Project Akar : UI Enhancement Developement Thread

[xoxide 377]

@chappers right now everyone has been hap hazardly just throwing stuff in places and hoping people find them.. the idea is that the interface or ROOT of the game experience starts at the menu or AKAR .

 

By Reinvesting time into the ROOT experience of the game you add peoples mods from old locations into the new locations.

 

MOST do not need changes to the mods at all as a result some need to just have the mods separated into parts.

 

For instance some of my mods will be changed to just have a MENU.package and a MOD.package (not exact but you get the idea) on the main page.  This would then result in people being able to call the mod out to use it where and how needed.

 

Most games and mods have taken the approach of changing the interface YEARS after mods have been out we are trying to be proactive knowing that the user experience starts at the ROOT and beginning of the modding experience so it will always make and have a home for any addition rather than having to figure out where things to after the fact.

 

This also means you could have multiple Akar's based on experience and how the packages are broken up.

 

Some people may only use 2 mods there for having mods loaded in the menu that are pointless would not make sense.

 

Versions that you see now will be more ALL INCLUSIVE but are not meant to be that way longer term depending on what people find as standard or expanded menu's. This is again about the community that uses the mod and Akar is about the experience of the user not the MODS themselves

 

IF we figured out a way to put the menu on the LEFT Wall for instance it could then be down or a TOP Down menu or a RIGHT Menu Akar variants could then give you more personality more personalized touches and as a result allow the ROOT of the game and the Root Experience to become more individual

 

 

AKAR = Root = User = Beginning and in the end comes full circle

Now you understand why it takes time, due to the fact Avalon has 500+ buildings in multiple categories.

WOW. All of this custom content is going to make my faint... Out of my chair.

 

To yayie, you might want to fix that last "Category Name" before release. I have no words for how much more streamlined this version of All RCI Plops with Project Akar is. Just excellent.

 

EDIT: Oh, thanks for uploading, Yayie! THIS GUNNA BE GOOOD.

On the bottom left of the screenshot, there is a rectangular box that says "Category Name". It's by the arrow. It's a bit silly
