Devlog #3 | UI/ UX updates

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the third issue of our devlog! This week, we're happy to show you our updates in UI/UX.

Based on your feedback, we have been refining and improving several parts of the UI/UX in order to help you understand the game better without overwhelming you with information.


[h2]Building warnings[/h2]

Buildings now provide a more detailed description of why they might not be functioning. You can simply check if there’s a red warning next to the building, and if there is one, you get extra info by hovering on the warning.





[h2]HUD tooltip[/h2]

The daily production and consumption now can easily be accessed through newly designed tooltips on the HUD.




[h2]Connection tab[/h2]

Additionally, we have improved the connection tab to more clearly display the amount transferred, any possible losses due to the connections, as well as any critical issues on connected buildings.




[h2]Expedition log[/h2]

Furthermore, the expedition log has been improved to more clearly display the earnings or losses from each decision, as well as what’s new since your last visit.




[h2]Notifications[/h2]

Finally, notifications now are clearer, stay longer, and also have a log.



[h2]Tutorial videos[/h2]

In order to make things even clearer, we have placed some tutorial videos to better visually explain certain complicated mechanics.

[h2]---[/h2]


That's it for today! We have an exciting demo update coming soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, let us know what you think in our Discord.
