Progress Report, August 2012

Posted by

Over the last couple of weeks, I've mostly completed porting the screens to portrait mode, and I think the results look generally pretty good. It also generally makes the game easier to use with the phone in one hand, which I hope will be somewhat of a plus.

Anyway, here's a couple of screenshots of what it looks like in portrait mode:

Starfield view

This is the (now-familiar, I'm sure) Starfield view. A nice background on the lower pane makes it look much more "polished" than the plain grey we had last time.

List of colonies

When you click on "Empire" from the starfield view, it switches to this screen where you can see all your colonies and whatnot. Again, nothing we haven't seen before, but now in portrait mode (and also a separate Activity, rather than just a popup dialog).

Solarsystem view

Here we have again the familiar solar system view.

Buildings

Clicking on the "Build" button brings up this screen where you can see all of your buildings, upgrade and build new ones. As well as clicking on "Ships" to build new ships and "Queue" to see your current build queue for that colony.
