(mostly) Visual changes to Beasts
Opened this issue · 4 comments
In the beginning I had trouble figuring out which buttons belong to which beast (besides the whale).
The ship and the kraken card are both rather dark and the symbols representing them in the buttons are hard to map on the cards in my head.
I'd suggest making them brighter and making the symbols on the buttons look closer to the pictures.
Alternatively, having a single button for beasts and then picking the beast (if more than 1 is available) like you would pick the 2 pirates (if more than 2 are available) might make it easier to figure the game out.
It would also be possible to add a page to "?" to explain haw the buttons are mapped to the cards.
BTW, sorry about the state of the original post. Mobile typing...
This especially applies, when having a dim screen and turning down the blue light as I tend to do in the evenings/morning when listening to a podcast and often playing a great casual game like this one.
Hey, this is very valuable feedback, thanks !
I will see how to approach the issue with the buttons, but giving more contrasts to the fregate (that's how I call it in the code) and kraken card is definitely something I'll do. Before release both cards were even darker than they are currently, and when I updated them to their current state they were so much lighter compared to before, I pretty much got blind-sided regarding how objectively dark they actually are.
Could you tell me if when you're screen is dim you have trouble discerning the numbered cards colors ?
Thanks for calling the game great =).
Hi, The only colour that can be kinda hard to see is the very light grey/blue. The dark blue symbol can also look pretty similar to the light blue symbol.
Not rly an issue cuz u can differentiate them by one of them being hard to see.
It might be nice to change one symbol or switch with the red symbol. I can't rly think of a way to change the colours without respecting colour blindness.
I don't think this is very important. I just got used to it.
which beast (besides the whale).
The ship and the kraken card
The term I remember is when a beast card is permanently moved with two pirate cards to one of the three open spots at the upper left of the playing area, it is said to be "shipped" and the pirates are called "pards" ("pardners" etc.)
"I need two pards to ship that beast!"
