The user interface of an MMORPG is important because it allows players to access the features. To make this as intuitive and engaging as possible, the developers of the MMORPG Crowfall will completely overhaul it soon.
Only a few MMORPGs manage to get by with a minimal UI. Often, windows and bars cover almost the entire screen. It’s essential for an online game to have a good UI that offers all the features the player needs without the so-called “screen clutter,” meaning too many necessary interface elements crowding the screen.
Therefore, the developers of the MMORPG Crowfall are putting a lot of effort into creating a good UI.
The UI is being completely overhauled
Billy Garretsen, responsible for programming the UI at Artcraft Studios, explains that with the new interface, they also want to create a unique look that clearly indicates it is Crowfall.
This look was developed by the team for the Kickstarter campaign, but it was lost over time. Now it is set to make its way back into the game, starting with the main menu, which will be bright white. However, the in-game interface elements will have a dark touch and be very simplistic.
Changes go live in 2017
The tooltips will also be revamped to make them more readable. Additionally, there will be more information when hovering over items or characters, and the interface through which you create your Eternal Kingdom will also experience a redesign, just like the skill tree and many other elements.
The changes will go live for Crowfall this year as the developers continue to work on integrating all other game elements into the PvP-focused MMO and gradually move towards a beta.
