Some games also have great UI elements that are part of the object itself. Like an ammo count on the gun or maybe a health bar on the characters arm

fun fact: weapon icons in hl2, gmod, etc are actually fonts.

@Гиббон You could do something like a pistol for eaxample that has a slit on its side where you can see how many bullets are in it Or go full realism and add a function were your character has to eject and check the magazine

I never noticed that about hl2, that's pretty neat!

@@garbaj Horizontal HUD slider would be enough honestly. The 16:9 center HUD option is almost as good though :)

i've seen some of the best huds in indie mobile games, where they let you just drag and drop hud elements using the touch screen, set opacity however you want, set colors however you want. it's a good way to handle accessibility concerns, but it's probably a nightmare to do if you're already moderately into development. hud is one of those things im suprised aaa devs don't enlist experienced web developers to help with, because the best websites already handle a lot of these issues properly. padding the sides on ultrawide, setting a minimum pixel density for readability on lower resolution displays, etc.

@@garbaj you can do it! A moveable base UI class that stores it's position on the canvas as a percentage of the total width/height. Then a 2D collider and click/drag handlers. Maybe a simple boolean to check if the player is in UI edit mode, and change disable the dragging when not in edit mode.

why would you do that?

you're right

The answer is most often a metric fuckton, but pales in comparison to the skyscraper of profit coming from making dlc and microtransactions instead

Let's also not forget that by solving these "issues" in a rapid fashion, the developers create an expectation that other problems will be fixed in a similar time frame. By taking a year before adding these 4 lines of code, they can also take 8 months before fixing gamebreaking bugs (Loba's bracelet from Apex for example). While obviously at the same time releasing microtransactions and DLC

It wouldn't take much to do it tho.

probably not a lot more, the proportion of population that uses ultrawide and also would refuse to buy a game if it didn't have this feature or would instantly buy it if it did is incredibly small.

If a company builds a reputation of not caring about quality of life or listening to their player base and generally come off as a money grabbing machine optimized to milk every last penny out of their players, they're eventually going to be losing a lot of sales. So if someone really does think this way and let it prevent them from pushing a fix that's literally 4 lines of code - they deserve whatever comes their way.

3840x1600 38inch screen. its nice that i dont have to turn my head to see the radar 😅

I believe a lot of FPS games in particular actually does have this functionality (hell some even let you customize the HUD outright). Games like Halo, Battlefield, CoD, Borderlands, and as a non FPS example Marvel's Spiderman etc. all do this. Even really old titles that were made long before ultrawide ratios was a thing kind of has this feature, back then it was there to compensate for TV overscan but fills the same purpose really. So albeit I do agree that WAY more devs should do this, it's not as rare as he makes it sound.

make maps dont give game longevity. Far cry has make maps no one plays it. people paly a map in COD 100 time then they use to the map. then think they is good. when people makes custom map the player is confuse he is not use to the map. then he is not good at the game so he dont play the game. COD is dump people getting use to map then they think they is good. i am a devoloper no one likes the game until they gets use to the map. and if you change one thing they start bitching and wineing.

cs:go has less grid like structure.

yeah valorant maps really suck

I think it comes down to the design philosophy, grid independant is great for single player, or non-competitive multiplayer environments because it doesn't need to be balanced, the emphasis on the environment is prettiness and flow, while valorant, as a comp shooter, requires a more asymmetrically balanced design, a crate in a cool but weird position can give a rediculous amount of problems for balance, and thus, in the face of asymmetry, its easier to create balance within grids. This is by no means an excuse, as ACE said, CS:GO has a less grid-like structure for their maps, the difference is simply a matter of studio philosophy. Valve may feel more confident creating non-grid balance than Riot, but riot's history on making competitive experiences could feed into why they emphasise grid designs moreso.

@@henryplumb5200 I tend to view it as a negative because I think maps that adhere to the grid too much support a very boring style of gameplay, specifically for competitive games, because it requires a lot less intuition from player's to "optimize" their gameplay. For example, I'm personally alot less interested when the best play style becomes peaking corners on a simple grid. The main 'skillset' at that point is just reaction time alone, very little need for more advanced strategy (at least for most people). However I agree that it's just easier to create, balance, and update, than a less rigid setting.

That's Godot, not Unity. But the same is true for Godot and Unreal Engine. I think a big part of the problem is UI designers are too focused on the UI and not the UX part.

I found Unity to be very bloaty compared vs Unreal. And filled with frustratingly counterproductive DRM interferences. The two engines are roughly similar overall, though each can be tweaked for better performances or better qualities on certain different hardware platforms or OS environments. Haven't worked with Godot.

That is a bitch to make proper :9

yeah and it'd be nice if AAA could figure out how keybinds work

interestingly movable ui elements is something that MMOs solved ages ago.

@@HappyBeezerStudios Doesn't mean it isn't a bitch to make proper. Also many MMOs do not really have movable elements, some have.

What about the hud not spreading further, it is a layover so why should it stretch at all.

@@murray821 because they are mostly hard to code and they can bring lots of bugs. there is so much stuff going behind those things and this simple HUD example and AAA or even indie game HUD examples are not comparable. but they need to implement better HUDs for sure. idk if engine lets u do that but u can find a workaround

To be fair, Godot has one of the best GUI toolkits not just of game engines, but even in regards to full GUI pipelines, so this very much could be difficult when compared to other game engines just because Godot does GUIs extremely well. But even that aside this behavior is usually not strictly that hard even if its harder then in Godot, its not unreasonable to expect other AAA studios to implement this just for the sake of better support for high end users, they already do it with a bunch of other gimmicky things that waste a lot of money and time, why they wouldn't do it for something this simple is beyond me.

in pre-built Libraries like Cogent-UI, yah that's probably the main issue because the Dev team just isn't familiar with the back end

was gonna say this. it's 4 lines of code *in his engine*. not all engines are made equal

I think it's more likely that so few people have triple monitors and ultrawide displays that there's not a noticeable amount of demand for such a niche feature.

I'd say it could also be because the hud elements are coded to work on the corners of the screen and would break if they were forced to not be, although that's highly unlikely, maybe another reason is that the source engine doesn't have that functionality, so the devs also didn't think of adding it

I don't think it would look awkward, maybe on a 21:9, but on anything higher, nah. On 48:9 (triple monitor setup) the HUD is basically unusable when it docks to the sides, I imagine the same thing is true for 32:9 monitors. However, simple solution to this, a checkbox in the options menu to force UI aspect ratio to 16:9. That way you have the choice, leave it off by default even, because everyone with a wide aspect ratio is used to fiddling with options and sometimes external programs to get the UI or FoV usable.

I have a 32:9 monitor and it doesn't look awkward at all. Everything outside of the standard 16:9 portion of the screen is in the player's peripheral vision, and it is significantly more awkward having to look far into the corner of the screen just to see your health.

With the amount of people "quiet quitting" on their jobs, nobody's gonna go far and beyond their job description.

Yeah, I mean e.g. in Yu-Gi-Oh Omega you can drag almost every visual element almost everywhere. But this is not AAA, but extremely dedicated and passionate fans with a lot of time. So they made a game in which you can customize more than everything you expected. AAA studios don't have the time for that. I mean, we live in a world, where many video games are developed to 80 or 90% so that it is finished before Xmas. And then the rest is added later as free DLC. So yeah, this pretty much answers it. It is just considered unimportant polishing, so they simply don't do that, but already develope the next game! (Remember, everyone: AAA studios are not indi-developers with "infinite time", but have to churn out one game after another and want to make a lot of profit, so they have to be economic with their rescources.)

Thats kinda something i was thinking, scaling things intuitively like this just seems like what you would think to do when designing, like idk how you'd miss it haha. But coming from a perspective where I've done web dev, it makes sense its intuitive as responsive design has been massive for a while now. Not just monitors, but users resizing or snapping the browser too. And most importantly, mobile. Be it a laptop, windows tablet, android or apple tablet, a phone with a big screen, a phone with a small screen... You need to accommodate all of these things, and a one stop shop responsive design is the best way to do it. Imo i prefer having one site with intuitive and smart scaling, over having a separate 'mobile' webpage that makes some arbitrary decision of when to swap, and looks weird changing between sizes. Front end user interfaces are notoriously terrible haha, somehow people dont really bother making them good more often than I'd hope for. And im talking professional stuff here, like banking websites. Especially confirmation forms, how the hell do sooooo many miss the obvious bug of not being able to correct an email address or phone number?? Watch for it, type something out and try to navigate to the middle, as though you mistyped and noticed afterwards. A ton of interfaces just have your cursor instantly snap to the end and type there, regardless of where you just put the cursor. It's an artifact of the validation but man is it annoying. I notice because I'd catch it while QA testing, so none of my apps or apps I've tested for others keep stuff like this. Of course not every form will make this mistake, but small things go a long way. Another common ish one is emptying every box on the form if you mistype and fail a validation... Which is horrible. Idk, rant on front end design haha. I know its not always worth it, dumb little apps i whip up for myself i dont bother making super pretty, but anything user facing absolutely. Its more than just looking good, things not working intuitively will mess up less tech savvy folk and can turn them off to using electronic systems. Trying to set up an electronic banking account and mistyping a field, just to think you corrected it when it didn't, and you hit go and every field gets wiped and one turns red... It's frustrating.

That’s because there are bigger fish to worry about. Something as small as that isn’t worth the time.

Because developers knows on computer the vast majority of people will play game on a 16/9 aspect ratio on fullscreen. Ultrawide monitors represent only 1.4% of the market (source: steam survey) It's not comparable with a website where it's crucial to have good responsiveness because you can have almost any aspect ratio possible. And maybe because of laziness, you know it's a pain in the ass to do good responsiveness 😅

In addition to what @Valentin said, HUDs don't need need to be fully responsive: developers seem to be settling on letting you choose a separate (common) aspect ratio for the HUD. The implementation might be to bound the HUD to a box, and with that the path to "responsive" becomes more clear, as you should be able to resize that box and have the elements anchored. But then I still think the separate aspect ratios is a happy middle ground.

PC release tends to be an afterthought, consoles are locked to a 16:9 ratio so that's what is used, don't like it? too bad. If instead some time was spent BEFORE building an entire UI system that is hardcoded to only work well at 16:9 it would be trivial to implement by any developer, it's not rocket science.

You're probably onto something with the mobile comparison. For an example, Godot uses basically the same abstraction as Android Studio for placing UI elements.

To have balanced procedual maps in a shooting game it takes even more work

what game is it called

So you have an array structure of items and each item have an id? And the inventory slots looks for an item that matches the ID and take the data from it. I think this would be slow performance wise since it have to search through all the items of the game inorder to find the one with the correct ID.

this wouldnt help if you have stacks of items, you need to pass a variable containing the quantity in a stack, and if you're doing that you might as well transfer all of stats. in the array structure is much easier to have a class that accepts array data that runs independently of the array data in the inventory, that always passes data to the next slot in the array. ideally the best option is a hybrid. item id for type of item, class and array set for passing off stack stats.

@@AlexFord-gp7by it depends on how you store it. Things like a Trie data structure or really just hashmaps would optimize this

Or, even simpler, keep all your items in a list and just rewrite the "slot number" data cell. It changes nothing about the item, it's just where the icons are displayed.

@@AlexFord-gp7by Instead of moving or changing a lot of data, it would be faster and simpler to change a reference to said data. So you put all your items in a (hidden) list, and the inventory screen has references pointing to indeces of that list. To organize the inventory you only have to move the pointers. So slot 1 is pointing to an item in the list at index 4, for example. If you then want to move that item to slot 2 in your inventory, you would set slot 2 to point to index 4, and slot 1 to -1 or something, to indicate that it's now empty.

I had three monitors about that time ago and the were always poorly supported during my time with them. It was annoying.

Really? I've had my 21:9 screen for about 3 years I think (maybe 4) and literally none of the games I've played have had an issue with scaling/looking weird etc.

If you have issues try Flawless Widescreen. It's a tool that aims to fix this kind of thing. I have never had problems that didn't take more than 5 minutes to fix myself... Never going back to 16:9.

Yeah, the only thing that really makes sense for widescreen is simracing, and even then you have other options like multi monitor or VR

Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948

which means HUD elements like in his example are perfect for competitive multiplayer, where knowing the values of many of these elements is important.

i like this one

@Abdul Diaz seems to me like that would break immersion completely. Don’t get me wrong, i think it would be a good idea in literally any other game genre, I’ve experimented with something similar in previous projects of mine, but I dont think it would mesh well with the scenario of a high-pace shooter if you need to suddenly concentrate on an entire minigame to get a simple powerup. When im in combat i want to just focus on aiming, shooting and not getting hit myself.

so... power-ups? I'd bet good money he's thought of that one

@@evilduck5691 well he says in the video he’s still figuring out what to do with it, and I’m simply outlining an inspirational hook i like. Wether or not he’s thought of it or not isn’t really valid here… so what’s your point?

shit way to balance things

Great example. The GZ Doom Engine when playing the Hexen and Geretic Games. The Hud has details that are tied to the Border of the screen but there is no way to extend the hud so these elements properly extend to the border of the screen and it's so annoying having a good 10% or so on both sides jist being empty space.

UW users are only at a disadvantage HUD wise when the elements are further from their peripherals without this center HUD fix garbaj suggested. You could argue that UW users can see more of the game world at one time, but that has nothing to do with being able to move the HUD towards the center.

Customer satisfaction is directly tied to money tho, isn’t it?

@@a.b.c.d.e... sure, but then it impacts only PC players, not console players, and then only a small subset of PC players, in other words a fraction of a fraction of the market. Not something a markedroid cares about.

@@666Tomato666 even console players would benefit from scalable ui. I mean many console fps nowadays offer fov sliders to accommodate for different screen sizes and view distances.

Seconded

I agree, since an ultrawide screen is an objective advantage in some competitive games it makes sense to have aspects that make the playing field more even. i do think it should be implemented for singleplayer and casual multiplayer games, but maybe fixing the hud and blurring the sides of the screen past 16:9 in competitive would make more sense

I'm all for competitive integrity in games, but this mindset is the wrong way to go about it.

if the structure of the ui toolkit is designed well, any images and animations are completely irrelevant to the element alignment

I've seen Doom Eternal have the same type of thing

@@crackingcoin3317 Dang really? My neck will be sore after my next gaming binge. Hope I can find a mode to adjust the HUD.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether.

caca cola 💀

Some already do

This is wrong. HUDs in games aren't designed by shareholders, they're designed by UI designers. UI designers are all big passionate video game fans. Shareholders aren't sitting there designing the HUD layout or deciding how it scales to wider monitors.

This is not how development works lol

The shareholders have nothing to do with stuff like this. As DarkViperAU put it, loosely, "Do you really think there's a shareholder hovering over their shoulders, telling devs not to make the game better to play?" A shareholder doesn't care about decisions like that. That would be absurd to bring to a shareholder meeting, because it has absolutely nothing to do with the financials of the game. They don't care about things like art-style, game mechanics, etc. As long as the game is still making money, they don't care about that kind of stuff.

@@ohno5507 They ONLY care about the game making money, that's the problem. They're not concerned if functionality or the vision is ruined as long as it sells.

They don't look vacant and awkward, they are in your peripheral vision. Imagine having to move your eyes to the rightmost of your vision just to see your ammo count. The hud should stay exactly as it is on a 16:9 display, everything else is extra for peripheral vision and you leave it alone!

I think he has an option to have it either on the edges or locked to 16:9, in which case the code would be changing the max width of the UI depending on whether the option was turned on or off.

The thing is EA/DICE had a functional solution to that more than a decade ago. there is no excuse for big studios not to have an option for it.

I see you're a fellow victim burdened with the knowledge

The problem is that a crosshair can be part of game balancing, and so can visibility of HUD elements

star trek online also let's you completely customize where ui elements are.
