Boox Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 (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.
Sensuki Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 I would like a gloved hand with a pointing finger like the IE games plox. 2
Kaz Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 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. 4

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. Edited December 11, 2013 by Boox

Kaz Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Thank you, means a lot! *goes back to pushing pixels around*
Silent Winter Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I agree on the new logo And the cursor icon news is welcome too _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form*
milczyciel Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 <drooling> 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 Thanks! "There are no good reasons. Only legal ones." - Ross Scott It's not that I'm lazy. I just don't care.
