User interface improvements:
Ways to make information easier to gauge for profitability
Stardock Forums
To the dev team.
My brain doesn't like numbers, it likes colors and graphs and loading bars.
What I am referring to of course is the information on the left of my screen. I like how the buildings are next to their corresponding resources. I am a little worried that unless there is a difference in the amount of digits, 10 looks no different to 70 and 100 no different to 700. That being a very specific example, I'm sure many people would find it difficult to gauge whether a particular resource was of immediate benefit to buy or sell.
If there were graphical indicators as to a resource's current stock/value, I would find it much easier to decide what to do. At the moment, although the numbers are easy to read, I'm not making much sense of them even though I consider myself mathematically minded.
people discard games like wrapping paper these days and I think these improvements would decrease the learning curve and increase the enjoyability of the game. unless white text mathematical and accounting mastery is a necessary attribute of your intended audience.
Kind regards,
A fellow dev.
