Also, Auto-placeing-mining-thing with walls, it's SO neat on the PC!
The inventory is missing a line of slots and crafting is a bit over complicated. How is that fine to you? Honest question.I think the GUI is fine as it is. Perhaps we will see a better GUI in future games.
Hey man, that's why I made this thread. The more people I get making valid points (like you) and offering great suggestions (also you) the better the chances of seeing some of these changes made. The transparent inventory screen I suggested as well. Being pulled out of the action to craft and access the inventory does create a specific problem. Appearently, according to Nike Leon (a moderator), GUI changes are some of the hardest things to code. I really don't think it would be that hard. You would think changes to the GUI wouldn't be that hard to make and once they are made, wouldn't need a lot of testing to implement. Hopefully 505 games listens to us and we see these changes. I think we have waited long enough, especially considering I paid double for Terraria on my ps4 than what it costs for pc. Where did all that extra money go? I would like to think it went to having at least all the features from pc Terraria. Again, wall of text is totally fine. You made some great points and I appreciate you taking the time to post them. Keep them coming.
Deadonarrival actually misquoted meLol its not hard to make a GUI like Nike is saying its just a pain in the when you already have one implemented and its been in since the beginning of the dev. So game devs tend to run with it instead of change it. Sorry Nike but its true GUI's are not hard at all to make especially for Terraria. Look at Skyrim they have a million GUI mods made by people just like you and me and that games code source before you say it is different but not to the point where its "hard".
Whats hard is being able to play this game as it stands with a blanket screen that freezes the player and also disallows them to see whats happening.
And as I stated before Nike "the D-pad being used as a hotbar is stupid, get rid of it." If they did away with it we could use it to navigate a better smaller more free crafting GUI that doesn't require us to be frozen in place. In fact I'm willing to bet making this GUI would take less time then the time it took to make the GUI they currently have.
Terraria is fun and allows for creative freedom, I don't see why if we pay extra for consoles we have to be restricted and bound in place.
I'm not familiar with the GUI mods for Skyrim sorry, but while giving a gui a different style is pretty simple entirely rewriting it's workings isn't.From my little experience with coding I know that GUIs can easily be one of the most complex parts of a system so I highly doubt completely revamping it like you've suggested would be anywhere near simple.
