I don't know how to say it, but, the GUI is terrible. The chat box is too thin.

The Blue bar is pointless, which leaves the health bar which could go Vertical and have a number above.

The brick selection is............ TBM had it right, but it looked ugly, you could say.

Believe it or not, the energy meter does have a purpose Wink If you have better chat box designs, I'm happy to see them, and the inventory will probably see a little more revamping once we switch brick libraries, but will probably keep that general design.

The general design is the same as TBM and Blockland, if you didn't notice. It just has some artistic ginger thrown on top.

No....your brick selection diverts around it.

Feel free to make whatever inventory mod you want. You'll need a hook to PlayGui::onWake and PlayGui::onSleep to remove the existing inventory, and you'll need to override the callbacks for inventory switching.

try putting the brick preview to the right of the inventory, with the option of using it as a PIP for cameras, like in any RTS game.
