New hUb UI

nice. looks a bit more professional. still has a very underground feeling to it that might not suit everyone.

I kinda liked the one-click-approach of the previous design. make the games lines or some big part of it clickable for play and update like before (preferably a big nice play/update button to the left of the title/description) and have some nice smaller buttons with icons for homepage and uninstall somewhere else on the line. this way you combine the status and action button in a nice way.

well thats the first impressions.

btw scrollwheel-support is a must the more games you get. and you can't click the non-bar part of the scrollbar to take big steps.

minor details at the moment though.

hey.. this is my first post here Have been enjoing your games for some time now

To comment on the HUB, I acually liked the old one much better.
It might be me who get used to stuff very quickly, and dont like changes, but the size of the old hub made it more managable. I found it more intuitive that whenever I clicked the game I wanted to play, info on that specific game came up (I.e it needed an update, it was ready to play etc.)

Also, the small icons, really made it easy to manage the game, especially for my son who is 5 years old, and cannot read yet He does not know where to click anymore?

Hey Tabu and welcome to the forums! I think I have seen you on the highscores

I agree that the size of the "old" hUb is "better" for some users and as Daniel said we will probably bring it back as an alternative view.

We'll keep refining it!

Thanx!

Try it!

Making the slim version even slimmer would be cool.. however, removing all functionallity I dont think is a good idea.. this would force people to switch between the two.. slimmer hUb is a good idea.. but I would make it so that on each game, you could "go advanced" and that slim part would extend and have the fuctionality needed. In the new hUb im not especially attracted to the play/install/homepage buttons beeing at the top for all games.. having them individually with each game, is in my oppinion better? So slim version with a "dropdown" on each game with advanced stuff would be my preference

On a sidenote, my son has now gotten used to the new hUb and can again start Ufo Pilot 2 without daddys help

yea.. maybe even make another list for games that are not installed? Kinda like a "store" button, I dont see it nessecary now.. but when you guys have created 500 diffrent cool games... it might be a bit crowded

Another thing I noticed is how the new hUb's default size cuts of the last game in the list.. and it does not remember when I resize it. It would be cool if it remembered where I placed it, and what size I wanted it in.

About my son... I has taken many years of hard pratice... Sentenses like: "No dinner before you have played your games!" and " No!!.. you cant go to bed before you completed that level!" really helps.. that, and I think that sitting on my lab and playing together, really rocks his world (And mine too acually) currently we are playing Transport Tycoon Delux LocoMania, Zoo Tycoon, Astro Creeps and Ufo Pilot 2.. all great games for kids (Well acually.. the running burning men in Ufo Pilot 2 is a bit much.. but lets just say he now has a healthy respect for fire.. and dont want his pants to chatch fire )

[quote="johno"]Great to hear you like the games! I am currently working on a big update for UfoPilot 2, which will include new modes of play.[/quote]
That is great news, I love that game!
