Interface solution is found already

u make it sound ez dovakin :p, but its not
1 beautiful interface is all we need imo. Ofc ur idea could be fun, but it would be so much work oO

What did I tell you about "SMS slang"?
Please rewrite your message in correct and complete English, thanks.
This is already the second warning to you regarding this and there won't be another one.

1 beautiful interface is all we need

You do understand that something being beautiful is a personal opinion?
Interfaces you find beautiful might be more ugly to others.

So giving everyone ("we") a beautiful interface won't be possible because of everyones taste in design.
Apart from that, I feel that there are more important things that Nadeo should be worrying about than the gameinterface.

Guys, why can't you stick to the topic and stop always adding only silly childish comments?

I realize that TheM and you are 100% right. Some hate the color green, others love it.
The same goes for maps. The perfect map nor the perfect UI will never exist...

But when you study design @ school/university you'll see that there are some guidelines, rules & conventions. That's just common sense...
f.e. :
- Some colors just dont match while others do. ( scientifically proven )
- The design spiral = natural beauty
- etc

Some of these guidelines & rules are better in the suggested designs, those are facts. Wether you think it's more beautiful or not is subjective/personal and that's your opinion, which I respect very much.

I'm also not talking for the entire community, but as you know I'm an active ShootMania player + I'm active here on the forums & I think the general feeling about the design is rather negative.
Ofc you will always find people who like it. The question is: Do those who like it get outnumbered by those who dislike it? As far as I've seen the answer is "yes".

Also I invited 10 of my friends to play this game, mainly during the "free Elite demo" and they all said that their first impression was off-putting because of the average design while the gameplay is good.
So that's what I'm trying to share here. Ofc it's not top-priority,but after so much complaints you need to accept that maybe it should be improved rather sooner than later.

NADEO works how they want, but they confirmed they dont have a designer , nor do they design before they start coding. It's no wonder that there is room for improvement.
I'm not going to speak for you, but deep inside I think you know that the design should be better regardless of the priority. I dont know if you have played any other games recently, but 9/10 they have a better design. ( again this is my personal opinion, I know )

Sorry for the long post. Was trying to explain properly what I mean^^ before I get misunderstood again.



Im trying to weigh my words carefully and im trying to not step on anyone's toes. Ive said loads of positive things about the current design too, so dont forget that. Its really already 100x better than before. Its not all negative... So please dont misunderstand me...
Also I'm a designer so sometimes I'm very passionate about this. I love how some designers suggested their own designs here on the forums. It a sign of help & its also a sign of the fact that they care enough about this game to spend hours & hours on a design and thats a nice achievement by NADEO
The proposed designs wont ever make the cut, but maybe it can be inspirational for NADEO and that's already awesome & enough, for me.

Thanks for the careful way you are posting here ^^
I feel that over the whole line, improvements are possible for ManiaPlanet, so also for the design.

Like I've said in the other topic about the interface:

I think you all are making yourself excited about this whole possible interface, while I haven't seen any Nadeo employee saying that they are planning/going to change the interface. Of course, it's interesting to see what everyone can make as possible "nicer" interfaces, but don't get yourself overexcited about this.

Just a general tip...

At the moment (as you say) the interface is way better than we had before. I'm sure that it will be improved even more if Nadeo sees it as a priority. Though, I feel that they by know what the general feeling in the community is and will determine if it's a priority for them and we will have to live with what they choose.
