#3 The fight, seen through a viewfinder

The combat HUD is redrawn as a camera viewfinder. You can now see on screen how much a parry or a counter adds to the ultimate gauge.

Up to the last post the combat screen was a stand-in. The game's HUD is now redrawn as a camera viewfinder.

The third parry of a chain. The big number at the upper left is the ultimate gauge.

What changed

Viewfinder brackets in the four corners, a date and frame number at the lower left
Three parry gauge segments under the HP
The big number at the upper left is the ultimate gauge. Hits fill it, parries and counters fill it more, and the gain is shown right beside it.
The boss's HP and break gauge at the upper right

A counter lands. The gauge is full and the ultimate is ready.

The start of a run

Fight 1 → fight 2 → rest stop → boss. The top of the screen shows where you are.

Every name (LUX, GLOW, LONG EXPOSURE and so on) and number on screen is a placeholder. The typefaces are Chakra Petch and Black Han Sans, both under the SIL OFL.

Next: the entrance at the start of a run.
