Under Brush - DEVLOG #5

Hello and Good Day,

Grand stuff going on here! Digging deep into the GUI menus right off the bat.  They can always be a chore and if I wait till the end to do they they will inevitably get rushed.  I first sketched out an idea type thing:

After that nice little scribble I took to creating it for reals using this as a Mockup:

It is not done yet, but it is getting there.  Placeholder Art for a lot of the icons and such.  Little by little.  So far I have the following complete in the main menu (ESC Key):

• Background Menu Image
• Health Bar Implementation
• Eat/Drink/Heal Buttons added with working functionality and Inventory Levels
• Player // Build // Garden // Options Sub-menus (No Content there yet)

After this work I moved onto some Sound Effects work (Never a Dull Moment Here!).  I focused on the Important ones for a Survival Game. Cutting Wood, Tree Breaking, Mining, Rock Breaking.  I also Created the Sounds for Using Items in the Main Menu - Healing, Eating and Drinking. Fun Fun Fun.  The Wood and Stone stuff was a mess! (Safety Goggles Anyone?)

Going to start editing the Audio now!  Then add it to the game!  Here is all I have added to the game up to this point:

• Initial Engine Setup
• Main World set to 20,000 x 20,000 pixels (606 Squares Wide/High)
• Create the Main Global Variables (Player, Health Bar, Collect-able, Placing, etc)
• Added a Placeholder Tree Art
• Added Chopping Animations
• Added the ability to chop the tree
• Added the ability to chop the tree down
• Added collect-able wood item
• Added the ability collect wood item
• Added Menu BG and Stats
• Created the "ESC" menu or "Main Menu" and programmed the Buttons
• Designed the ESC menu layout
• Added an Item Pickup Sound
• Added an "Open Menu" sound
• Added a button click sound
• Added Heal, Eat, Drink Menu Options with Inventory Levels
• Coded Healing, Eating and Drinking

WOW!  Making good Progress.  I'll keep on Keeping on!
