It is time to describe a game design that I was working on in last days. It will be fun to observe what will change. I will start with the story. So here it is...
Story tasting
There was a lonely planet in deep universe occupied by a civilization about 500 000 people. Their technology level was comparable with medieval times on Earth. They were living in peace for last 50 years until something happened. Continue reading
I didn't give up as I wrote in previous article so I am here again with fresh news about the development. Well I think about my first goal to make a strategy game with isometric view which should be the most important thing to focus.

I really hated it, it was good as working concept but if I want to manage a collection it was useless. It was designed for adding items one by one, so for adding 30 items you have to click 30 times to add button and also I don't like the design. You may say that the design is not so important and you may be right but I am the person who don't like using apps with bad GUI even that they are functional very well. So I've decided to redesign the whole tool. The result is shown on the next image. Continue reading
