Week Nine

Hello everyone! Welcome to our week nine post. Hope everyone has a great Spring Week!

This week is the GDC week, and it is also the last week before halves. Before spring break, we have done several playtests with our new version game, and we decided to make changes with our UI design.

Our new version UI shows appliance upgrade and habit change details on the main screen. Energy bar on the top right corner shows the total energy used for the whole house while the comfort bar shows the current happiness for the house.

For each item, we add three meters to upgrade and habit change cards, which show the total energy the item consume, how much comfort will be affect and how much money will be spend to upgrade the appliance.

We also plan to replace our current upgrade and habit cards with model thumbnails, which will make the choices more intuitive and easier for players.
