I played almost all space sandboxes and simulators

Design is important, but if UI is clean and readable it's enough to make players happy, because you spend many hours in sandbox, and all that "beautiful" things only distracting.

welp, you are getting one more hopefully

... at some point
really focusing on this now
and i am not giving a shit about writing terrible code if need be which is why i've restarted this project 5 times cause i wasn't happy with the code
so screw that

Aqua•1/12/23, 11:51 PM

however since ive done it so many times before it doesnt take me very long to implement the basic stuff which is good at least

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 12:14 AM

Hmm

Kai•1/13/23, 12:14 AM

I thought what KSP did with their menu was very smart

Kai•1/13/23, 12:14 AM

they have kerbals floating in front

KKai they have kerbals floating in front

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

Sounds irritating

Kai•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

you could do similar with cubes or a small craft or whatever seems appropriate for your game

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

Especially if They can block UI elements

Kai•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

Kai•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

this is what I mean

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 12:15 AM

Ahh

Kai•1/13/23, 12:16 AM

they are basically stationary iirc, maybe wobble a bit around

Kai•1/13/23, 12:16 AM

imo the menu to the side thing is very nice, but with just a planet it may end up too empty

Kai•1/13/23, 12:16 AM

so I thought this was clever

Aqua•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

aaaa wtf whenever i think i've come up with a unique menu another space game has done it
my previous menu was a copy of space engineers and now my new one is a copy of KSP
lmao
idc
i like it so

Aqua•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

mine was gonna be kinda similar with like flying ships and stuff going around the screen too

Kai•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

eeh it's just a menu

Aqua•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

yea exactly

Kai•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

only so many ways to do it

Kai•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

I know a couple of games that look quite similar

Aqua•1/13/23, 12:17 AM

a lot of games nowadays, being unique is quite hard

Aqua•1/13/23, 12:18 AM

or do you mean menu

Hanprogramer•1/13/23, 1:06 AM

i always used minecraft main menu in all of my games :v

flykeOP•1/13/23, 1:13 AM

Look at small Unreal games - often they have exactly same main menu. People just use same free assets, no problem if it works.

Redhacker2•1/13/23, 1:35 AM

I like the HL2 or TF2 style menus

flykeOP•1/13/23, 4:12 AM

I tried to figure out how Stride devs draw Avalonia controlls in 3d view, even installed editor

.
And found that they do not draw any UI in 3d vew. All buttons on side border, not in 3d veiw. Problem solved - its impossible

RRedhacker2 I like the HL2 or TF2 style menus

Hanprogramer•1/13/23, 1:18 PM

isn't TF2 basically the same game as HL2 (the engine)?

Furball•1/13/23, 1:22 PM

The menus are completly different in both

Hanprogramer•1/13/23, 1:49 PM

aaaa

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/13/23, 3:15 PM

Hi guys!

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/13/23, 3:16 PM

Recently been searching for a good .NET/C# graphics library to use later for personal projects and decided to give Silk a try

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/13/23, 3:16 PM

Currently I don't have much time to try stuff out, but I'm still gonna stay here in case I have questions or just wanna chat. I hope that's fine by you?...

Lyris the Kitori•1/13/23, 5:56 PM

yea all good

flykeOP•1/13/23, 6:04 PM

I found tutorials about open GL, but they are for version 4.x. Are any serious differences for between 3.3 and 4 ?
