Fable Anniversary - HUD
Fable Anniversary is a remastering of the Fable The Lost Chapters, which is now 10 years old! I was tasked with creating a remastered user interface which would honour the original game while still achieving a freshness which suits the current generation of consoles and PC systems.
While designing the HUD, I wanted to create something that remained familiar to players who have played the original game while still creating a fresh and refined UI. The visual treatment I decided on uses golden framed elements to help celebrate Fable Anniversary and give a bit of elegance.

I also took the opportunity to rework the Quest screens in to something that felt more physical. I went with the idea of using a paper card that would get stamped by the Heroes Guild once a quest was completed successfully.
Any rewards gained are shown clearly along with the option of flipping the card over to view a more detailed breakdown.
