just a little update, i changed the stuff, I KNOW IT LOOKS BLAND AND BORING, but i am adding stuff slowly to make it look better and im open to suggestions! I know the map is a bit off too, ill fix that. also, sorry to my testers who are waiting for the testing vers, but I still only have 3/8 icons finished coding (because after I code the button there are more buttons inside to code)

I have some questions... Those icons... are they objects or shortcuts to open other screens? Why the center icon has more margin than the others? Also, what kind of game are you developing?

great questions! ok, the icons when pressed will mostly bring you to another screen on the touch screen, so like if i were to click the inventory (the first icon) it would change the bottem screen (except the icons which are always there) to the inventory menu, it will also pause the game. but pressing the sword will equip the sword (or whatever weapon in that slot) tbc↓↓↓

you can change weapon equiped in your inventory. next, the center one (the sword) has more area because if you were attacked and need to get your weapon fast you have less chance of missing the icon and accidentally pressing something else. but i may change this if it looks bad. and lastly, what type of game is this.. hmm.. thats a hard one.. ill try to specify a few genre's ↓↓

i would say its Adventure! Fighting, strategy, Survival (part time only, like when on other islands), Exploration, stuff like that, but the game is all about conquest, your main goal is to take over the 7 (or 9, undecided as of yet) islands, they are all controlled by different things, some pirates, some war lords and some just monsters like dragons.

Ok, i thought all of them were objects. I think that you should move them to the right to click them with the thumb. For example, Zelda do that with the items... In monster hunter 4, the custom layout doesn't let you put buttons on the center of the screen Also, you should use a different background or design if something is a button to know when it will open a different screen before clicking it.

those are great ideas!!! thank you! I love the moving the icons idea, it makes total sense! and I don't understand what you mean by changing the background, do you mean like adding a texture?
