Kind Request to UI Designer (Kaz?) - Cursor Icon of Eternity


Recommended Posts

(I searched Ye Olde Forums and didn't find any mention of this particular topic nor did I see anything in the UI mockup screenshot to assuage my fears, so my apologies if this issue has been discussed already.)


 


One thing that really bugged me as I started playing Shadowrun Returns is the lack of a game-specific cursor icon. In SRR, the mouse icon is your default arrow (at least in the OS X version) and, I may be alone in this, this tiny detail breaks some of the immersion for me.  Therefore, my humble request for Kaz, or whoever is responsible for the final UI design, is to design a set of cursor icons for P:E along the lines of the old IE-style floating hand/gauntlet/other icons. If a gauntlet takes too much space or seems too unwieldy, something equally appropriate and stylized, e.g. something as simple as Starcraft's icons, would be nice.


 


Another, smaller and unrelated, request would be to add a space between the dash and the character/creature name in the dialogue box. I.e. Osmaer- into Osmaer - . That's just me, though.

Already got you covered!

I agree the gauntlet mouse cursors were a definite part of the IE feels™. Might be a while before we release anything with functioning UI however.

Thank you very much, Kaz! I can breathe a sigh of relief :) I'm very much looking forward to seeing more of the UI. You're mainly responsible for the scripted interaction scenes, UI mock-up and the dialogue box, right? If so, excellent job! I really like where the design is headed, especially with the dialogue box and the scripted interaction art work.

Your attachement to the details and understanding of the IE feel™ is inspiring and makes this little grouch even less grumpy.

 

Man, what a splendid day I have today - so many good news  :grin:

Thanks!
