Chromepop Party UI

Chromepop Party UI is a set of 13 party and roster widgets drawn in the Y2K style, where everything is flat and printed — thick straight outlines, solid blocks, no glow anywhere. It contains six party member card states, an empty, an occupied and a locked roster slot, a three-rank formation grid, a turn order strip, a party invite row and a roster swap arrow pair.

A HUD draws one character. A party screen draws four at once, and that is a different problem: with four cards side by side, whose turn it is, who is leading and who is down all have to be readable in the same glance, while the colour that would normally carry that is already spoken for by the characters themselves.

No gradient and no halo: the whole set is flat colour with a heavy straight outline, which is what separates the Y2K poster look from the neon one. The silhouettes are composed corner by corner rather than scaled from one rectangle, so a badge and a banner in the same set do not share an outline.

Inside that style this is the Chromepop reading of it: a dark interface on a pure black palette with hot pink accents, built around a single bordered frame, chamfered buttons at 160x44, hollow-cored bars divided into 12 segments, and two-tone icons on a 24px grid. Those measurements are why two families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

Every party state is a mark in a different place on the card, so two states can be true at once without either being lost: leader is a corner wedge at top left, active turn is a bar down the left edge, ready is a wedge at bottom right, targeted is a bracket around the whole card and downed is a hatch across it. None of them touches the portrait well, because the portrait belongs to your art rather than to the kit. The formation grid marks its front rank with the accent so a placement screen reads without a caption.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x, so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Chromepop family, which means this kit and the Chromepop panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for retro-futuristic menus and poster-styled interfaces.
