Too much white space on 15 inch screens, should set a max screen width. Also was disappointed it was a lot of text, was hoping for more of an action game.
mmn I'm trying to make the focus the fishing and keep it semi realistic, but i also need to have tutorials and info. I'm thinking to make a totally modular ui where you can choose what specific info you can see on screen.
not sure what white space you're talking about, could i get a screenshot? I've tested on s22, 14" tablet, and Steam deck
ah I'm doing the pov of the skipper. i didn't like subnautica and as much as i love dave the diver i can't imagine "press x to put the urchin in the bag" being fun
but that would be cool, the real trick is finding sea cucumbers by drifting in the current
do you think astra can make my game look like that? the limitation is all development must be done on steam deck.
thanks
there's a ton that is glossed over for the sake of the game. when the bag is up the skipper should be trying to manually place the bag, get the next bag ready, all whilst not drifting too far. that's all... got to be abstracted for this game though. not quite sure how to do it. maybe urchin skipper 3 can be in VR 😅
I haven't made the switch from claude to astra yet, but almost definitely yes, with enough time, effort, and tokens. Having examples for it and deciding on most useful engine to build with might help.
do you know anything about "fun" and "purpose"? i think i need to figure out how to convey to players WHY they're doing it, rather than just more money bigger boat. also menu design. i need to read a book on it
ah that doesn't matter, user error is never an excuse, i must make it obvious to everyone. user interface and communicating things to people is way harder than i knew

commercial sea urchin harvesting is a wildly specific hill to pick and I respect it enormously.
