hi, i think before the v0.7.2 or other update comes out, i think i feel like adding a health hud showing how much health you have, rather getting shot, getting attacked by SCP-049-2, etc.
here's my sketch for the health hud, not that good, but hey what can you say about it.
of any of you made a good health hud, i want you to show it in-game and what it looks like.
THANKS.
EDIT: special thanks to Cridone for showing off his health hud, the only thing we need to do now is code it so it can be Implemented in-game, i do not have expiernce with coding in blitz unfountuely :/ so it's up to you guys to Implement the health hud.

You're going to have to be quick about it, hug. Regalis is almost finished with service in the Finnish Military and he says he'll be updating to v0.7.2 in a matter of weeks.
He says it here in the following discussion:

He didn't sat a date, but the update will be here soon.
Anyways, good luck!

A health HUD takes away the emersion, and you only have around 5 stages of health and most things kill you instantly, so the bar will not be very dynamic.
For this type of game its really best to keep heads up display to a minimum.

There's already been a ton of discussion on rooms. If I were you, I'd check out those discussions and see which ones would reign as the best choices.

Guns don't kill you instantly. This idea is perfect! Its pretty real to because in-game you can't look at yourself or feel the pain but if it was real you would know how close to death you where, so if you try to run past MTF with 1 bar your like ok, don't run, find med or go to Gate A. I would probably say 10 health bars as I survived 7 MTF bullets once. Really crazy.

it'll actually take out at least 3 bars when you get get shot.

I'm gonna have to agree with Glitch here, HUDs are much more likely to reduce immersion in horror games. I honestly believe that this game could do with no HUD (Other than say the inventory) given that a stamina meter isn't particularly necessary and the blink meter can be replaced by a logarithmic/exponential gaussian blur.

I agree at all ^

I disagreed about the medic kits because I didn't like the idea of having a health bar

Perhaps Amnesia style, put a HUD on your inventory screen. Nothing to fancy, but don't leave to just a bar with a few colored boxes.

It doesn't fit an HUD like this in SCPCB
