Redesign main screen

[henriiquecampos]

Kitchen Tales' main screen is meant to resemble a restaurant's menu, where the game is the restaurant, and players can "order" their dishes through the main screen's menu. There are different aspects of this menu:

• Pages, which group similar options
• Categories, which group options in a hierarchical structure
• Dishes, which are the options themselves

• The layout uses a 10x10 pixels grid in a 1920x1080 screen
• In blue, there is the whole menu itself
• Behind the menu, we have the background which should resemble a table, as if the menu was laying on it
• In green, we have the pages tabs, they are what will tell which is the current page being displayed in the menu
• In yellow, we have the options of the current page, organized in order of relevance through their categories (main dishes > side dishes > desserts)
• In red, we have the game's title logo "Kitchen Tales" as an image
• In orange, we have a game's art, something that represents the gameplay, like a conceptual art
• In purple, we have a fork and a knife image, outside of the menu, but standing on the table, to give the feeling that the player is about to feast

The menu should be elegant and simple, yet compelling and informative, playful and engaging. This is the main reference for what the menu should look like conceptually.

To provide visual identity and still raise game awareness, so that the players know they are choosing options of a game, not food, we can use playful images of the game that provide context for the menu. This could be used in the pages options, instead of text. Something like in Kirby Super Star's main menu.

If we go for a design where the options are displayed as images, we can use a carousel menu, to prevent the menu from being too bloated, like Kirby's.

The layout for the pages shall resemble real pages, so if possible they could be stacked, like in this reference:

As for the organization of the page's options, they should be organized in this hierarchical order, grouped by relevance.

Remember: Kitchen Tales is a game with a flat design art direction, the menu must make use of flat design principles and aesthetic.

Issue Goal

This issue goal is to design the UI elements that will package this design. The deliverables requested are:

• A full HD (1920x1080) .png image with all the elements put together in the layout presented above
• A separated image for each UI element

You can create a folder called interface in the repository's images folder, put the files there and open a PR closing this issue to deliver them
