Recon Input Prompts

Recon Input Prompts is a set of 16 input prompt sprites drawn in the field kit style, where stencilled panels with squared corners, a bone trace and exactly one signal colour. It contains square, wide and pressed keycaps, four arrow keys, four gamepad face buttons, a shoulder button and a trigger and three mouse button prompts.

A game that supports both a keyboard and a gamepad has to show both, at matching sizes, in the same sentence — and almost nobody ships that art, so it gets drawn by hand at the end of a project when there is no time for it.

No glow and no gradient anywhere: a painted crate does not glow, and the restraint is the whole look. The silhouettes stay close to the rectangle and earn their difference from stepped shoulders and edge rails rather than from cuts, which is how stencilled field markings actually behave.

Inside that style this is the Recon reading of it: a dark interface on a gunmetal palette with flare orange accents, built around a single bordered frame, chamfered buttons at 116x32, hollow-cored bars divided into 20 segments, and two-tone icons on a 16px 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.

No letters are drawn anywhere in this set. Embedding a typeface means embedding its licence, and a baked-in "E" is wrong in every remapped control scheme and every language; the shapes are here and your engine draws the glyph on top with the font it already has.

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 Recon family, which means this kit and the Recon panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for tactical, survival and military interfaces.
