immediately go to menu to turn off blurring, upscalers, and chromatic aberration are just retarded philistines who don't know TRVE ɅRT
>>748885071anon, it's a one-time adjustmentI never return to the settings menu after the initial setup
>>748875209SOUL
>>748875209The coolest part are the instantly visible changes.
>>748875209Like the idea, the readability could do with a little work but it's a cool concept, reminds me of PS1 game menus
>>748875209I hate minimalistic indistinct smartphone UIs as much as anyone else but- The font looks like shit- The bottom is obscured by fog while the top is crystal clear- It takes too long to rotate- It stutters5/10 for effort, I guess
>>748875209CUBEDEFENDER OF THE POLYVERSE
How much time do you spend in game menus for that to be a problem?
>>748875209This shit is why valve playtests.
>>748875209
>>748875209kino and made me kek
>>748875209Make the cube rotate at a constant speed without that inertia effect and make the fonts more readable and it's good.
>>748886591the shit webm resolution isn't helping
>>748875209It's a fine concept but the way it's presented is fucking awful for numerous reasons.
i miss xmb bros
>>748875209I really like this
>>748875209I personally don't mind the cubeshit by itself, but with the texts so fucking unreadable, might as well consider all of it as garbage.
>>748886624But if you don't pass much time in the menus do they even need to be unique?
>>748875209>please solve this rubik's cube to update your controls
>>748875209idc about this but here's another reply
>>748875209just ripping off the riddick menu, indie devs are all creatively bankrupt
>>748875209HOLY SOUL, fuck modern AAA games and incompetent hacks that make them
>>748875209it turns out there is such a thing as too much sovl
>>748875209this is really cool.I'll be real, for the past 3 years I have developed hatred towards the average people. everything being pandering to them has ruined culture across the globe
>>748875209Pretty neat. I imagine it would take a bit of getting used to but it looks cool so who cares?
Every studio needs a menu guy tbqh. Someone who's wires are crossed and who gets their jollies designing and implementing menus, otherwise menukino wouldn't exist due to the horrible toll menu dev has on normal human psychology.
>>748875209Holy jank
>>748875209if this was a 2003 game, the same twitter zoomers would be posting the exact same video going "OMG SOVL!!! Why can't modern devs do this? We heccin lost the technology!" so I feel bad for this guy
Pretty good, but needs more interactivity.Maybe they could make it so that you feed it or it wont let you access all menus.or maybe let you climb into it to access more options.
>>748877769Originality is needed in evolution, you won’t be able to discover a new optimal strategy if you aren’t willing to experiment with a random mutation every now and then.
>>748875209>DISOLNYworst font of all time award
>>748875209>>748875187Do you HATE yourself? Why would you ever put this much work on yourself willingly.
>>748875209KINOINO
>>748875209This is perfect, it would filter low-iq retards so bad haha
>>748877045>>748877191>>748877045>>748888680You guys.
>a genius admires simplicity>a retard admires complexitysimple as
>>748875209PVRE undiluted soul straight from the 90s, just make the transition a bit less jarring and tone down the fog.
>>748889316But it's not complex.You're just retarded.
>>748875209While it doesn't look great I can respect the attempt at making something unique. I didn't like Persona 5 but I really diged the stylish UI and wished it would inspire devs to get more creative with UI. Tired of bland ass UI.
>this exact tweet just appeared on my front pagemore proof that you're tracked everywhere on the internetinb4 why do you have a twitter front page
>>748888424yes, because details are important, people always complain that games don't use reflections on mirrors anymore but it's nice when you see one.
>>748889456it is needlesly complexmaybe put that attention to detail in the actual game?
>>748875209Fun and unique the first few times, gets extremely annoying afterward when I just want to change a simple setting at any given moment and have to go through all of that. KISS is a design philosophy that many follow for a reason.
>>748878434>Unicorn Overlord's menus
>>748875209SOUL OVERLOADthey should make the cube part of the game somehow
>>748889549listen im very down for fearmongering about algorithms but now youre being retarded>a /v/ user>who likes videogames and certain topics>happens to have a similar feed to the /v/ user who created the threadits not rocket science. theres only so many massively trending posts to go around at any given day
>>748875187from amazing ideas to shit terrible ones, i respect any and all attempts to stray from the baselinet. Y-chromosome haver
>>748875209>>748875187riddick had a cube menu
>>748877941>You can have that too with some more work.He didn't say it couldn't, speedreader anon. He just said "it's not a replacement", which is absolutely true. A menu should fulfill its function first, if you go in wanting to be cute about it at the detriment of it doing the thing it's supposed to do, that is a bad design.
>>748875209Holy sovlIts more complex than a bare bones vertical list of options thus scaring away barnyard normie cattle
>>748875209It's less practical than a regular menu but also insanely soulful, like something from a 5th or 6th gen game. I think the best option would be to have the options listen normally, and only have the cube be a backdrop and the turns be aesthetic after picking an option.
>>748875209Any thing wrong with it is the visibility. Tone down the fog a bit and perhaps consider a more readable "high tech" font and it's a great, immersive menu.
>>748875209>Here's an Weeb Albino Night Elf.>Here's the Alien CUBE (tm)Immediately sucks. Doesn't matter if the idea is cool or if it's executed well. If the artstyle doesn't fit the game, it clashes. This would fit a weird PS2 Alien Game, doesn't fit Anime WoW.
>>748875187I don't play games for their menus. A standardized UI that takes 0 seconds to learn because it's in every other game means I get to the game part faster.
>>748875209It just need some visibility work and it would be fine. The font and cluttered nature of it are the main issues.
>>748875209SOVLthe architecture of it reminds me of the menus from Oddworld
>>748875209The idea isn't bad, it's just the font that's completely unreadable.
>>748875209i mean thats fucking awful thoughas a concept its over but thats really fucking hard to read, its a settings menu man
>>748875209Looks rad only negative I have with it is that it shouldn't be the options menu
>>748875187>make something weird>get mocked once>"boo hoo hoo oh the misery! nobody in this world want originality!"lmao
>>748875209Now this is the good kind of polarizing game design.I actually like that the font is so stylized you can't read shit.The fact that half the replies are complaining about fills me with joy.Games just don't cause emotions like this anymore.
>>748875209Woah include me in the screencap
>>748875187>>748875209People say they're tired of the industry being stagnant slop, but then freak the fuck out when somebody actually does something weird.
>>748875209Changing one thing should change another setting on a different part of the cube. Life if you turn on antialiasing then change volume, you also saved the game because youve rotated part the cube
>>748889791How often do you have to change settings that this would become a problem
>>748875209soulful BUT really now... at least use a readable font
>>748875209absolute ludokinoonly vidya enjoyers allowed
>>748875209KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>748875209I think the only problem is that the text for things like Control and General need to be made bigger and stand out more from the text in the menus.
>>748875209why do trannies
>>748875209Would be fine if it didn't have a gorillion options. It goes from cool and charming to obnoxious and autistic.
>>748875209Very cool, like a 5th gen options menu.
>>748876948>xitterniggers >making real poststhat was never going to happen
It's the same thing with music. Normgroids are so conditioned to have generic ambient soundtrack in their games that hearing actual video game music upsets them.

>>748875209this is sick
>>748876754LMAO
>>748875209this is retarded but in a very sovlfvl way and I wish devs were willing to take chances to make something cool and possibly a little cringe rather than everything being optimized minimal garbage

>>748875209Lmfao
>>748875209That UI is shit, i give it extra credits for trying to be unique but it looks like shit and it causes nausea.
>>748897457We need more riddick cubes in the world
>>748877769Yeah and all houses should just be plain boxes that are identical to one another. And why do we need multiple colors of paint? Just use grey for fuck's sake. God I'm sick of these midwits who think different colors other than grey somehow "add" something? I'm a faggot retard autist anime watching troon btw
>>748875209What a fucking badass UI,now THAT is art
>>748875187This thread proves that we are invaded by brown subhumans
>>748875209I actually kinda like the concept but there is a genuine issue of readability that is not great for a menu. Lowering the graphics settings made it easier to read. I understand wanting to use a rune-like font, but that is also somewhat detrimental.
>>748875187Now this is a good thread /v/
>>748898458It's a statement, not a lot of developers make statements like that anymore. I think conformity and uniformity is important, in theory. but I also like it when people do things differently.

>>748875209People wouldn't have a problem with this if the spins didn't take forever to complete to the point where the separation between menu pages is muddied. If the spins were snappy, he'd get universally good reception.
>>748875209That's really cool. Especially with how dogshit and uninventive UIs are these days. Why would anybody complain about this?
>>748875209It's a neat idea and I like it, the only issue is the font being a little too unreadable, so having it on a moving object only makes the issue worse. Just use a more legible font and they'll be golden
wow that looks so cool, I bet the game's style is some Abe Odyssey shit and->animu
Looks good, you shilling it here means it's finished right?

You've got all these delusional so-called creators, these self-proclaimed writers (yeah, right), running their mouths about doing something "no one's ever done before" and being "original". Here's the truth. If nobody's done it, it's because people who actually know what they're doing already thought of it and threw it out. And if you can't even understand why the classics work, you're never going to write anything good. Not now, not ever. You're not some visionary. You're just a hack who doesn't understand the basics.
>>748875209Thanks doc
>>748875209lord please kill everyone who says this looks bad or whatever so we can have interesting and cool games made with passion againI hate the mobs tendency to sand everything interesting or unquie down to the same bland shit
>>748875209>people complaining that it takes too long/v/ wouldn't survive Terranigma
>>748875209If the game is good they could get away with this and people would like it, if it's generic people would hate it as just a gimmick to make it stand out
>>748875209This is good. Anyone who thinks this sucks is a faggot.
>>748875209Looks like something out of a 2001 game. Awesome.
>>748875209I think the execution could be polished up a bit; more readable font and text angles and fewer options per face. But conceptually, it's neat.
>>748889918I honestly don't remember much about the menus from UO, and I did a fair amount of colosseum play after release.
>>748875209this post doesnt deserve 200 (You)'s
>>748875209I like this, just get rid of that fog
>>748876948Webm threads aren't popular
>>748875209Fuckin' sick.I wish the transition between THE CUBE and gameplay was a little less jarring though.
>>748875209What the fuck, I love this. Clunky as hell but pure unfiltrted soulNow put me in the screencap
>>748875209Cube menu is not a bad idea, but this execution is very bad.
>>748875209this is amazing even though i know it will piss me off
>seething (YOU)lets mad
>>748875209Why's it okay when zelda did it in Ocarina?
>>748875209Visuals aside; how in the fuck do you change the settings using a controller? They're diagonal, it would be a pain in the ass.
>>748875209sweet just like butcher bay
>>748875209This looks fucking awesome and anyone who called it shit is retarded. The only possible complaint I'd have with it is that the angle should be a little less extreme.
>>748905207Well, I don't see any (You) so it must be true
>>748905281probably a destiny styled pointed you slowly drag across the screen with your stick
>>748875209why do i get flashbanged by the menus?
>>748875209>The P6 menus be like
>>748875624
>>748875187>its trademarked
>>748875209It looks cool but it doesn't match the games setting.
>>748875209SOOOUUUUUUUULLLLL
>>748875209Not even the best AI slop has ever gotten this many (You)s, food for thought.
>>748875209I miss early 00s games having batshit UIs like that.
>>748875209cool menu, shame about the game
>>748875209this looks awesome, only nu/v/ would hate it
>>748875209Unironically can look kino but it needs less shitty effects and more visibility.
>>748877769trvke, midwits stay seething because they don't understand how a menu can be both stylish and functionalthank you, witmaxxed aryanime-poster
>>748875209>tone down the fog (maybe make it so it only renders behind the cube instead of over it)>make the P and R more legible in the fontAutomatic slam-dunk kino with those two changes. Even as it is now it's still pretty good.
>>748875209I'm more bothered by how bland the actual game looks. It feels like two completely different games awkwardly mashed together.
>>748875187>>748875209at that point you need to double down and make it even more complicatedSquare up, if you will.
>>748875209This looks cool and soulful. But, how did we reach a point where a grossly overpowered modern PC struggles to render a fucking cube? It should be running at silky smooth 1000 fps. A single stutter is failure.
>>748875209Thing is, an action you don't need to do often (like changing a setting) can be a bit clunky/slow without it negatively affecting the game. In fact, it can be a positive thing if it conveys the right tone. That menu looks awesome, and anyone complaining about it doesn't know what they're talking about
>>748909678It looks like the stuttering is when the graphics settings are being changed, which seems pretty normal to me.
>>748875209HOLY KINOhow much of a fag do you have to be to not like this?
>>748875209actually sovlkinothis shit was almost a standard back in the day
>>748875209That's literally just the chronicles of riddick cube.>10 people already said itKill that dev with a hammer for being such a hack
>>748875209This is gonna be so much fun to navigate at the wrong resolution
>>748875209Soul. Put me in the screencap.
>>748875187I dont get itThe artist is replying to himselfAlmost saying>holy fuck this is hard why did I do thisUnless the quote tweets are angry faggots
>>748875209It fucking sucks, dude.
>>748875209devs sure are finding creative ways to squeeze you out of a steam refund by wasting your time
>>748875209cool concept but jesus fuck it looks jarring I would probably hate it after the novelty wears off
>>748875209why didn't you just post this first you fucking jeet
>>748875209It's not bad but why the fuck there's fog on top of the text
>>748875209Sovl.
>>748875209Yeah, i'm thinking based!!!!!!
>>748875209we're going back to the 90's with this one
>>748877769Behead and rape all UX niggers.
>>748875209Is the game going to be good or have an interesting setting? The character model doesnt inspire confidence
>>748875209Have you tried removing the fucking fog and making the text bigger
>>748875209While yes the menu may need some work to function better, I still prefer this over a generic UI.
>>748909318based
>>748875209Y'ALL BUNCH OF FAGGOTS ARE THE REASON WE HAVE GENERIC COPYPASTED SLOP, DEVS ARE AFRAID TO TRY SOMETHING NEW CUZ THEY KNOW YOU BUNCH OF FAT NECKBEARDED INCELS WILL JUMP ON THEIR THROAT AT ANY NEW IDEA THEY CAN THINK ON. ENJOY YOUR GENERIC UNREAL ENGINE SLOP SOULS GAME N°5000.

>>748875209Ebin
>>748875209By the amount of replies I would have guessed that you posted the REAL alien picture in the desert or some shit
>>748888910>due to the horrible toll menu dev has on normal human psychologyReal. Creating cool and fitting menus without using a cookie cutter template or framework requires a special resistance to the frankly satanic forces of boredom and drudgery that the unsuited mind simply isn't equipped to withstand. We owe a debt of gratitude to UIfriends for carrying this burden and delivering us unto neat menus.
>>748914825so originalality = ugly slop?
>>748875209Now that is neatA bit busy though, make the cube open to reveal more detailed options inside.
This thread.
>>748875209Tranny looking game but the early 2000's setting cube is sovlful
>>748875209NeatThough the execution could be done in a little more user-friendly manner. Having some text outright vertical is just retarded
>>748875209would be better without the white flash
>>748875209It's really not that bad. The font could be more clear.
>>748875624Do you think his soul is still trapped in Jenny McCarthy's ghost backpack to this day?
>>748875209K I N OINO
gave me a massive nostalgia rush thinking about playing mp3s from limewire in a riced out media player
>>748875209This is fucking god tier. The font and the fog unironically make it better.Games used to take you to another world, not just feed you avenues to spend more money.
>>748875209>you've opened the box
For me, it's Enclavehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjNhIcGVArM
>>748875209Gaijin fear the Settings Cube
>>748875209Absolutely nothing wrong with this. You're 3rd world if this filters you.
>>748875209I like the idea, just needs to be cleaned up. Could even go further and have the character pull up the cube herself as the camera zooms in with DoF to keep it readable
>>748875209Unorthodox but not that bad. The only problem with imo is that the text is angled like 45 degrees and radiates out from the corners, so it's a little uncomfortable to read. If they just laid out the text in a standard/vertical way they could keep everything else.
>>748875209I, too, am in the replies
>>748875209Put me in the screencap coach
>>748918747Be not afraid
>>748917475THISEVERYONE WHO TALKS SHIT NEEDS TO SHOW THEIR UI
>>748875209AI could never come up with this.
>>748918069its all white people seething about it thoyou think third world chads even have a conceptualization of what UX should look like other than "cool" ? their houses are rat mazes, none of them care about functionality
>>748875209I laughed but genuinely felt PS1 vibes moment later. I think I like it desu.
>>748875209Reminds me of something... was it the gamecube that moved around like that specifically when messing around with the memory sticks? I think it's the closest that comes to mind.
>>748923395Think it might've been this.
>>748875209It's fucking hideous but I respect the attempt.
>>748923395Yes, which is probably the point. Modern inde devs are absolutely captured by their nostalgia for the late 90s and early 2000s, so everything they make is just a blatant attempt at pandering to their likeminded audience.
i look forward to the first dev that makes the settings tesseract
>>748875209the absolite SOUL emanating from the vdeo when he activated potato mode
>originalChronicles of Riddick did this 22 years ago.
>>748875209JESUS WEPTI HAVE ACCESSED THE SETTINGS MENU
>>748875187>>748875209>makes something shit>gets mocked for not making a functional and non-shit UI as everyone elseCorrect.
>>748875209>IT'S JUST A PUZZLE BOX>Oh no, it is a means to change the settings
>>748875209>231 replieswtf?
>>748875209reminds me something you'd see from an original xbox game
>>748875209Why does that shit run at 10 fps lmao
>>748875209This one got the chuds mad
>>748875209This is amazing. That said it's terrible. You don't need to reinvent the wheel just for the heck of it.
>>748917475It's bizarre that people are just saying it's badnone of them can even explain whyfucking sheep
>>748875209Cool. Even better if the cube actually has lore shit that explains how it is altering the way you see the world.
>>748875209>mentally ill nelf type characterYep buying this day one
>>748875209Soul Check: Passed.
>>748875209More effort put into the menu than the game.
>>748909318It should turn into a hypercube when you get further into the game.
>>748875209Massively based and soul full. More games need this instead of MUH flat clean design
>>748875209It's so in your face that it ironically loops back around to not being immersive, because instead of your brain subconsciously processing it as a neat in-world detail all you can think about is how unique and heckin soulful it is
>>748875209very retro
>>748875209Lowkey based. Blows modern UE5 minimalism UI out of the water.
>>748875209pretty cool desu
>>748905580This image has always bothered me because no 8 year old in 2015 is going to have a favorite actor from Ghostbusters, a movie that came out in the 80s .
>>748905207okay samefag desu
>>748875209looks fun to me
>>748875209>its ok when crapcom does itfuck you guys
Haven't seen this many (You)'s in a very long time>either i gone back 10 years or this is supreme botting
>>748875187I know no one in this thread really gives a fuck, but somehow everyone missed the fact that the dev is replying to himself in the image, and the "I understand now why more devs don't do this" is them talking about how much of a pain in the ass it was to make
>>748875209pvre fvcking sovl...
>>748875209I dunno, it could work if he didn't go full retard with the text.
>>748877769Yes.... but you can sacrifice some of it to maje it soulfull... you are not wrong, but i dont like you.
>>748875209This is the kind of aesthetic you want for a character menu, not a game settings menu.
>>748875209Riddick?
>>748936817>autist unaware of his disability >autist thinks he is the only one who understands something obvious>autist understands it wrong Anon...
>>748938203your post is more autistic than anything I could ever write just type normally
>>748875209ermbased
>>748876239It isn't a terrible and barely usable menu that looks familiar to people who only play garbage games, so it's bad.
>>748875209What am I supposed to be upset about?
>>748877769Originality for the sake of it is a good thing. It's called experimentation and novelty, both things both thing which give us a deeper understanding of game design. That doesn't mean originality on its own can overcome bad design, but there's nothing wrong with trying and failing especially in a small indie game.
>>748875209Unironically cool as fuck.
>>748875209Nice handlebar. Hella wood.
>>748875209Looks fine for a concept piece, I'd keep it
>>748877769Regardless of the replies not one person would play a game because of a UI like this. They would complain its trash because the dev has a milkman that knows a school teacher with a jewish student.
>>748875209Put me in the screencap
>>748875209put me in the screencap
>muh heckin artsy fartsy menurinos just like in muh unclsop gamesNobody wants this trooncoded slop. Give me clean and clear UI.
>>748878434sex with shinonome
>>748875209Fuck. Off.
>>748875209The settings. You changed them, we came.
>>748875209I wish I had this as a vr setup to post on 4chan like I'm in the matrix
>>748875209Can someone summarize the reaction to this? My immediate reaction is that I like it a lot. But it seems like some people really don't? Do most people seem to like it or dislike it? I can't be arsed to read the whole thread.
That's why you gotta be careful telling people what you care about, you just know the dev was some autist that was posting in the UI ritualpost threads for years hoping to fit in
>>748875209this is like an annoying dvd menu back in the beginning when they were trying to show off
>>748875209A gave it 10 seconds before I posted a reply. My initial impression changed. It could actually have been kino if he wasn't a progressive faggot and went with Gold glows and a runic script like font. So close even with the shitty clouds and purple hue.
>>748942301The fuck just read the thread you lazy cunt.
>>748936817Anon he is posting the issue of what his worries are about. Not replying to himself retard it is called adding onto for context.
>>748942173teeheehee
>>748878193Modern-retro.High system density.Be the remnant of a lost craft
>>748875209This is great. Where's the problem? Reminds me of PS2 era soul
>>748941476That's cool and all but why are you telling us how much you love gay sex with men?
>>748875209gay, lame and overdesignedthis place will love it
>>748875209What do the accessibility settings do?
>>748875209Literally LITERALLY the only problem with this menu is the fog and texturework making it harder to read.
>>748942301You can just use AIs to summarize it, which are tailor made for lazy fucks like you.
>>748875209looks cool, whats the probelm
A minimalist, fluid, and visually pleasing UI? Is that so hard to understand? Midwits continue to amaze me every day
>>748875209I'll take this a million times over the shit we get in westoid AAA shit
>>748875209Reminds me of ps1 era eventually you do get used to this kinda weird options setting and it's not like you change things often
>>748875209The only problem with this is the fog hiding the text and the text itself being pretty unreadable for the most part.
is this genuinely the most interesting ui element that's happened in gaming in the past decade
>>748875209I too made a reply
>>748875209Points for being unique but it looks like a hassle to navigate
>>748875209this wouldn't bother me if the text was clear.
>>748944457it's just a low quality video that fits on 4chan's archaic file limitsnone of us know what it should look like, video quality sucks
>>748875209if you hate this, there's literally no humanity left in you, a soulless corposlurping huskjust fix the text by making the 'A' and 'R' normal and it's perfect
>>748875209i appreciate the effort. with some polishing and less visual bloat it could look nicer.
>>748875187>Name Ali AljubouryGood.
>>748875209It's neat but I hate the blinding white flashes to get to and from the menu
How come I want to talk about video games I get 13 replies on a post while some cube gets like 300+ replies? Not hating on the cube I just don't know what is actually happening on this site anymore. So some of you guys come in here from twitter somehow or discord when a post is trending?
>>748946656Because specific game threads will only get visited by people who played that game. But a /cube/ thread is appealing to anyone who's seen game UIs before, which is everyone.There's no conspiracy. If I tried making a Zexion thread it'd die two posts deep too. If you want video game threads that hit bump limit, wait for GTA 6.
>>748946656>>748947271Turns out is a very polarizing topic.I saw 4 kinds of opinions>THIS FUCKING SUCKS, it's not functional at all>This could work, but it needs to be fixed>SOVL, it's great as is, maybe a tweak>I LOVE THE WAY IT SUCKS, IT SHOULD SUCK EVEN MOREIt riled people up and asked an important question:>Should a main menu be purely functional so that intrudes into the game as little as possibleor>can a main menu be expressive even if it is at the expense of the players convenience?This thread, I think, is a good argument to anyone who doubts if games are "art".Not the cube itself, but the reaction and discussion that it caused.
