Diegetic UI elements prototype (Part 2)

I’ve made some tweaks to the design and improved the diegetic UI for my ‘Alien’ character. Based on feedback, I also added audio to enhance the UI—when ammo drops below 25%, a beeping sound plays alongside a flashing color.

I might need to zoom in slightly to make the player character bigger and the indicators easier to see.

Diegetic UI elements prototype

For this week’s game design course assignment, I’ll be focusing on UI/UX, specifically prototyping diegetic UI elements for a game prototype. I’ll be working in 2D and using Unity to demonstrate how these elements function. For now, I’ll try to organize my thoughts by creating a diagram of what I want to accomplish. I made this diagram in Miro, and it’s shown below. The picture above says it all. Essentially, there’s a player character with attached game objects that display the player’s state without needing a game HUD. It’s a simple yet highly effective example of diegetic UI. Health system: The health system will be represented in four states (100%->75%->50%->25%), each state will be represented as a color on the player's helmet/ visor. The player starts with a 100% health state and will progressively degrade when the player gets inflicted with any sort of damage (e.g. fall in lava, gets shot by a laser cannon, hits a space mine etc.) Weapon /Battery system: just like ...
