interface

NOTE: need to add 'Armour' somehow into the interface. With the other upgrades would be good. Doesn't fit into the four boxes though.


i really like the texturing and all that :)
For the parts. eg engine cannon etc. You need to get say 5 or each part before the castle upgrades. To start the game you'd only need to find 1 of each part. So the player gets upgraded on like the first level... then can go... 'COOL UPGRADES!'

here's my rough concept idea -- throw the texturing on you had and all that, and i think it would be nice. i really like the idea of having a mostly-full screen view.
my 2.0 Ghz sys gets about 110 fps, so i suspect a 1ghz would get 65 fps, and i suspect that if we went near full screen with that a 1gz could get around 30 fps.
anyway, enough of my blabbing

here's a hideous concept drawing

..
except those stats should be cool like boiler dials :)
