User Interface Refinements in Work

[Samhayne]

We want to follow up with you about the recent User Interface changes made to Pocket Legends. If you're late to the party, you can read about the changes from last Friday's Patch Notes: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?37687

We received a lot of great feedback from users about refinements they would like to see made to the User Interface. Below is a partial list of some of the refinements that will be going into Pocket Legends in an upcoming patch:

Adding several options to the options menu.
• “Show Emotes on HUD” – this restores the old, always visible emote button
• “Show Quest Helper” – turning this off removes the checkmark button and quest helper panel.
• “Toggle Quickchat” – setting this option moves the quickchat button back to the old location at the bottom of the screen.
• “Show Potions in Towne” – restores the red and blue potion icons in Towne.

Other changes:
• Virtual joystick moved down on iPad. This pretty much matches the location for Android tablets.
• Exit Level and Sector Map buttons switched places.

There are other changes, but we wanted to highlight the above to let you know that we were working on making the User Interface better.

Awesome. I really like the path you guys are taking with this, it does look so much better than the old one, the overlay approach looks amazing on my brand new Eee Pad Transformer (<- Shameless bragging about new tablet).

While this may be a bit out of subject I was wondering if it would ever be possible to map tablet keyboard keys to PL so, for example, we could use the arrow keys to move or hit P for a health potion... type stuff. I mean, not expecting something like this on short time frame, I was just wondering if that is something STS had considered.

Keyboard mapping will likely be included in the web / PC version of the game.

S'long as the chat downscroll is fixed I'll be a happy camper

Awesome, thanks devs for always striving for a great game. With all the patches and new ideas trying to make it better. The toggle quickchat should fix my issue having to use shortcuts on my EVO after the new ui

[JaytB]

Woot! The iPad joystick will move down! Only that already makes me a happy man

I hope something about the scroll buttons, in the text log window, is in the works too.

Anyway, great to hear you guys keep listening to the community. Looking forward to this update!

[Kakatoa91]

Great news indeed.

Keep on the good work guys!

[saool]

Awesome! I enjoy the new UI, my only compliant was the emotes lol

[superglut2]

[Hankomachos]

THANK YOU for deciding to put emotes back to their original place! *blows kiss*

This may be completely irrelevant to this topic, Sam, but will the PC version connect to the same servers and everyone still play together?

Btw, thanks for the update again. It all seems very fair, imo. I would thank the OP but I reached my limit for 24 hours? :P

I had to read this a couple times to fully understand the awesomeness of this update. Now all we have to do is bring back the old FH with its awesome quests formula and make the current on a side area incase someone misses it. I think it should happen because it is deep with story and had a cool place to hang out in the zombie castle.
I did manage to find a small bug. When you tap on the bar and the HUD comes up with the options, the virtual analog is showing through the "exit level" button. Thank you sooo much, Sam!

Yes, it will be =)

[Silentarrow]

Thank you!

[bronislav84]

Yes! Thank you Sam! You WERE listening about the quick chat position. This will be for SL too right? Considering you wrote Sector Map and not World Map in the PL section, I can only hope so.

[Cobraguy]

Hopefully without asking for too much we get a bigger health and mana bar.
Thanks for listening to your players, this is why i will continue to play for a long time to come, because of the great customer suppprt you guys have.
