This is by far, the best idea I have ever seen scatter in the DbD community (and also quite simplistic). Not only does it capture the magic of Dead by daylight but it also looks very organized and uniquely pretty!

Do it for the community devs, please!

    I really like/ love this as it’s thematic and simple BUT my inner Graphic Designer is screaming right now.

    1. If you zoom back and down scale this to fit a TV or Monitor, those hook/ injured/ slugged icons will be small for the naked eye.
    2. No bleed out timer, doesn’t look like you can fit.
    3. Small error, Kate has 3 tally meaning she’s been hooked 3 times meaning she’s dead, but she has the slug icon.
    4. This is basically the old UI but with a tally and a shrunken player status. Not much has changed nor improved

    1. The icons are bright enough to be seen from afar, you could test it yourself by moving far away from your screen, you could see that it is good enough, besides there are only 3 icons which can be assumed very easily. And there will be an option to make it bigger or smaller in the settings for the players’ comfort just like what we have now with the new hud.
    2. The bleed timer can fit just right, only needs to place the player’s name a little downward to fit the bleed timer.
    3. This is nothing more than an example, no need to highlight the little errors.
    4. The old UI was perfect as is, only needed players’ character icons and hook counts. And with this new idea, it would be more than perfect.

    Reminder this is just an example, this whole post is all about spreading the idea of changing the ugly icons survivor icons and replace it with the adept icons, it wasn’t supposed to show what the new hud should look like.

    and if you haven’t realized it yet, I am not the one who made the picture above, it’s just a picture I found on google (Credits to whoever made it) and I used it here to express what I would like to see for a new hud. Have a nice day!
