SHF 3 v0.16a - UI and usability
Added 2018-04-12 05:19:31 +0000 UTCI hate doing UI elements. It's the most boring part of making a game, but if you suck at it then it makes the game suck too >.<
This is purely a menus/buttons update. Things are rearranged. Buttons look more like buttons, settings are more clearly labeled, and hopefully it's way more obvious what everything on the screen means and does. Woo, usability!
Now there's a big panel to show contextual information, and the characters are closer together. I needed both of these things to happen to make way for a couple of larger and sexier features in the works.
There might be a bit of visual clutter. That'll smooth out as I iterate. Feedback always helps this along :3
Tier 2 patrons can try it here!
Changelog
- Visual overhaul of most UI elements (WIP)
- Most buttons and meters are now clearly labeled
- A panel on the right side contains the currently selected toy's settings in a more readable format
- The meters for pleasure, pain, etc are now in a panel next to the character instead of behind them
- Lots of minor changes to provide more visual feedback
What's next?
Lots of things! The short-term features I want are:
More characters and body types, more expressions and wiggling, more accessories, and fluids. Also character-specific sets of expressions and behaviors.
Also a public release. Maybe it'll be this version! :D
And comic stuff. Gotta get back on top of that >.<
I'm not very social but I do see all the comments you guys post. Thank you! <3 <3 <3

It's not rude! I'll probably be starting on the next update in May. I'll make sure to post an update when I do.

2018-04-14 23:54:00 +0000 UTCYep, I'm working on adding more species! I need to break through a couple of technical challenges first, but that's the plan!

2018-04-14 23:53:38 +0000 UTCDo you know if you'll add a hide feature for the UI? That will be a neat feature if it is not implemented yet.

2018-04-13 17:05:10 +0000 UTCPlans for new body types and characters!? Does that mean griffon, diamond dog, dragon or sphinx characters could be added down the line? I really hope it does.
