Hello everyone,

although the game is not that old yet, some parts of the user interface could use an overhaul.

What you see here is a work in progress and just an example without any real connection to the game right now. (It's not Amy in the image and no scene or achievement has been unlocked)

What are the main changes and ideas for the UI:

No more waiting times when stats (like love, etc.) change. Instead, the change is shown with an overlay screen that automatically fades in an out while you can continue playing.

Depending on what is shown, the "show time" can be handled in a flexible way.

It will support multiple messages at the same time or very close after one another (up to 4 or 5, not sure yet)

There will be bifferent icons and colors for the different stats changes (love, affection, anger, etc.)

The icon images will be more or less "filled" depending on the corresponding value (e.g. 60 love would mean a heart that is 60% filled will be shown)

Info on quest changes, etc. will also be displayed that way in the future (probably not directly with the first update for the new UI)

A new type of information will be available: "Scene/Event/Appointment unlocked!"   (probably  not directly with the first update for the new UI) 

It supports left menu shown and hidden, please check the image below

Transparency of the black image part could/might be connected with the transparency setting from the settings, that are already used for the semi transparent black image that is shown behind the text. Not sure about this one yet.

Left menu shown (Amy love is just fading out):

I hope you like the changes.Darkhound

That looks awesome! The game is already very user friendly and the UI is pretty easy to understand, but aesthetic improvements are always a big plus. And the more useful data, the better.

So Amy gains Love when the Player looks at Jessica's Rack and it is an achievement. Think he deserves a well done for that feat. (I did read the text, just decided to trust the picture more, for fun of course)

Haha, that's one way of putting it :) No worries, I'm not easily offended. I'm not really an UI designer, but I try to make it better.

darkhound1

Thank you very much. I'm glad you like it.

darkhound1

Haha, and what about the UI changes?

pikminbiomaster

Np I was just trying to be clever The UI was always serviceable just an upgrade is much appreciated

Nice feature. Will we be able to select which type of info message to be displayed or deactivated it at all ? ( like you did for the hint icons in the phone ).

Is there anyway to add indicator towards goal for unlocking next lock scene? For specific characters.

As a recent patron of yours I wanted to take a minute and thank you. The renderings in your story remind me fondly of the works of Alberto Vargas who was an artist that the old Playboy magazine used back when it had style, class and real eroticism. Thank you for the call back of the 50's and 60's pin-up type art work. You've made one old man pretty happy.

darkhound1

Thanks. Not right away. It's enough work as it is to change everything over from the old logic. Most of the information you really always want to get. It will disturb the game flow a lot less than the old logic, since you just continue playing.

The game is not linear, so there is no "next scene".

Nissebrygger

That is a hard question to answer without resorting to autopilot looks great response. So, Gut reaction. Good. But the game's Renders are done for a situation without tags taking space. Since most renders have the girls centered, I imagine it should not be an issue for those, as the left hand side will have room for the tags (as the example). On the other hand, those where the girls are close up (fills the screen) left aligned (doctor, dinner, others) or horizontal (ivy at pool etc) might not "have room". That it will ultimately work I consider given, no argument there, You always do nice work. But wonder if the cost of implementation might be higher than expected before it merges in smoothly with the rest of the game (as its 5000-6000 Renders and many scene that did not know it would exist it has to work with). Once done think it will be very nice.

When new version for android user? And thx for the great game!! I would love some chubby girls :P

darkhound1

I'm sorry, but I've never released an android version. Other people made a conversion.

Hi Mr. Darkhound, Would u consider adding an Indian girl in future?

darkhound1

You already have a girl with indian background. Natasha. Right now I don't have any plans on adding new girls. But I'm not ruling it out for the future.
