Hi again,
As my first suggestion has been well seen, ill try and make a 2nd one
Im sure u are working in more deep and complex improvements for the game, but...what about making a new , basic, wooden based theme for port interface? Also some iron or whatever borders for buttons would be great...
When ppl buy the game, first thing they see is those blue-gray menus, which are a bit too much simple, and first impressions are pretty important.
Just to give an example...when i was convincing my brother to buy the game (he ended up buying it), first thing he said when i first showed it to him was:
Oh come on , i'd make that ui in few hours...and i think he wasnt rlly wrong...
I guess u could invest 1 dev evening work time and prolly get that basic wooden themed interface done...
And understand this is not a complain, im sure u are planning to do this, but it has been too much time already with the same UI, and i think that little effort would be worthy, both for the in-game feeling and player numbers.
We dont need the final UI yet, but a more themed one.
Thank you !
