[ETHER] New HUD

So while C'than was playtesting ETHER, we did find that with the previous HUD, seeing shit below you was kind of difficult so I redesigned the HUD to be in a more vertical style and feel it suits the gameplay a lot more.

Old HUD:

New HUD:


As you can see the HUD has now an added "MODE" section where the different gun modes will be displayed. The CREDS section has also been moved to the upper left to allow for more numbers to be displayed as you rack up the creds. It will probably cap out around 8 digits or so, otherwise it would just look ridicilous and we don't plan on making any items in the game that will cost that much anyway. The ITEMS section will display the various system upgrades installed and possibly any keys you have aquired, similar to Duke Nukem 1.

I've also started adding some story elements to the game with the story being told through dialogue boxes that pop up at certain moments but never interrupting the action.
