Terraria Inventory

What kind of inventory is it?

The Terraria game inventory is Limited, because there is only a certain amount of space you have to fill up. It is also menu-based and a utility belt style. You bring up the full inventory as a menu, but the game play remains un-disturbed so it is also a utility belt. There is a "hot-bar" menu, which displays the 1-9 inventory slots to place different items.
How does the user interact with the inventory?

Number 1-9 keys are used with the hot-bar items, and when the player opens up the full inventory, They click an item they want to use in the hot-bar, then they can place it into one of the free spaces, or they can swap it.

What is controlled within it?

The different items and weapons are controlled within the inventory, along with the food etc.

 How is the interface accessed by the player from the game screen?­­­­­­­­­­­

The user can press the escape button and then select inventory, or a quicker hot-key version is just by pressing the "I" key.
Does the inventory suit the game play?

Yes, all of the items look exactly like the game style, it is pixelated, and all of the items are very colorful which matches as well. You can also collect certain items to use with some weapons.
What do you think of the inventory and why?

I think that the inventory is rather "cute" the items are small to fit in the slots. there are items that you start off with, which don't break, so i think they should be removed because it destroys the point of the game a little bit, I think that the player should start from scratch and make their own items. otherwise I think that it has been very well thought out and the items are amazing.
How may this influence your design?

My design (because of Terraria) now I would like it to be in this style, I like the fact there are little block you can destroy, and that there are floating islands that give you special items. I have used the fallen stars and star cannons in my design, because It is a really good idea.
