Wax On, Wax Off

Well, as you may have noticed the new site is up and running (thanks Ben).  So that means we can start populating it with precious information regarding our projects.

Anyway, we’re still working hard on Root Access and we’re very close to wrapping up the alpha, just implementing the last couple of features and then it’s onto testing.  We’re also setting up supporting stuff for Root Access, such as bug trackers for our alpha users, as well as ‘official’ game information on this site.  We’ve had a Twitter account that we’ve been tweeting to during the development of RA (link to it is on the footer navigation at the bottom of this page), so there’s some interesting stuff on there if you wish to follow us.  There will also be a Facebook page that will be launched too, once we get the ‘official’ game info up.

The last couple of features that need to be implemented into RA is the ability to attach a file to a message and send it to another character/player.  Once this is done we’ll be able to write some Steal-type missions where the player is required to download some data from a target server and then message the file back to their employer.  We’ve already got quite a few Delete-type missions, in which you’re just required to gain access to a server and delete data… but remember to clean up your logs or you’ll get caught!

Interfacing with UI #4 – Coherent UI

February 5th, 2016

This is part of a series of posts revolving around user interface design and development, the introduction and links to the other posts can be found here. Last I wrote about user interfaces I discussed the new Unity UI system and I wrote about our process of porting from Daikon Forge to it. That was a year and a half ago and a lot has changed since then. To keep things interesting we decided to move from Unity UI (yet another move?!) to Coherent UI and I’ll explain why we did it. Why Move… Again?!... (read more)
