Yesterday I posted a review criticising Miner Warfare for its menu. So I thought it would be only fair if I had a crack at fixing it. I plan to create a working main menu, as well as the following submenus:
• ‘Online Games’ – the user can join one of several online official games, or host one of their own.
• ‘New Local Game’ – the user chooses what players/bots there are, what map to play on, for how long, etc.
• ‘Settings’ – users can toggle the music and sound effects, as well as adjust their screen resolution, and choose whether to run in windowed mode or fullscreen.
• ‘Help’ – gives a brief overview on how to play, as well as containing pictures of each gun and their name.
• ‘Credits’ – a simple screen providing details about HeartBit and Benjamin Ficus, as well as linking to their websites.
• ‘Exit’ – not a submenu, just a button. Pretty self explanatory.
Below are some screenshots of what the ‘New Local Game’ menu could look like – note that I AM NOT FINISHED. There will also be a map selection, map timer, back button, and links to each other submenu.
Desura Users: Right click on image, and select 'View Image in Browser'
Firefox Users: Drag image to the 'New Tab' button. It should open as a separate tab.
Once this is all completed, I’m going to hand this in to HeartBit and Benjamin Ficus, and see what they think. Who knows? They may even use some of it.
