Game Overlay
Drawn layout for reference
1. Gaze indicator
Depending on current location will display gaze of the current monster (AAI for basement, SI for house)
Fills from left to right, colors change depending on the fill (of the entire bar, colors are for indication, final version will be a gradient)
N is a place for a numerical amount, 0%, 69% etc.
2. Stamina bar
Simple bar for displaying player's stamina
Hidden when player's stamina is full
3. Held item description
Located in the bottom right corner of the screen
Rightmost will be the icon of the item player is holding
To the left of icon there is two textboxes, one at the top containing item's name, and below it optional box that will show if item could be used as a primary/secondary action (Controls map)
4. Description of an interaction
If player looks at an object that could be interacted with, a textbox with interaction info will appear under the crosshair
5. Subtitles
This part is not exactly subtitles, rather a system that is used for basically all text game may want to show, notifications, dialogue, and so on.
Messages get stacked onto each other and gradually fade away.
