Altough this is not from a game it's minimalistic enough. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SPF22fuZL7s/T ... oltips.png
So nothing fancy, just a quick way to know I am hoovering a stone and not an iron bar .

Re: This game badly needs tooltips
But I need to notice many of your examples are not exactly tooltips in a way KaM has em.

Yeah, like novice mode having all the tooltips on and expert mode having only few.

Re: This game badly needs tooltips
In KaM many elements are more in a grid, so separate hint area is less intrusive. Maybe we need to decorate it like Diablo screen does though (to draw more attention to it).

Re: This game badly needs tooltips
If we 'd have more freedom in art direction I would have made all UI elements bigger, cos on my 24: LCD they look quite small and pixely in fact )
Re: This game badly needs tooltips
They're quite a good size on the original resolutions KaM was designed for, 800x600 and 1024x768. Some people still use small resolutions so making it scale up with bigger resolutions would be the best option (but that's a massive redesign).If we 'd have more freedom in art direction I would have made all UI elements bigger, cos on my 24: LCD they look quite small and pixely in fact )
