Update #100 for Shogun Exodus introduces the Building Portrait HUD, a new interface element designed to improve actor visibility within structures. This system displays the Shogun alongside any AI actors currently registered in the same building as the player. The HUD utilizes masked portrait slots featuring existing head art, integrated health bars with bottom-up fill height, and color-coded happiness gradients to provide immediate status feedback.
In addition to visual updates, the new HUD includes interactive tooltips and right-click functionality for accessing detailed character sheets. To accommodate these changes, the gameplay UI layout has been adjusted; the time and speed controls are now located in the bottom-right corner of the screen. These updates streamline navigation and data management, ensuring a more efficient user experience during management gameplay.
