    Didn't realize they weren't using scaleform. At least we'll get shiny GUIs now!

    You can tell quite easily from the fact that there are no complex animations in the menu other than drawing a plain texture under the font to mark a selection or changing the font color and the only fancy stuff in the menu is some panning textures in the background.
    Would be horrible to really animate the textures with color changes and so on without using Flash.

    It should be pretty easy depending on what features are supported by the engine, but since I have not used Unreal Engine I wont comment on that.

    But coding up a small bag of flashy effects for use on menus is trivial. They just didnt put their time into that, just as they did not put their time into making a more detailed tutorial.

    It is pretty clear where they focused their attention in this game. The gameplay is great and the game is fun, but polish was only added to the gameplay itself, and nowhere else.
