During the last weeks of April and on early May, i spent most of my time working on a prototype for the UI of Galaeth Records. My main objective was to replicate the style of a manga, making it look as if the characters were part of a comic but inside a videogame using tools like panels and text boxes. The prototipe was firstly done on white sheets with a pencil, after the drawings were finished i proceeded to ink every panel and character to make sure it looked even more like a manga. Once i had everything fully inked, i made small modifications to some issues i had on the originals. To make sure users could undestand perfectly what is going on on the menu, every single button of the UI has a color variation that manifests only while you are hovering with the mouse. You can acces that very same prototipe with this link:

(To make sure you can interact with the UI on full screen, go to the options menu and press "Fit to screen")
