Beautiful Desolation - September Update
 
Beautiful Desolation has a new update for September which shows some skeuomorphic UI that reminds me of classic games and other stuff.

The Interface

Apart our trek to the veld, we are at the early design phase of interface implementation. Interface design is extremely important and plays an important part in setting the tone of this world.

With STASIS, we were inspired by the diegetic UI design of Dead Space - something which felt right at home in a horror game. From John’s Quantum Storage Device to the computer PDAs - everything in the game’s interface was designed to keep you inside The Groomlake and form part of the scene.

BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION will see a skeuomorphic interface inspired by the real-world designs of the 70s and 80s and the interface design of Fallout. Wooden panelling, chrome inlays and vacuum-formed plastic have replaced the harsh metal and blood-stained wires of STASIS. However, the idea remains to always keep the player grounded in the game world and sprinkle in some classic game nostalgia to boot.

Take care,

Chris

Diegetic? Skeumorphic? Are they making this stuff up as they go along?
[One quick Google later]
Ah ok. I guess I learned something today. :)

Seriously, Beautiful Desolation is looking very promising. I have high hopes.

I agree, this looks interesting.

Hm, never heard of them but they're from my city :-) - I should probably pay more attention. Although not really into point and click stuff…
