The blogger with a beanie: Day 116: Concept development and interface design

I've accumulated a whole bunch of feedback, which i've slowly been working through

M. needs a thing
Arkac needs to look less robot
Arkac's body needs to be clearer
demon needs to look less alien
mystical/spiritual atributes

I did a little more research on straight jackets, to make arkac's body clearer - but i don't like how they look - i prefer having him all wrapped up like a mummy, but I tried some variations

I was told to change the box, because he looks too robotic - but I'm having troubles making the box less hi-tech, without making him look like a failed magician's act.

Tried adding something to M.'s design - their shirt jumper thing looked too plain - I don't really like any of these, but i'll keep trying

Then I started working on interface designs - I have a couple ideas for the health bar, since thats the only part of the extra-diegesis that wont hide away

I was stylizing it to fix more with the mood, and I was thinking maybe Arkac gives them the HUD at the begining of the game, saying "I wont be needing this, it's not MY game"

... oh by the way - Arkac breaks the fourth wall... that's kinda his gimmick
