The updated UI project has been moving forward nicely and I've started to solicit feedback from a few folks on some of the general patterns and design elements as we continue to work through adding functionality.

We've now got pretty much all netting functionality (build, cash, explore, tech, both markets, gov change etc) hooked up in a workable state. It's been fun to play turns on the new UI -- the mobile experience is said to be a stark improvement over the current mobile UI.

I've also got Google account auth hooked up and will be working on Facebook and Twitter auth integrations as well so that it's one less barrier to entry for new players (and much easier for all of our current players to log in).

Over the next little while, we'll look at completing functionality so that the new look and feel has feature parity with the current game site and do a wider beta with more users.

I'll post some more screenshots later on, but I figured it had been a while since I posted anything and there might be some curiosity.

We're all looking forward to delivering a much better gaming experience in EE and bringing the UI out of 1995 and into 2018!

Cheers,
Dave

congrats! Can't wait to see some screenshots.

Awesome pang :)


Sounds good let's hope this results in some extra players :)

Hurrah!

No more iFrames! HA JK

pics or it didn't happen

Like he said it's a work in progress pics will prob be when it is more polished!

No more html tables!

This post is a teaser!

^ Indeed it is.

as long as we still have the option to play under the current UI I hope this goes along quite well specifically for mobile use but for desktop I prefer the current standard as I don't want to think how chrome will react with 72 tabs open under new GUI.

it'll react poorly.

Yeah, i'd say making the current UI available is required.

72 tabs?! What? But why?!

I'm also curious about the use case for 72 tabs

We'll opt people into the new UI by default but I don't think we're planning to sunset the old stuff either. But I'm way more likely to develop new and interesting things on the new UI's ecosystem than the old one :p

What about setting Spy on SPY ? That is to say you, click on Spy what is the first thing your going to do on Spy? Why I have to waste time hitting a drop down menu to go Spy sucks. Its a ox-moron set up right now.

That sort of this is being addressed with the updated UI :)

Nice!

72 different p0rnvideos.

for when you are a breaker in war, you can have your tabs set to drop down with each calculated break and have several tabs in between for readiness, and then a few more at the end for finishing target....or I would assume

valid point this! first world problems right here!!

or checkbox what op performs.

I dont know what kind of potato you have for a computer but mine has 16gb ddr4 ram, she can handle it. Hold my beer ill open 100.

or dont use chrome, which creates a new process per tab.

pics or it didnt happen

If you have never used 72 tabs or more and played FFA you are doing it all wrong

16 breakers, 16 mid breaks, 16 readiness, 16 finish then have 8-16 more tabs with chems set just incase.

will it mess up my irc highlights?

developer's console.log > 16 tabs. :P

dp runs 16*4-16 countries?

yup

You are truly a sick individual.

^^ seems like a valid use case for FFA to me!

power users FTW!

Any eta

Ttt

anything new on this???

hardly since qz is as busy as before.

actually, I've got most of the game functions ported over -- still need to do spy + war pages as the API is not complete yet.

also need to do clans and country search (which needs to be beefed up)

but functionally, it's much closer than folks probably realize. picking away at it but been busy

I've been playing all-x's on it for the last few months pretty well

no rush.

Screen shots?

You are the player not cool enough apparently to have gotten the link to use it. Because most have. #feelsbadman

😛 #touche

Cant wait till this game is brought into 2018!
