Author Topic: Ideas for a new Blockland menu  (Read 2266 times)

I think Blockland deserves a more modern and cool looking menu, and well those are my ideas if Badspot updates the menu of the game

That looks really cool.

I like it, except on the join-game menu. I don't think it should be confined to one small box, i think it should be fullscreen, with the same layout.

don't like the main menu, it feels too much like an iphone or something, I like the loading screen tho

I don't like a menu where i have to wait forever for some stupid animations to finish before I can click buttons

And the join menu looks useless, it needs to show player count etc

It takes 1 or 3 seconds to wait, that's almost the same time it takes to load the gamemodes and add-ons list on the in-game menu, also like on the video title, it's a concept, it wasn't intended to show everything, just a design style

I'll say here like I said on the vid
What if there was an option to change the menu background music (If there is to be a menu background music.)

the animations are cool, but should be faster, and the join a game menu seems a bit empty. the menu buttons in the middle should have some space from the logo and maybe a little mute button at the side of the screen would be cool

i really like the player appearance menu but the ground could be a different colour

Here is my opinions

Set Up- Neat, but since I don't have 20-20 vision and I see mainly through my left eye I would prefer it stick on the left side of the page, perhaps you can change its positions in the option menu (left, middle, right)

Loading Animations- Neat, would be cool if it would play the brick 'click' noise when you see it.

Loading Screen- I dislike it cycling your pictures there instead. I think the main menu should still do that. For the loading screen with game modes, now I think it would be better if there was a set of pictures for each game mode it would cycle instead. The pictures would be part of the game-mode file so you could look in there for them.

Selection Set Up-
 Game Modes: I dislike this one for various reasons. First of all with the set up you suggested you have to scroll to get to a certain type. in some cases this could be a hassle. How about a design where there is a minibar at the bottom showing all of the game modes. You select one and it appear taking up about a 3/4ths of the screen. It will also list information, name, author, ect. The set up you show barely fits anything in.
    
 Server: Ok this one simply doesn't show any information about the server, just a picture, host name, and server name. There is also no filters or options to change server presentation layout. Considering this is a new style for the menu I think it would be cool to add in a favorites list and another list that shows servers hosted by people who you have build trust with.
 
 Player: Just make it full screen. Or the largest square possible that can fit into what you have.  

Only thing I didn't like was that it looked a bit small and a bit slow while opening the player menu, server, etc.


I don't like any of it except for the loading screen.
