StarCraft

more like Homeworld / Outpost / Ascendancy / Invisible Inc / Mass effect 1 to me. But not direct ripoff any of them.

Invisible Inc, the sounds are even on point.

This reminds me of 2advanced studios way back when. They built crazy futuristic flash GUIs like this. Here's one from 2001: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHbQmqmmIFk

Thank you for bringing up the name of the 2advanced studio! I tried a couple of years ago, but could not remember it. In 2003, their design[1] just blew my mind, they were way ahead of their time.

The feel of this interface is incredible. What's most interesting is that it evokes lots of memories from the games I played more than 20 years ago, and yet it is very distinct and doesn't copy any of them. Feels almost like something very familiar, but you can't quite grasp where you saw it. This is incredible and I'll be following this project, and probably will do something with this framework, too.

The UI reminds me a bit of a mix between the EoC:IW2 UI (https://gamefabrique.com/games/independence-war-2-edge-of-ch...) and the ingress web UI. The fonts are doing a lot of the leg work for that.

Maybe a bit of EVE Online too.

This seems to be abandoned in the middle of the alpha cycle of the very first release - https://github.com/arwes/arwes

I may be bad at the internet, but how do people get *.dev domains to load in their browser? Those always break in Firefox/Chrome for me. I was under the impression Google had bought the TLD. I've mostly been able to ignore it, but now I'd like to see this but can't.

I really like the look of this. Kudos to the creator. It's legible, fast, and doesn't make my eyes bleed from the brightness. This is excellence in proper use of contrast. I'm tempted to use this on all my sites. Side note: I don't get any audio in Firefox. I had to load the page in Chromium to hear audio.

I have audio in Firefox 79 / Win10.
