Founders Vault: 'Planet_Sceen_Beta_1b'

Posted on Tuesday, April 8, 2014

Take a look if you haven't already. Hope it is ok to post some impressions, obviously not going to repost the image here...

 

I am really liking the improvements to the planet interface, it looks a lot cleaner and the build-able hexes are significantly more distinct. Also like how the clear production/wealth/research menu is and the sharpness of the terrain map along with a proper separated queue (and separate cancel ).

 

The only possible improvement that comes to mind is perhaps changing the layout or at least increasing the size of the options under the 'Available Projects' header (All, Improvements, Projects etc)...maybe it is just my old eyes but they still seem a bit small. Also while only 'coloring in' the hexes is nice and makes them a lot more obvious it is perhaps a bit of a shame to make the rest of the planet terrain black and white (but may be a worthwhile trade-off).

 

Really liking the design overall though
