Improved HUD Design in Hack-n-Slash Third Person Game Level Design

This document will detail the HUD and UI elements used in a Third Person Hack n Slash game called Fall from Grace with a unique combo system. The literature review will talk about what journals have been referenced and what points have been taken to use in the design of the UI/HUD. The document will cover both in-game interface and non-in-game interfaces. The non-in-game interface will cover multiple UI elements for example, the main menu, new game menu, options menu, the various options selectable in the options menu, load game menu and how the load game menu is designed. The in-game interface will talk about the players HUD and what elements it would be made of. It will then explain about what each of the HUD elements functions such as how the health bar would work, it will also talk about any features that are not immediately present such as the translucent red overlay that appears whenever the player is low on health.
