No Game Engine Game Dev: Word Sleuth 069: Button face-lift (no more Windows 95)

Streamed on 2024-10-18 (https://www.twitch.tv/thediscouragerofhesitancy)

Game Engines are for sissies!

It is time for the Windows 95 buttons to end. I started out by refactoring some code in the Button class so we can switch styles. This went relatively easy, and I redid the old Windows 95 button textures to use our new layer based UV generation.

Then I started trying to art together something that looks like chalk. Art isn't my strong suite so there was much faffing about and trying different things. The button is mostly looking better, but I had to finish the stream early for a meeting, and didn't have time for the Active textures. Also, I think the "chalk" border should be thicker, and in some cases less opaque. There will be some follow up/touch up work tomorrow along the same lines.
