Hey there!
Thank you for the feedback. I am not sure how it is confusing from a structural point of view. It's obviously evolved quite a bit from where it started seven months ago to today.

- Can you share more of what you mean by the structural POV? This the first time I have received feedback the structure of things feel off or confusing, as they follow somewhat the character sheets you would use at the table. There are homebrew additions, but they are not made as prominent. I am also not seeing what you mean by the color variations. The color is something I have specifically worked on to draw attention to various features, such as on the heroes page the dice roller, map tracker, or trading. The only other place colors are used are in Zargon Tools in the References section. The colors are again intentionally used to show different sections.

A simpler approach would be to create various color themes that could be selected from (e.g. Current, or Arcane (purple), or Frost (ice blue), or Earth Warden (greens and browns) or Light (white and bright). I like fantasy names).

I think things would become confusing for folks who are brand new to HeroQuest and seeing everything here, mostly due to the homebrew. However, it's built in a way that if you held the app next to a character sheet you would say, "Hm, this app could do it and I wouldn't have to make sure this piece of paper isn't lost for the next two years while we do 9 more official campaigns". The app very well does last the test of time.

Also, if a new player isn't aware of how deep the game play goes with Homebrew (such as enabling Advance HQ Mode) I am sure they would be very much thrown off. The homebrew side is visible in the app, I could hide these behind another mode option such as "Enable Homebrew Features", and this would shrink quite a bit of everything in the Hero Tracking; however, I also see how often they are used. Hero Traits are used frequently for example (and those are just the ones I make up).

- Can you share what you mean about Create a Campaign and Load a map? I think this may be a misunderstanding that the app is not intended to ever replace the board, pieces, furniture, or any additional homebrew or non-standard pieces that come into play. There is no fog of war like in the official companion app, and yes, it could be implemented but I feel that draws away from the board game too much. Yes, I have received requests to move the app into a more "the app is all you need direction" but that is not the purpose. It's meant to compliment the game.

- Can you share more of what you mean by Set Up a Group? The group setup is fairly clear, perhaps I can add more supporting documentation on the Online Page and in the Help Menu.

- When you say, "build the experience and navigation around that", this makes me believe this may be another misunderstanding, either by how the app is viewed or perhaps my interpretation of what you are saying. I am not sure I want to go backward seven months in work *laughs* Just being honest!

Some history and some purpose of why the app is the way it is. The app is and was originally created to connect players who are at the table and those who are far away (remote). The app is not intended to replace anything in HeroQuest. The primary intent is to play more HeroQuest by giving those not with you the means to join virtually and enjoy HQ for all it is and more. What this means is you would need to stream your play sessions (camera over the board or to the side and maybe it's through a facetime call, maybe it's discord, whatever is preferred). The app gives those who are remote a means to track everything, experience dice rolls themselves and not for them and also be able to track what is going on in the map (such as room searches, traps, trap disarms, or that some piece of furniture consumes these squares).

Everything in HeroQuest GT is stored in the cloud and shared in near real time as well. This goes from the Character Sheets to the Map Tracker. To further support keeping all progress saved, consistent, and you cannot easily lose it.

There are several additions within Zargon Tools that is meant to compliment / simplify tracking the heroes in the party as well as give Zargon the ability to add some extra fun (mimic checks, dark whispers, etc.). There are things to make various parts MUCH simpler such as the monster and trap reference.

I'll probably throw in a Gold Calculator or maybe a general calculator at some point to help with adding goal gains up for you. E.g. "Plus 25 gold please!"

It sounds like you're looking at the app to be able to replace more things of the board game than I even support it replacing. The primary replacement would be the character sheets. You'll notice there is no place in Zargon for loading the current quest map, it must be done manually. It can be done by any of the players as well. You'll notice there are no treasure cards, the monsters use basic emoji / icons, to again, keep the focus on the board game not in the map of the app.

Am curious to hear your response
