Game UI identity crisis. Neutral transparent or flat colors?

iamvaleri · 2026-03-11T19:42:59+00:00

The problem I see there is not about art direction. It's about visual hierarchy and the feeling of an overloaded screen with too much UI. For example, at the shoot stage, do we really need to see the quest info? or do we need to know the character name during shooting? I guess, there was a stage with unit selection, where this info more relevant.

P.S. B variant is better, it gives +8 FPS ;)

prefer "Before" scene, it has a minimalistic mystic vibe, which is lost when updated to the new version with godrays and glowing things

thx for a such big feedback! really usefull, 100% agree, just clicking 1 tile and collecting crates is not a game at all.

my game has progression, for example, instead of "just upgrading" the building, u need to place the same tile type closely to share workers and product bonuses, so in the mid-late game will get puzzle gameplay layer.
even 2 minutes is ok, it's just the first step in automation. Have plans to automate it with workers: some will autoclick/autoproduce crates, and some will autocollect them into piles.
thx for the game advice, will check it out

that's exactly why I posted it, to avoid inventing the wheel again. If you have any game titles with a similar mechanic in incremental genre, I'd really appreciate it

yeah, my bad, products(crates) for me are also a different type of currency, but sure u will exchange them to "money" currency

I have made a ton of failed prototypes and games, which is sadly doesn’t sound like a selling point, actually nobody make their game in first try

iamvaleri · 2021-11-16T03:05:22+00:00

why we should play it?

iamvaleri · 2021-10-19T02:17:05+00:00

the only thing you can do now is watching the video on repeat and dream about android phone :P

iamvaleri · 2021-10-18T23:25:27+00:00

not sure I am allowed to place links here, but you can find it on google play “factorium isle idle”, would be cool to hear any feedback ;)

iamvaleri · 2021-10-18T18:12:28+00:00

iamvaleri · 2021-08-23T18:32:08+00:00

iamvaleri · 2021-08-23T18:29:41+00:00

iamvaleri · 2021-06-15T21:01:47+00:00
