Hello everyone,
As mentioned at the end of the previous post we have been remaking the game's user interface. Here is a look at what we have so far.
We are moving away from the neutral mono-coloured UI design in favour of something much more colourful, friendly, inviting, and fun. The icon designs are going from flat/silhouette designs to more colourful literal depictions of the things they represent. This is a more classical approach to doing it and this visual style is intended to make things feel more like a fun game and less like a piece of software.
The other menu designs that are found throughout the game are still being worked on and they will be shown in a later update post. 46 icons have been made so far and there are perhaps another 18 more to still be made. The icons in the bottom left of the screen all have their own little sub-menus of icons that appear when they are clicked and they are the icons that are yet to be made along with a few others found through some of the other menus.
I personally think things are going in a really good direction and I have always remembered one of the earliest negative reviews of the game that mentioned that the UI was not very satisfying. Our work on remaking the UI represents another very serious attempt by us to fix parts of the game that players find to be quite unsatisfying. The next update post will show even more new UI elements.
We hope you are all having a very nice Tuesday,
The Fishery Team
