Welcome to another progress update! The past two weeks have been relatively quiet in the studio, as most team members were traveling or taking care of personal matters.
Still, we managed to make improvements to the UI, and we can’t wait for you to see them!
Dark Mode Integration 🌛
As you are (most likely) aware, the game has a dark mode feature, which you can toggle in the settings at any time. We’ve been integrating the dark theme into the latest version of the game while also making UI improvements.
Here’s how the UI looked while it was a work in progress:
And this is how it looks now 🤩:
In-Game Menu Options ⚙️
We’ve expanded the In-Game menu settings to include options for resolution, control keys, and performance, building on the previous audio and theme settings.
Something else we thought would be neat is to change how the in-game menu displays when accessed during your playthrough.
Instead of adding a pop-up menu on your screen, the game screen slides down to reveal the menu:
Accounting Summary Improvements 🗒️
The accounting summary at the bottom left of the UI provides a much-needed snapshot of your Stand’s performance per time. For many players, this will be their first and most frequently used financial dataset.
Given the importance of this section, we’ve improved the design to feature a side-by-side presentation of Income and Expenses, with Operating Income presented as a distinct figure.
This layout provides a clearer and more digestible overview of your Stand’s finances per time.
And that’s a wrap for today!
As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts on these and any other improvements.
Cheers 🥂
