lukaluka94 Game Designer	So i thought about game menu: Well as all other video games,this game obviously must have a menu right (:D) so lets take a look of its design. When you start the game,it shows all the cinematics and stuff (obviously when its done) and then it shows a little message like: "Click enter to start game" and on the background,theres a marine ship in the space. When you press start the camera moves to the hangar,where ramus is standing on the hangar and overlooking the planet in ruins,from there. After that different buttons appear on the bottom of the right side of screen,like in all games: New Game -> Difficulty Selection Singleplayer -> Load Game -> Save Game Selection Screen Select Mission -> Mission Selection Screen Well you all understand what this means,first (New Game) starts a new game and asks the difficulty. Second (Load Game) lets you choose the last checkpoint or your save-game. Third (Select Mission) lets you select missions already completed by you. And also,when you click campaign,the camera starts moving in the ship and stops in the Briefing Room where marines are standing and looking at the map of planet and doing some stuff which isnt important... (talking about tactics or something) Online Games -> Lobby Multiplayer -> LAN Games -> Lobby Multiplayer Character -> Character Editing Screen Well the first one is clear,it brings you to lobby where you'll find Rooms (games) created by players and you'll be able to join,or create your own. Second one is same,but it'll let you play with your friends with hamachi or local area network. Third one brings you to your multiplayer character,where you'll have all kinds of gear,weapons,symbols there which you unlocked in multiplayer battles and also some rewards. When you click multiplaer,camera will move on to place where there are many marines,dreadnoughts,droppods,and they are all getting ready for battle (well i still have to work on this one,any ideas?) Your Character -> Character Editing Screen Armoury -> Achievements Downloadable Content Well the first one brings you to you character creation screen in singleplayer,well you wont make character completly because he will be still ramus,but you'll be able to create his face and equip him with gear and weapons when you unlock them time by time during missions (same will be to squad members too). Second will be achievements screen,where player can see his/her achievement unlocked during gameplay (single or multi-player). Well about third.. i dont know,maybe some day will make some downloadable contents if the game turns out good. And about that,when you click armoury,camera will move to the Armoury Room,where you see all kinds of standart marine weapons and armor. Game Audio Configurations -> Video Controls Multiplayer Well you also know what this mean. First is game configurations,which means mouse sensitivity,game difficulty (maybe) and others... Second is audio configs. Third video configs. Control configs and finally multiplayer configs,where you change you multiplayer name,maybe internet connection options,in-game voice options and others... And when you click Configurations,camera will bring you to the tech-marines room,where he is working (fixing stuff). Credits Exit Menu Well what do you think of this guys? i think its really cool design for the game like this,i hope you understood that "camera moving" thing right? couldn't describe more.... I'll think of in-game UI later and write it here.

chaosmaster4 Head Storyboard Guy / Iron Warrior Warsmith	I was thinking of something similar, albeit a few differences... the Multiplayer lobby could zoom right out showing the entire khoronus system, which comprises a few planets and such. This vast view would show explosions and such on planets in the distance, and a few chaos and space marine fleets distributed around. this would symbolize the vastness of the multiplayer mode and how much the MP maps may differ (Seeing as many diff planets, many diff enviroments). The Ramus Stance was also good, however i was thinking we should put him on the planet looking downwards from a cliff outcropping or mountain, which would allow us to put much more detail in, as from a hangar he cannot realy see much. But then we could put campaign into its own lobby and switch multiplayer to warfare. this way, we could have all backgrounds included. would of course mean more work, but it would improve the overall quality. -- "The meaning of Life, is to give Life meaning" -Chaosmaster4 "Monsters tell stories of me to their children to give them Nightmares!" -Wolf Squad "Bear" (Too Human)

chaosmaster4 Head Storyboard Guy / Iron Warrior Warsmith	Don't forget that the campaign is also multiplayer. It will (hopefully) be exactly as lucrative as the MP Warfare mode. -- "The meaning of Life, is to give Life meaning" -Chaosmaster4 "Monsters tell stories of me to their children to give them Nightmares!" -Wolf Squad "Bear" (Too Human)

No point how hard you try,you wont make Campaign as multiplayer,because its the thing that games want to achieve today,but they cant,because of AI isnt that intelligent to play as a human. -- "My faith is my shield"

chaosmaster4 Head Storyboard Guy / Iron Warrior Warsmith	Could be aimed at casual shooters though, i mean not every gamer is a pro. And if owned in MP, he/she will want to own some bots to feel good besides, some of the enemies in the campaign will require either good AI or teamwork. or do you think a single squad of tactical marines can take out a Daemon Prince on their own? -- "The meaning of Life, is to give Life meaning" -Chaosmaster4 "Monsters tell stories of me to their children to give them Nightmares!" -Wolf Squad "Bear" (Too Human)

Maybe not a single tactical squad,but a veteran squad with a captain in it... well that doesnt matter much now,but dont forget about Difficultys in game,even if AI is really smart. -- "My faith is my shield"

chaosmaster4 Head Storyboard Guy / Iron Warrior Warsmith	Of course we dont want a second fire warrior. that would be an epic fail on our side... We want action and huge battles on all fronts! We can't allow the players to walk 10 feet without seeing any kind of hostility! -- "The meaning of Life, is to give Life meaning" -Chaosmaster4 "Monsters tell stories of me to their children to give them Nightmares!" -Wolf Squad "Bear" (Too Human)
