Hello everyone, and welcome to another dev diary! Here's a quick look at what we're currently working on for the third content update.
UI Overhaul
UI design has always been one of our weaknesses. That's why we are working really hard to create a much more pleasant UI experience for our players. We started things off with a simple HUD redesign.
As you can see, we have managed to decrease the number of icons on the upper part. This improvement allowed us to add some text next to each icon. So you'll no longer have to hover on them to see where it leads.
The missing buttons were moved to the overview section. This is mostly because of the fact that all of these tabs have something to do with your station and how you manage it. We think that they fit nicely in this brand new overview panel. We would love to hear your feedback on this.
Most of the old UI windows, like the finance tab, are also being reworked. Our current focus with this new UI direction is to make use of the empty space we have in order to offer a much better user experience.
Big Ships!
Aren't you bored of always seeing same-sized ships? Yeah, we are too. Here's a look at the big ships of Space Station Tycoon!
These new ships have way more visitors in them. But as you can probably imagine, they are just too big to be able to dock on your basic docking bays. This is where our new building comes in: The large docking bay!
With this new docking building, these huge ships will be able to dock onto your station without any problems.
Thank You!
