Now that I am done (for now) with the Starport, I have started mocking up the UI to be used while flying around in space. This UI will be used for both traveling around in solar systems and in hyperspace. A similar UI is also used planetside while in the terrain vehicle. I spent only around an hour on this so far. There are some issues with how Unity does UI layouts that I need to figure out.
looks good man. Although I’d suggest increasing the size of the play window and decreasing the size of the interface a bit. The main game window was probably only so small back in the day because computers couldn’t handle a bigger one haha
I have moved some of the smaller boxes to the right side of the screen to make the play window a bit bigger. I’ve made the play window as large as it can be. To make it any bigger I would have to also get rid of the messages window at the bottom. The play window is constrained by the fact it must be square. Don’t worry, the play window in the remake is much larger than the one in the original game. Check out the later posts to see the updates.
