More UI, it never ends

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Darius

So I haven’t posted daily updates, because it’s all been behind the scenes bug fixing. Incredibly boring, but I should have realized that that’s what a lot of it would be. I don’t think anyone wants to read updates like: … Continue reading →

More UI Work

Posted on February 14, 2015 by Darius

More of the UI stuff. I redesigned the ship shop interface, I’m still working on it, but I’m thinking it’s going to be a massive improvement. What once took four or five submenus is going to all be taken care … Continue reading →

It’s take a fair amount of work for very little to show. I’ve been learning the new version of NGUI, a UI package for Unity3D. I’ve also been restructuring my old UI code. So here’s what little I have to … Continue reading →
