Trying to unify my game UI by using the same bookmark icon for the pause menu button in all my scenes. Been away for a while on summer vacation and all that, but back and working on the game again now! Hoping to finish the UI update soon, but there's still a lot of items left on the todo list..

I couldn't come up with short descriptions for some of my game settings, so I added this info box. Feels like a duct tape solution, and it needs some refinement, but it works unless I come up with something better.

I’m going to rework the “piece selection” menu for my custom chess piece game. I’m thinking of taking inspiration from this team menu in Pokemon. Thoughts? What’s the best party select UI in a game?

This just saved my ass! I was flipping a card inside a container, but on my laptop screen it was bugging out for one frame in the middle of the animation. Using "offset_transform_scale:x" instead of just "scale:x" solved it!

Not entirely sure about this UX flow.. The flip animation feels ok, but the placement of the buttons is tricky. The Shy Ghost transforms into a Banshee, so there needs to be some way to navigate to the Banshee from the Shy Ghost, and then back. Any input or feedback is appreciated!

Making a custom scroll bar in #Godot turned out to be more difficult than I thought. Using a NinePatchRect will distort the horizontal bars in the center, and I can't get the arrow to stretch the way I want either. I think need to rethink my design, or make something custom..

Couldn't figure out how to make this small rounded inset shadow for my UI buttons inside Godot, so I ended up using a texture. Happy with the results! Doing my best to keep the image project files nice and tidy so they're easy to update if I need to in the future.
