Hi @whiteebony82, welcome to the forums.

I don't think we have many people working on UI right now and I have wishes, so I'm looking forward to you joining ship.

@Stan` Do we have to make the people publish their email address in applications? Can't we just use the one from the profile?

Very interesting portfolio! What area of the game are looking to improve? Any specific ideas in mind?

 

I'm okay at making mockups, but no good at coding them.
 

Spoiler

I think the UI of the game could use a ton of work and improvement and modernizing.

I don't know if @Vanthaneeds any help, but you could swing by the encyclopedia topic. He's trying to make a dedicated UI for the encyclopedia texts.

@Gurken Khan and @Stan` thank you!

@wowgetoffyourcellphone I didn't have any specific areas in mind, just tell mw what you need and I'll try to knock it out. As far as modernizing, that's probably what I'm best at, though, I am getting better at more rustic looks... I'm growing!

@ShadowOfHassen I will check that out!

There are also plenty of moldy dds textures where to source files are missing, if you are into restoration that might be something worth looking into as well

Welcome @whiteebony82!

 

In regards to the encyclopedia GUI page, it is in stage of finalization already, so the necessary UI elements have already been created. And for doing that all by myself, I'm pretty happy with result.

However, the design is not set into stone. And in fact, I'd appreciate if you could take a look at it, test it out and tell me what you think could be improved.
We could also meet on platform of your choice to talk about the details. Feel free to PM me!

@Vantha I will check it out!
