About the menu in this game... (OPINION)


If you have already downloaded this game, you might have noticed that a few things in my game are substantially different from the original game (i.e. UNDERTALE by Toby Fox). The menu is one of these things. Why? It’s… just my personal opinion of how I make my game.

Basically, I’m gonna point out 3 topics about the menu in this post.

First off, the general design.

OK, OK, I understand if you don’t immediately know which of these two is UNDERTALE’s or my fan game’s (unless you have either of them, that is). If you are looking really closely, you see that the menus are a little bit more spacious on my fan game.

Originally, I wanted to make the menu look EXACTLY like UNDERTALE’s trying about 30 times to get the boxes and text positions right. Eventually I just gave up.

But…! Personally, I am satisfied of my work done on the menu by that time. I saw that not only does it feels a bit less cluttered, it also doesn’t really deviate from the original design, making that difference actually worth to consider keeping. Now, I don’t think of planning to change the menu design anytime soon. …or not

Second, stats.

NOW you can see something obviously different between the two menus.

That is because some stats that are ALREADY shown once you pop up the menu are also being shown on the “STAT” box. And IMO I think it’s unnecessary in my game. Then I removed those stats, and so the “STAT” box only shows the other stats that were not shown in the menu.

Finally, uhm…
