Weekly Report: Phone UI

Added 2023-07-07 02:33:10 +0000 UTC

In the earliest stages of development, I never thought about designing a good UI, and all I cared about was that it just worked. As the game got deeper into development, the UI became so cluttered that it left new or returning players confused, and the screen had so much going on, just like a common mobile gacha game. It needed to be simple and have easy navigation, so the UI has been improved. I pick the most common UI, which is a phone, since we use it every day and it has basic functions. With this new UI, I can also come up with new ideas, and I also had to make this in order for the new mechanic to work, which I will be introducing next week.

I had some extra time during development and decided to draw Ganyu. Since not all of you here are on my discord or don't know I post this in Newgrounds, I might just put it here so I can show what I did. The first picture I show is the one posted in NG and Discord, while the other one is not. I wanted to know which of the two pictures is better because one has outlines and the other has a different color palette with no outlines. Let me know your opinions on which is better.

Have a nice day!!
