what kind of game is it, chris?
depending on the kind of game you're making, it may be better to not include a HUD of any kind.
with the right soundtrack, or even level of ambiance noises, you could totally relegate everything on the hud to a separate menu if you wanted to build atmosphere a lot more.

this is an exploration/survival game with rpg elements, taking a bit from metroid and fallout.
the issue is... this is going to run on a system with 16 colours and three different sounds available, which means i can do very little in terms of sound or music.
another issue is the scrolling. i've made a border so that scrolling can be smoother in-game (ask tykel for more detail, i'm afraid i can't explain more).
that being said, i would prefer not making such an invasive hud, but something more akin to super metroid, which is more discreet.
thanks for the feedback!
