All the Small Things

Now, I'd have to disagree with calling the button system "tedious". That would be a word I'd use to describe the new layout, if anything. The old layout was efficient and simple, whereas with the new system everything is all scattered over the place. Races, classes, and preps are all jumbled together with little organization. While I understand the direction of immersion that you're coming from, in terms of usability I've found the new layout a decisive step backwards.

Anyways, don't let that negative feedback get to you. Keep up the good work and see what you can come up with.

Will have to wait and see. Sidebar use sounds good.

Yeah, it's easy to see how this is tricky from a design aspect. On the one hand the old buttons were clear and efficient...but at the same time they completely obscured the detailed kingdom artwork to the point that the art served no real purpose. FWIW the old buttons took a modicum of time to get used to; my guess is that once they're done highlighting and outlining the buildings and races, the old system won't feel as rewarding.

I am glad to see the sidebar get an update. Maybe a "View Quests" button?
