This seems really interesting!
I like those cinnamon roll bush things :D
I feel like your hud is taking up more space that it needs to. Wasting pixels on big fancy curved panels that seemingly don't need to be that big, at least from what I can tell looking at that bottom left corner ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The auto-hide thing is neat though.
Oh, that makes sense.
I would probably just define a specific size for items (8x8 for example) and never make them bigger than that, assuming it's posible enough to draw enough unique looking versions of similar items at that size. I'm doing something similar for weapons and spells, and so far it looks those are all gonna be 5x5 (or even 4x4) lol rip
