Venkmar Design Concept

Since the prototype won't be out until next month, I thought it might be nice if we shared our design ideas with you guys, so it will give you an idea of what Venkmar is going to be like when you are able to interact with it next month. Bear in mind these are just wireframes, we will be designing a more decorative UI for it as we go.

 
Town Main Screen

First up, we have the main screen for the town (ignore the background, it is a placeholder. Sommy will be doing an town illustration next month), which acts as a hub for the player. Each of those round buttons on the bottom will be an icon for a location, that can be visited by clicking on them. On the right, you can also see the girls, and clicking on them will bring up the character status screen for the girl you clicked.


Character Status Screen

This is what the aforementioned status screen will look like. On the left half of the screen, you will be able to click both equipment and skills in order to change them, if you need to. On the right side, you have the important mechanical stats on the top, with the more fun ones below.

Alf's Blacksmith

Next up, we have Alf's blacksmith. Here you'll be able to spend gold in able to improve your currently equipped weapon and armour. Improvements come in two forms, pure statistical upgrades, and skill upgrades. Each piece of equipment comes with its own randomized innate skill, which is upgraded at level 3, 6, and 9.



Adventurers Guild

Last, but not least (especially when it comes to the chest region), we have Bekarah and the adventurers guild. The guild has two different functions, as you can see above; the first is that it allows you to level up skills to a maximum of level 9, and the second is that it allows you to purchase level ups for each character. 

This covers all of the screens that you will be seeing in the town prototype. There will, of course, be more locations in town to visit (with their own NPCs to meet), but we are keeping those under our hat for the time being until we are ready to add them at a later date. Hopefully you guys like what you see, and are looking forward to playing around with it a bit next month. :)
