Neuroshima Hex - New UI/UX Part 1

Neuroshima Hex

Neuroshima Hex is a post-apocalyptic tactical game from the designers of Neuroshima, the board game. It is all about strategy and tactics on one hexagonal battlefield. The game offers many different units, technologies and special abilities that can be used for an effective strategy.

Hello! Welcome, dear strategists and warriors of the wasteland! In this devlog, I will show you some UI changes that we recently added to Neuroshima Hex for PC! The UI (user interface) is an important thing, especially in video games. In board games, it's a bit tricky since there is no "pop-up window" on the table where you're playing the board game, eh? But in digital games, the UI plays a great role! We will allow you to take a sneak peek before the premiere, but remember that it's still a WIP (work in progress). We took some of the feedback you gave us after the demo and on social media, and we definitely improved the UI and its experience in Neuroshima Hex for PC. (You will have a chance to check it out soon enough. ;) ) [h1]Token Check[/h1] Let's start with the "Token/Tile Check" function. This simple mechanic allows you to check the properties of any token you select. Here is the old version. The fonts are too big, and there is a scroller. Not good enough!

[b][h2]NEW[/h2][/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44366745/170c05442c5b3098aef0650ce8b630214c114bc0.png[/img] At just one glance, players can see all a unit's properties, including special features, stats, etc. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44366745/8e252f0e31d12a5acc86801e7db53c56c20bb9b2.png[/img] [h1]Creating New Game[/h1] We also changed the screens for creating a game and selecting your armies, AI level, etc. Old ones - simple but not amusing: [h2][b]OLD[/b][/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44366745/844cbb67e0340fbd2bee7e0a98d6c04ad454817e.png[/img] New ones!! [h2][b]NEW[/b][/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44366745/580bc8ca439b82c9194f3da0687442567f9038f2.gif[/img] Now they are combined into one big screen with additional features. It's easier to navigate! Believe me. Online multiplayer screens are similar. Just wait for the new devlog. ;) [h1]Quality of Life Improvements[/h1] As a bonus, we present an additional feature you requested in our polls and messages: [b]shortcuts![/b] Simple as that, but definitely useful (especially for experienced players). For example, you can use your mouse scroll to change the direction of tokens before placing them. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44366745/38891aef90edc921bfd8827245a8dc07505ea2fe.gif[/img] You can minimize the box with shortcut tooltips if you memorized them all. ;) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44366745/644dcd2011022b16001ca67f4d7e749631429671.gif[/img] That's all for today, but be ready for a new UI/UX devlog really soon. ;) Best regards, Baked Games Team [url=https://discord.gg/DCwnjCX9AF][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33433455/c104527459c290c25f34ca328e6a009dbc6c9554.png[/img][/url] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33433455/53670fdd5abae587a1ba53a731bf38077af64a2c.png[/img]
