UI Rework
This week, I’m going to write about the two core components of the game UI. The navigation lights and the child status panel. The navigation lights were added because the feedback from the play testing showed that people were getting lost a lot and needed an easier way to navigate the map. The child status panel was added because the old one was long due for a revamp.
So, to start with, the child status panel. This is what the old […]

Puzzle game Cryptogram uses a real bookshelf to open secret doors
