Polishing the Tracker Update: Tooltips, UI & More...

[p]Hey Dragon hunters, and welcome to another Dev Blog![/p][p][/p][p]Over the past few weeks, the team have been working on any reminding bugs you've reported as well as polishing the content of the Tracker Update.[/p][p]Meanwhile, we’ve officially started working on multiplayer integration, which will be the focus of our 3rd major update.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]With that, let’s take a closer look at what changed…[/p][p][/p][h3]Polishing Tooltips[/h3][p][/p][p]One of the requests we’ve received from the community was for more transparent and detailed tooltips, and if you’ve been following our recent DevBlogs, you know we’ve been working on it.[/p][p][/p][p]TLDR We enhanced the visibility and readability of tooltips, removed item score, and added actual numerical values.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]Better Chests[/h3][p][/p][p]We have been working on making chests scattered around the map more visible.[/p][p][/p][p]Now, chests should be much easier to spot![/p][p][/p][p]On top of that, we’re making chests a bit more interesting, as these will now have a slight chance to drop legendary or mythical equipment, which wasn’t the case before.[/p][p]We hope this will makes picking them up feel a bit more worthwhile.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]User Interface tweaks & New art[/h3][p][/p][p]Our Graphic Designer, Bastien Limelette, has been busy adding new visuals, polishing the UI (User Interface) to make it more unique to each class.[/p][p][/p][p]Now each character got a different visual when opening the inventory, a small touch, we think adds some flavor.[/p][p]
[/p][p]Along those lines, each class now has unique ring art, including their upgrades.[/p][p][/p][p]That said, regardless of the visual appearance, all rings are transferable and can be worn by any class (e.g., you can equip a ring with the Oracle visual on a Knight).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We’re polishing up the quest log to make it easier to read and quicker to understand.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]That’s it for today[/h3][p][/p][p]We hope you enjoyed the read![/p][p]We have a lot of improvements coming and we did polish UI elements here and there we didn't show but you'll discover in the Tracker Update.[/p][p]If you like what you see and feel like spreading the word about Dragonkin, don’t hesitate to share your DevBlogs![/p][p][/p][p]Also, feel free to come say hi on Discord![/p][p][/p][p]Until next time…[/p][p]Cheers!
