ARC Raiders-Inspired Health System
Taking inspiration from Embark Studios' acclaimed ARC Raiders, our health system focuses on visual feedback over numbers. Instead of cluttered stat displays, the HUD communicates your status through intuitive, animated bars that feel alive.How It Works
Segmented Shield & Health Bars- 5-sector segmented design for clear visual chunking
- Shield bar (top) absorbs damage before health
- Health bar (bottom) shows your vital status
- Each segment represents 20% — know your status at a glance
- Damage trailing — When hit, a red "ghost bar" lingers showing damage taken, then smoothly catches down to your actual health
- Screen shake — Subtle shake effect on damage for visceral feedback
- Color flash — Bars and borders flash red momentarily on impact
- No floating numbers or damage text — just clean visual communication
- Animated fill stripes — Green diagonal stripes animate across health when healing
- Orange stripes for shield regeneration
- Step-based animation — Health fills in satisfying increments, not instant jumps
- Visual feedback that feels rewarding without being distracting
