New UI and progress on the new art style

Hi again! Back with even more updates

This summer was quite busy for me, so I couldn't do that much progress on Noclipped, but in the small times I had I made some improvements and tweaks.

The most major one is the squeaky clean UI for the game:

(For this one I didn't manage to capture both the hotbar and the "Warning low durability" window, so I had to Frankenstein this image)

As you can see the UI is inspired by the old Windows 98 window manager, as well as mixing in some Vaporwave and Internetwave aesthetics

All windows also have an expand animation (growing outwards) but I feel like showcasing only this feature is not significant enough to upload to my youtube channel :P. I guess you can see the animations on my discord server, where I am rather active with showcasing smaller devlogs.

I would love to hear your opinion and critique on this new UI: what should be changed? After all my goal is to make a better game than older versions of Noclipped :P

Other updates are that I have extracted a whole ton of new textures for the game, as well as combine multiple together to create compound textures. These allow me to create a much wider variety of liminal spaces, such as the one on the header and this one here (my personal favorite):

Big thanks to my Discord community for providing their own liminal spaces specifically to help me develop the game as I always intended :D. All proper credits will be available in a credits window in the main menu, but for now I have a Notion table that I keep track of :P

Thanks for reading
