One of the fun things about the way I'm designing this GUI is that I can put a fly-cam back in and walk around.

It occurred to me that some of these might make good desktop backgrounds:

Those are kind of small, though.  Maybe I will make some new ones when the rest of the UI is built out.

Thanks.  I sweat a lot over these little things. Smiley

When going with minimalist set design it's sort of a requirement, though.

Since there seems to be questions arising because of this, I will explain what "nexortical engine" is.  Smiley

It's a nearly nonsense term I made up for the "technology" that allows you to travel to the worlds of Mythruna.  A Nexortical Engine Console is what you use to dial in coordinates to a specific world. (ie: set the seed in real life terms)

I wanted to conjure the idea that there is some massive machine somewhere allowing this to happen and that there are potentially hundreds/thousands/?? of consoles that provide access to this power.

It's purposely vague so that your imagination can fill in whatever it wants.  You starting user interface starts off with a desk, a nexortical console, a stack of world journals (where each world's characters live), etc..  There may also end up being little slips of paper and post-it-note style messages lying around in the UI... sort of obvious easter eggs that help set the mood.

Like a little slip of paper sticking out of a book that says,
Quote
Just because the council cleared your actions,
it doesn't mean that they condone them,
   -M

Little bits of color like that... along with the tattered origin message from the web site and maybe some other cryptic stuff like that.

It's like the glowing purple swirling light in the above pic... it doesn't have to mean anything beyond the setting and mood.

I'm playing Farcry 3 now and while playing im thinking how much I like the Assassin's Creed 3 idea of a VR within a game. FC3 is ok with its open world and guns but I felt more immersed in AC3. I think it is because of the Animus idea of a VR withen the game.

The point is I like the idea you present with the "nexortical engine".

Run It..

I uploaded another video showing some more of the UI that I got fleshed out.

I didn't think I was going to get this part of the interface working during this round of changes but I was inspired the other night and it went in pretty smoothly.
