Today was all about getting my hands dirty with UI/UX and World Space integration. It’s one thing to make a button work, but it’s another to make that button actually change the world around it!

I spent the day "under the hood," learning how to connect a simple interface to environmental triggers. It’s not perfect yet, but seeing the campfire toggle or the "Day/Night" shift happen in real-time feels like a massive win.

Bridging the Gap: Learning how to make UI elements (like sliders and toggles) talk to the scene's lighting and music systems.

Atmosphere Tweak: Experimenting with brightness and Day/Night settings to understand how they change the player’s "vibe."

System Logic: Figuring out the logic for music volume and fire animations—it’s a lot more than just a checkbox!

Flow: Adding small camera movements and UI animations to help the menu feel a bit more natural and less "static."

Still a long way to go and plenty more to learn, but I’m happy with how these systems are starting to talk to each other.
