Incoming huge UI changes

A Little Bit of History

In the very beginning, when we first started designing this game, we focused on many different aspects—gameplay, AI, characters, monsters, and more. However, when it came to menus—especially the shop/inventory/barracks screen (the one you see between waves)—we assumed we could simply build on our initial design as we went along. That initial design, by the way, was thrown together in about three minutes. We figured menus weren’t that complicated and didn’t require much attention.

We were wrong.

The interface we created was ugly, unintuitive, messy, and difficult to use. It led to a frustrating user experience, and we received a lot of negative feedback about it. On top of that, our existing design simply couldn’t accommodate the new features we wanted to add.

So, we decided to redesign it completely.

This time, we gave the issue the attention it deserved. We spent time learning about UI/UX principles, then carefully designed a new interface from scratch. It was a huge undertaking, but one that had to be done. After a lot of work, the new UI is almost finished and will be in the game in just a few days.

We believe the new interface looks and feels significantly better, and we hope you’ll enjoy it.
