Devlog 12 - Making a Thematic UI with Pixel Art Style

Hello!
How’s your day?

Back to Aquaculture Land devlog again. Still trying to make a good UI for you guys. After getting some feedback for the current UI we use in the experimental build, we try to redesign the UI (based on the feedback) to make it look better.

Current UI design in Experimental Build

Thank you so much for our fellow @Perfvillain, @Nichiya, @YoYo C, @balvaro21, @Pikarie, @K I N G C K, @ziach1, @Reynolds, @rangsmith, @Darshan Li Nair for giving us an idea what we need to do with the UI.

Most of the feedback we received talked about the color of the UI. The color is too bright and somewhat does not match with the theme that the game used. The dominant color we used for the current UI in the experimental build is white and orange. According to the feedback, we decided to try to use the color palette we use for the UI before, dominant brown.

Changed the color into brown to match the theme of the game

Another reason why we try to use brown for dominant color is that some feedback said that the color from the previous UI is better. And this color also matches the theme used.

Just before we delivered the changed UI to you, our artist team had an idea for making a pixel art UI. And with a thematic design for this time. Because we use pixel art for the game, why don't we try it in the UI too? We still use brown for the dominant color. Board and paper is the theme for the UI. So the pop-up will look like a paper note on board with buttons look like a sticky note.

Thematic Pixel Art UI we want to deliver

We decided to deliver this pixel art UI to you instead of the changed color-only UI. But before we implement the pixel art UI into the game build, we really need your feedback about it. We want to deliver a good and best UI for you. That's why we want to know what kind of UI you think are good.

We have a little survey for this new UI design. This survey will take a couple of minutes and will help us to know which type of UI is the best for you.

If you have a moment to spare, please fulfill the survey on this google form: https://forms.gle/Z8EJT5wWgbQyfBRL8

We hope that with this survey, we can find out what kind of UI designs you like so we can deliver it to you through Aquaculture Land.

So, that's it for today's devlog. We will do our best to make you more enjoy playing Aquaculture Land. And UI design is one of our concerns about it. If you have any feedback or suggestion about Aquaculture Land, feel free to tell us.
