Thanks !

i updated the new design with light perspective effect (wich should de-active on hover for best readability)
added mech shop link under the toggle-able mech list
added back the mech presets quick-access

Also this new design is inspired a LOT by some of the diplays UI i saw in this video :
wich also contain some very cool HUD that could fit great in Hawken  isn't it_

Basic mech infos view :



Mech stats tab ON :

Might want to make the windows a little less transparent so you can still see the text from the background (more so when you move your mouse around the mech). I will say the rounded top menu looks nice but it's a little disjointed from the lower windows because both the top and bottom windows are going in different directions.

Also the weapons window in KaszaWspraju's reply in my opinion looks better since it has more shape.

Tbh anything is better

Your UI designs were definitely reminding me of the ones in Oblivion, and now it makes sense why! That movie had some really nice looking UI designs. Nice, clean, readable, and futuristic.

I also agree that the angled windows on either side if the screen looks nice. It makes it look like you are either looking at a readout inside a helmet visor, or it is actually projected next to the mech in the garage. It makes it feel much more like you are actually in the garage with the mech.

A suggestion for the bar at the top of this version: Having it curved does not fit right with the angled side windows. Instead, separate it into three sections, the middle one is flat, while the two sides are angled along with the lower side windows.

This just keeps getting better and better... edit: I forgot to say that the colors on the most recent mockup are much more friendly with my type of colorblindness!

Thanks for the replies,
well I sure did send an e-mail about this dream job oportunity, but things are a bit complex since i'm in france, have a job, sucks in engrish etc..
But I would really really love being more seriously part of this uber-awesome-adventure and team

aaanyway,

here's some less cluttered and new/casual player friendly updates,
thanks again for the feedback

Default garage panel, nothing much than the current one :




Classic mech customization panel :



Statistic tab enabled :



Advanced stats tabs dropdown : (still looks awefull, but in progress.)

I really like the type and color treatment on this version. Maybe a tweak in points size on the smaller stat text would make it a bit easier on the eye's or darken the background box a bit, but besides that its perfect. I would really like to see how you would handle other parts of the UI like the lobby room with an integrated chat box into the lobby lay out and not separated like it is right now.

Right now for me the UI is the only thing that is somewhat annoying me as it looks so simple and out of place for such a beautiful looking game.

hehe because that said door is : 5,885.02 miles / 9.471,02 km too far to reach ( at this time ) and i'm not sure they want to/can handlie that from the distance. But something might be on the way =)

Thanks for the support ^^

[TheVulong]

You should be hired automatically, make a kickstarter project for the community to help relocate you and your family to Team HWK.

[VYR3]

This needs to go back to the main page, great things here.

[zaepp]

Every single one of these ideas is 1000 times better than what's currently in the game.
