Why the UI looks like ass?

[Vanrick]

This game UI is the ugliest looking UI i ever seen and i have seen some videogames from NES to PS5 at least 300 games + , i can make a better UI with just a piece of paper ,a pencil and 30 minutes.

Its worst than basic, it also uses the least interesting grey color you can ever found in the pallet of RGB. I mean steam UI from 2010 looked better, i mean... this platform that came BEFORE the game even was ever conceive was STILL prettier than 7 days to die´s UI.

Hell lets even compare it to dead space from 2008, the UI from Dead space (2008) has transparency ... OH LORD THE FUTURE, and looks like it floats in front of the player, 7 days to die looks like an uglified excel spreadsheet put in front of the screen. It doesn't even have an animation transition or anything, its just ON - OFF - ON - OFF.

I´ve seen 3 days old sandwich more interesting than 7 days to die artistic presentation.
How can the devs have the balls to put this game in 1.0 (COMPLETED) while the interface looks worst than a COBOL bank desktop program from 1962... you devs have some courage i will give you only that...

[hi friends]

dead space's ui is made to be like that so that it feels more immersive in horror situations, but i'd rather not have that in every game

7dtd is just functional tbh and theres nothing wrong with that

No kidding... I'm sick of the tablet/phone UI style we're seeing almost everywhere - and why are they so scared of 90 degree corners? They round the corners on almost everything...

i dont know what you call baiting...
In another game forum, I did a post that got alot of people attention even little kids who get all angry about criticizing their favorite little game. But the devs few days ago change their mind because of what you guys call "small minority of trolls" ... long story short i complained about a game and a few others too , now the devs are repairing their damn game.
If you guys are lucky , i could be part of the change that may give you a better UI for 7 days to die, in the future. Hey complaining is a good thing if the devs are smart enough to listen to criticism.

Good luck with that just dont try holding your breath while you wait

Well... If you hare not happy, go look Olympic Games, it's better more ugliest... xDDD

But, you need to go read the roadmap of the game first...

& a UI, is just a UI... It's not like you will look especially the UI 24h/24h no stop...

Says someone that has never in his short life, booted up unity and attempted to make a UI from scratch.

That's like saying you cannot complain at a restaurant that your chicken is raw because you are not a professional chef.

People getting bent out of shape over a terrible looking UI, and even more trying to defend the laziness.

You clearly haven't read any of MY posts. This is far from my favourite game, I've been ripping on A21 and V1.0 pretty hard. I went back and read your whole post. I think we can all agree that the UI isn't the best out there but jester bait has to be subtle to be effective. You took it way too far, came in way too hot. Tone it down next time and maybe you'll catch a few.

i been playing 7 days to die since version alpha 1, baby boy, i know how the game looks from 11 years ago.

Then in all that time why did you not mod the UI to your liking? There are tons of UI mods for this game. Where is yours since it is so easy?

[Lhevias]

i dont like the ui either but its just simplistic not fancy or anything just there to show what you need (well in minimal style as possible) wish some things would be better visible but like other said just mod the ui if you hate it so much

Go off though, gamer. Insults and condescending BS isn't going to get you anywhere.

I didnt insult, i just made a factual statement, now you like the UI, but again there are people who fancy some human feces in the morning, im not a judge, but 99.9% of human race prefer more eatable food, case in point , you like 7 days ugly as funk UI, 99.9% human race have seen better UI in a NES game or PS1

Thanks for not insulting. But your facts are not quantifiable, so they're not facts. Perhaps strongly felt opinions girded with prior experiences, But ass is always subjective.

Your amusing. I never said he couldnt complain, the OP clearly stated he could do better on a piece of paper with a pencil. And you comparing my statement to raw chicken? LOL, dude the UI is not going to kill you. Salty be salty no matter what, have a bad day, cause your salty, every day is bad for salty ppl :D

i could do a better UI in a piece of paper, in unity, in photoshop , what ever they need, ANYTHING is better than this grey depressing looking interface made by a 1 star artist from Fiverr

then you should play something other than 7 days to die , but maybe you dont have the money to play anything else... well, just google "videogames UI" and whatever it comes to the screen is better than 7 days to die, solved. you are welcomed

Compared to Project Zomboid and it's window management UI, this game is okay to me. Some polish/updating wouldn't hurt though.

I mean if you compare my brother who is in a wheelchair to a rock in the beach, my brother can run pretty fast... but maybe you should compare it to something better not something worst, you have like 300k + videogames that looks better than 7 days , why dont compare 7 days to any other videogame ? not another game that also looks bad?

They both have been around for the same amount of time. Both are zombie survival games.

It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid to compare a 10+ year old game's UI to a game made in the last year or two. I've been playing this game on and off for several (5-6) years and the UI hasn't changed at all.

[kir-kanos]

I don't see anything wrong with the UI could work smoother seems little jank now. Only thing i wish that the map window was larger.
