Game Development So Far
Hi everyone update time!
Last week’s progress went a little something like this
- Front end GUI – After a number of iterations and a few moments of despair I finally came up with a front end UI style I really think fits the game style. I’d originally considered a GUI that would support touch as well as mouse control, but I don’t want the PC experience to suffer in the name of preparing for any future ports. Therefore I went for a mouse friendly style that I think is aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.
- Hire Staff/Buy Equipment/Build – The panel for Hire Staff was the next part to have a face lift. I’m still in the process of finalising the changes and when I do the Equipment and Build panels will inherit the changes.
Other Developments
This week was also my birthday and coincided really well with the Lapsed Gamer Radio interview going live. I really enjoyed that interview I’m really pleased with how it turned out. As always the LGR guys give it a highly polished and professional feel! You can check it out here:
This week I’ve started to see quite a nice increase in traffic to the Discord server. I’ve been really pleased with how the server has been going since the changes and I really like the chat and banter with everyone there. I can’t wait to see some of the entries for the next challenge which has people attempting to design a sports brand for use in Gym Empire 🙂
Time Management
So with the continued focus on UI this week’s tasks will be:
- Finalising the Panel design for the menus
