Hyperlane HUD Frames
====================

10 arcade heads-up display frames for dark interfaces — deep violet with
sunset orange accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Hyperlane HUD Frames is a set of 10 heads-up display frames drawn in the
arcade style, where the colour is the body rather than the border — saturated
slabs with pointed ends. It contains a minimap frame with a north marker, a
character portrait frame, a compass strip, three crosshair reticles, an
objective waypoint marker and a quest tracker plate.

These are the pieces that stay on screen the whole time a game is being
played, which makes them the hardest to get right: every one of them has to be
readable over arbitrary game art without covering the middle of the screen.

Each slab is filled with a two-stop gradient running along its long axis, and
the marks are drawn dark on top of the colour rather than bright on top of
black. The pointed ends are part of the silhouette, so they survive being
scaled instead of being an outline effect.

Inside that style this is the Hyperlane reading of it: a dark interface on a
deep violet palette with sunset orange accents, built around two concentric
frames, fully rounded pill buttons at 192x48, glossy bars divided into 6
segments, and two-tone icons on a 32px 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.

The quest plate marks a completed objective with a filled box and a
struck-through line rather than by dimming it, so the tracker stays legible
against a bright sky. The compass ticks alternate major and minor so a heading
can be read at a glance rather than counted.

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 Hyperlane family,
which means this kit and the Hyperlane panel kit line up without either being
resized. A good fit for racing, arcade and score-driven interfaces.

HOW TO USE

  - Anchor the minimap frame to a screen corner and render your map texture
    into the recessed area; the north marker is part of the frame so it stays
    fixed while the map rotates.
  - Draw the objective marker in screen space clamped to the viewport edge,
    not in world space, or it vanishes the moment the target is off camera.
  - Pick one reticle and keep it — the three are alternatives for different
    weapon feels, not a set to mix within one game.
