Square Viewport with sidebar HUD

Hey all,

I’ve realized that my game doesn’t really make sense with a widescreen view. It’s easy enough to force a square aspect ratio, but my partner pointed out that it would be silly to have our HUD anywhere but in the vertical spaces that would otherwise be unused.

So, I need a setup that will guarantee a square game view while also allowing me to use the vertical bars on the sides for my HUD.

I’m sorry for the somewhat vague “help me make thing” post, but I really don’t know where to start with this.

Any suggestions to help me get started would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Still stumped on this. Sorry. Gotta bump.

Anyone know if I’d be more likely to get responses in another forum?
