Quick Request: Buildings List
Quick Request: Buildings List
Hi,
In preparation for the 0.3 release there are some other smaller things (in time to code, not in importance) that need to be implemented.
We need an artist to provide a quick mockup for listing the buildings that are currently constructed on a planet. I'm imagining this list will be displayed when you click on a planet. It may also be useful to have an indicator on a planet that lets you know that there are one or more planets currently constructed.
This is just a temporary screen for 0.3. It *will* be changed in later releases so we just need something quick as a guide to build off.
Thanks again

From the production screen design thread, there is my suggest of listing the buidlings as smaller boxes underneath planet boxes on the sidepanel

There's also Obiwan's mockup on that thread, which (I think?) did essentially the same thing, though was less developed:

IMO putting the list (only) on a separate screen you have to click more to get to would be too inconvenient.
I'm aware there's vertical space concerns on the sidepanel, hence the suggestion to have a show/hide buildings button, amongst others, on a button bar above the scrollable list.

Yeah, but that doesn't really answer my questions.utilae wrote:I think we aren't planning on having many buildings, except those that are built in small numbers, eg ship yards will not be on every planet but strategic ones.
Why have them been (apparently) dropped from 0.3?
What's the new plan for buildings?

I figured putting them on the sidepanel would be good, since there are supposed to be fairly few of them and they're supposed to be fairly important...eleazar wrote:So we still need an interface to show buildings.
