At first, I was trying out new forms of UI, which I personally liked visually, but unfortunately their functionality suffered in multiple cases, so I decided to instead go for already established designes.

Since the UI contains so many elements it was important to figure out how the design would work accross the entire game while keeping it visually consistent. Our greates inspiration was Dofus, technically a predecessor of Wakfu, which uses stone-like blocks as the framework upon which other elements are placed.

The process invovled a lot of sketching to make sure we get all element we want to communicate to the player in there.
