Bloodborne Quick Items Screen Rework

About This Project

A revision of Bloodborne's quick item menu, which I did as a personal project.

​

Bloodborne is an excellent action-RPG and one of my favorite games. I have created an updated UI for its Quick item menu as a personal project.

The menu is designed to bind a set of inventory items to a limited number of quick item slots that can later be accessed directly in-game.

 

What are the problems with the original quick items menu?

 

- Every single quick item slot has a separate, identical menu

- A lot of information that is irrelevant for consumable items (player level, equipped runes, most player stats)

- You can see in the menu which items are selected as quick items, but not to which specific slot they are bound to, making item organization unnecessarily confusing

​

The revision allows for a more effective overview and control over all quick item slots on one screen, avoiding the display of irrelevant information.

 

By providing a more effective overview, the system fits better with Bloodborne's fast paced gameplay, as the game does not pause during the menus.

 

This work is a non-profit design project.

The item list on the left was later replaced with two rows of item icons to save space and avoid  duplicate descriptions
