Greetings, ๐
Welcome to another progress update! As always, weโve got some news to share from our latest development.
Over the last two weeks, our team focused on the localization of various menu screens, visual effects, and reviewed and implemented user interface updates.
Localization Efforts ๐
Our localization efforts continue to progress nicely. This sprint was focused on various tooltips and user interface menus for Product and Management screens, such as Ordering, Inventory, Recipe, and Prices. We managed to finally implement the localization for those menus! ๐ช
The biggest struggle was numerous text blocks in the game’s user interface and tooltips with complex dynamic structures that we needed to overcome, and to adjust the different text sizes and formats in other languages to make the user interface visually appealing. For that, we decided to organize a flow using Unity’s Localization tools and extended editor functionality.
Hover and Selection Visual Effects 2.0โจ
As mentioned in our previous newsletter the improved visual effects for the stand hover and selection, we increased the selection area to include the stand and spot selection zone. This adjustment enhances the visibility of available spots when players hover their cursor over them.
Final User Interface Implementations ๐ ๏ธ
Simplifying a complex user interface for strategy/management games is essential for a great user experience. This sprint weโve refined the alignment and layout of key elements in the Ordering, Pricing, Inventory, and Recipe menus.
We also reviewed various contents in the game so that it will enhance accessibility for a wider audience. Like dark mode, we hope and believe that these improvements increase visual aesthetics and usability. Some of our community members have already commented on how the dark mode feature feels comfortable in the eyes, which is what weโre looking for. We hope that these improvements will make the gaming experience more memorable.
Hereโs what the finished look for the user interface in Vehicle Swapping screen:
And thatโs a wrap for today!
As always, weโd love to hear your thoughts on these and any other improvements.
Chat with us on Discord. ๐ช
Cheers ๐ฅ
Donโt forget to Wishlist the game if you havenโt!
Live Long and Prosper ๐,
Kunal & Team
