Here is the newest version (still WIP) of Pollinarium's UI. Inspired by Victorian posters and seed packages (and some Portuguese azulejos).

You can take a look here: store.steampowered.com/app/3833630/...

Here is the first coloured version of the mockup for the new UI for Pollinarium!! With pre-industrial influences and using tiles instead of cards.

Some stuff needs to be ironed out: text contrast, new colour buttons, and the previous card plant icons.

(4/4) Prototype

After grouping and choosing the main themes of the screens, I mock them up in Figma. The ones I'm sharing here and mi-fi as they don't have the final UI style but I can start playing with colours.

(3/4) Sketch and Crazy 8

After choosing 2 or 3 (always more than 1 to improve decision quality but no more than 3), I sketch multiple possible using a technique called "Crazy 8". 8 sketches 1 minute each, no time for critiques.

(2/4) Mechanic shortlisting

I write down the experience I want to influence in Whimsical. I come up with the mechanics that can impact it. Then I define what are the main risks of each, and which one is closer to deliver that experience

I'm working on the concept of "farmers" for Pollinarium. They modify the rules of the run.

Whenever I have a new idea I do this in three steps after the idea is seeded 🧵(1/4)

#gamedev #indiedev

Been playing with a new UI style for Pollinarium, drawing inspiration from Victorian seed packs.

(The banner might’ve time-traveled a few extra centuries, though)

There won’t be any shaking before the main menu loads, and on the main menu you can modify the settings :)!

Yes! This will be added into our accessibility settings!

Two updates for Pollinarium!

Improving visual cues: now it’s easier to see how synergies affect nearby plants at a glance!

Gardener (still on the drawing board): choose the Planner, Polliculturist, or the Forager which will tweak the rules of your run!

Nice to Yeet You trova un publisher: sarà The CoLab a portare il caotico fighter sul mercato Il picchiaduro fisico e minimalista di Empty Bottle promette partite rapide, imprevedibili e ad alto tasso di “yeet”.

Apparently my video got featured in an article which is pretty sick XD
Well done @tricko.bsky.social on the colab!

Been experimenting with card styles for Pollinarium! I'm leaning towards a retro Victorian style found on seed packages.

I mocked up 6 different options to test style, layout, hierarchy, and readability.

I’ve been tweaking the demo layouts for Pollinarium, they’re now landscape instead of portrait!

The goal is to make better use of the PC screen space :)!
