Hi there, this is Alex, I’m working on the post-compo version of my game, “I don’t feel like shooting right now!”. If you haven’t heard about it yet, \u00a0you may\u00a0give it a try here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the moment I am trying to improve the UI feedback, but this\u00a0appeared to be a hard task. I don’t exaclty know how to tell the\u00a0player what each button does. So I created 4 versions of UI. They differ in what happens when the player hovers the mouse cursor over a button.<\/p>\n

Which variant\u00a0seems most intuitive to you?<\/p>\n

Variant 1<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– The default one. There is text under each button,\u00a0describing how each button affects emotions. Nothing else.<\/p>\n

Variant 2<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– Is still a bit glitchy but you can get the idea.<\/p>\n

\"ui2\"<\/p>\n

Variant 3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ui3\"<\/p>\n

Variant 4<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"ui4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Variant 4a<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– It is slightly different from the the v4.<\/p>\n
