Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION:
The game currently shows a die being rolled,
Then communicates the impact as a message,
Then has you click a button to advance.
If there was an effect, it shows that effect in the button as icons.
ISSUES:
The player, however…
- May not be able to see both the track and the message at the same time (context is lost),
(And if the track is visible, it's quite small)
- Player may not have a good sense of what the planetary effect actually does in the game
POSSIBLE APPROACH:
To make this all a bit more obvious:
- the die is rolled
- we then see the token advance on a track shown near the die and on the sidebar
- the tipping point effect is communicated if a tipping point space is reached (spell it out more)
- a button is presented for the player to continue and apply the effect.
When the player clicks the button
- the player then sees the effects happen in the sidebar
This is in keeping with the pattern of say what happened, user acknowledges, and then the game shows it happen.
See (very rough) sketch below.
