After viewing a variety of UI designs from different games, I made multiple concepts of the starting screen (see Starting Screen Development).
This UI piqued my interest more than others did, as this was something similar to what I had in mind for my gameplay. Although the idea was similar, I was planning to make my UI more minimalistic and slightly cleaner. The results can be viewed in Mechanics & Gameplay.
