I do UI programming for AAA games and I have opinions about adult games
i love ui design! i like it a lot more than most devs i've met! but also jesus christ this thing is like five menus that all need to have completely correct concurrent information and interact with one another in a variety of ways to allow for different use cases all while consistently validating whether the current deck is playable
Different resolutions?? Localization??? Button prompt switching???? Never heard of her 🥲
(This menu looks fantastic; good job, Mx. Flowers!!)
it feels like everyone builds at least one declarative client-server model user interface at least once in their gamedev career 😅 or maybe it's just me
I’m in this mode too right now and also love it, but constantly feel like there Must Be a Better Way
Right? Like it's always so fiddly making sure everything's constantly updated to the right information and that it handles every possible state gracefully
coming from web dev, which is mostly ui and has so many weird concerns, the answer is that there unfortunately really is not a better way, just a collection of reasonably good ways that seem great until you inevitably reach the more common than you’d expect situation where it works awfully ;-;
RIGHT?? Our UI artist, @mallaichte, knocked it out of the park
Holy shit that animation rules
And is that multiple decks as conversation approaches I see
mayyyyyybe :)
(not for the demo because i have Too Much To Do but it's a planned feature for the full game)
This looks fucking incredible and in parallel I'm so terrified by all the work I'm gonna be doing for my own card game haha
