New Arcadia Interface


Time to get those new interfaces going! First up, the main interface as you run around Arcadia. Here's the old version of the interface:


And here's a basic suggestion with a new gold indicator and slots for Treats/Curses:


Now, the treats and curses will affect your score multiplier by a certain percentage each: either they'll increase your score or they'll reduce your score. More score equals more rewards (and a higher place on the high score list!), so we felt it was important to include this in the interface somehow. Here's a quick sketch featuring the score multiplier increase both next to the score and next to the treats/curses:


While we liked the idea of having the percentage show next to the score counter (that way it can show all through your run as well), we weren't sold on having an exact copy of it next to the treats/curses. Instead, we thought maybe we should separate them and show how much each of your curses or treats actually subtract or add to your score:


As of now, we still haven't decided whether we want to include the above version or just keep the cleaned up score multiplier next to your score (as seen below). Do you think you'd prefer to see how much each score adds/subtracts, or is that unnecessary information that only clutters up the interface?

  1. I'd say that final multiplier is more useful. You know impact for each treat/curse anyways when choosing them.
