Menus

Ive pretty much finished my menu's now. I went back and made all the menu's interactive so you can now see what they will be like in game. I've started making some images of the ingame screens so I can add the game GUI.

Been a while!

It's been nearly a month since I've updated this blog so let me fill you in.

I'm currently creating a GUI for a game that I have decided to make up. I could of gone for the easier route of choosing a game already out there, but I wanted to see if I can make one from scratch. The hard part really is the fact I have no images of the game, I have to make up the game play, settings, story etc to really get a GUI that fits the game's style. But to be honest I'm enjoying it.

I originally was going to go for a horror type of game, but when I started the project I decided to go for a comedy FPS that's done in a cartoon style, similar to Team Fortress. Also by doing this I can create some images that the game might look like in cinema 4D because I have the "sketch and toon" module which creates good Cel Shaded images/animations.

So far I have my user analysis complete, comparisons to other games that are like mine and I've also done some sketches. As well as that I have made the main menu screens in photoshop and then transferred them over to flash. It currently works how I want it too I'm just wondering what music to go with it (Yeah I music's not technically GUI, but why not put the extra effort in). This weekend I'll probably start on the actual game GUI which includes the HUD and map system.
