My wife insisted that having the big HUD bar on the right wasn’t a good move, and that it would be better to show space across the full screen and overlay HUD elements on top. I was open to it, but mostly resistant. I figured the HUD is so important that it’s fine to give it a large dedicated space.
Of course, right after that, SplatterCat covered Fates of Ort and spent a good few minutes complaining about the HUD letterboxing the game and taking up valuable game space. I’ll tell you the expression on my wife’s face was rather smug.
So anyway, I’ve been working on removing the dedicated HUD bar. It’s still a work in progress, but I want to share anyway. Which version do you prefer?
