After being distinctly not-happy with the last Homeworld UI sketch, I’ve done another one.

Yes, I’ve been playing a fair bit of Deus Ex Human Revolution recently, how could you tell?

It’s pretty late now – I’m going to be distinctly sleep-deprived tomorrow – but it’s been worth it. I much prefer the look of this game, maybe I’ll actually make it one of these days.

I’ve been toying with the idea of making a Homeworld-style space strategy game. I’ve thrown together a sketch of a possible game GUI in Inkscape.

I like the minimalist GUI style, but the trouble is – it only really works well if the rest of the game art style is similarly minimalist. Which works well with plenty of 2D games, but isn’t really suited to a Homeworld-style 3D strategy game. Ah well, still useful practice.
