Scanline Party UI

Scanline Party UI is a set of 13 party and roster widgets drawn in the hologram style, where a thin trace carries a wide halo, and most of the frame is empty space. 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.

The halo is a stack of strokes at falling opacity rather than a blur filter — a filter is applied differently by some SVG rasterisers and smears at 4x. The trace is deliberately thin: a projected interface reads as light, and a heavy line reads as paint.

Inside that style this is the Scanline reading of it: a dark interface on a ocean black palette with ember orange accents, built around a single bordered frame, chamfered buttons at 120x34, hollow-cored bars divided into 24 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.

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 Scanline family, which means this kit and the Scanline panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for sci-fi projections, scanners and near-future overlays.
