Welcome to the fourth installment of our producer's notes, where we delve into the UI/UX rework of the character screen and backpack. This update aims to enhance user interaction and streamline the accessibility of game features.
Character Screen Modifications
The upper part of the character screen remains largely unchanged to maintain familiarity. However, we've restructured the bottom section into three distinct parts, improving overall navigation and making it easier to interact with other players directly – actions like fighting and comparing stats are now more accessible.
Backpack Enhancements
We've relocated the backpack to the bottom of the mobile character screen. This adjustment required a redesign of the layout for other screens to ensure a cohesive user experience. The new, large scrollable backpack format replaces the traditional chests, offering a more intuitive and space-efficient way to manage items.
The backpack now operates context-sensitively, enhancing item interaction based on the screen you're viewing:
- In your character view, items unsuitable for your class are marked as "no interaction possible”, helping you manage your inventory efficiently.
- When accessing the smith screen, each item displays the resources you'll gain upon dismantling, making decision-making simpler.
- On the toilet screen, items that can be discarded are clearly indicated, streamlining the cleanup process.
These changes are designed to make the game interface both visually appealing and user-friendly, improving the overall gaming experience.
Stay tuned for further insights in our upcoming producer's notes, where we will continue to explore more aspects of our comprehensive UI/UX rework. Next up: the guild.
