User-facing reference for the UI Builder tool.
v0.9.5 runtime UI recipes and bindings
UI Builder still creates normal Godot UI. v0.9.5 adds project-owned DreamUIScreenRecipe, DreamUIBinding, and DreamUIListBinding resources plus a runtime binder for supported HUD, menu, inventory, quest, and dialogue workflows. Recipes can bind scalar values, visibility, actions, localized text, repeated lists, accessibility metadata, focus paths, transitions, and pause/modal behavior. Activation remains explicit; enabling Dreamcatcher does not auto-wire an existing UI architecture.
UI Builder
Status: Stable
Category: Creation
Use it when: you need HUDs, menus, feature list screens, or interface layouts.
First task
Create a simple HUD with health, score/currency, and one icon slot.
Inputs
A scene or game state concept that needs display.
Outputs
A UI scene/layout or configured interface elements.
How it connects
Often follows Database/Generated Asset Browser and is tested through Quick Play.
Common mistakes
Unreadable scaling; missing icons; untested controller/mobile layout.
Validation
Preview and Quick Play the UI; validate missing textures or references.
First safe task
- Open the tool from Dreamcatcher.
- Start with one tiny project-owned output.
- Save or apply only one change.
- Run Content Validator or Quick Play before expanding.
Success looks like
The output exists in the expected project location, related references are visible in the Inspector/tool UI, and no validator error points to a missing path or deleted resource.
Common mistake
Stacking several generated outputs or gameplay connections before checking one simple result first.
