It was a lot of little things that slowed me down though, like figuring out why one button looked pixelated in game view while the others didn&#8217;t (scaling and text size difference) or altering the overall sizes of the Canvas areas little by little until I deemed it a decent size.  Plus, it&#8217;s not even fully completed yet. Even though everything I&#8217;ve set up so far is working as expected, I&#8217;m still not satisfied with how it looks. I&#8217;m going to have to let that be for now though. As Ryan told me, the polish can always come later, and we won&#8217;t be adding the UI art until later on anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"464\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5219\/files\/2022\/01\/StandUp-2-Hierarchy.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5219\/files\/2022\/01\/StandUp-2-Hierarchy.png 464w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5219\/files\/2022\/01\/StandUp-2-Hierarchy-265x300.png 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><figcaption>Menus on top of menus on top of menus&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I knew developing a game takes a good deal of time and effort, but now I have a more accurate idea of how much and just, wow.
