September update: the new mining interface
Published September 27, 2015
Here is the September developer log. This time I'm showing off the development of the mining interface over several versions. Even if the current interface version seems to be a logical way to approach the interface, lot of constraints and limitations often ensure, that you need lot of design attempts until you come up with a suitable solution.
The real challenge in designing the mining interface in Gnoblins was the dungeon building system. Most dungeon building games are grid based which makes dungeon expansion a lot easier than the room-based dungeon expansion approach used in Gnoblins.
