Just don't leave the players you have now in the dust :P<br /><br />Also, when do you think we can get the steam beta?

The ADOM community is mind-blowingly awesome at suggesting great new content, balance optimization, refining details of monsters, items, stories, etc. (you all really are the best and most of what ADOM has achieved has to be credited to its awesome community) but if we look at the user interface... well, it's optimized for high end players but it's an apocalyptic mess for most new players. You just need to sit for an hour or two next to a normal gamer trying to make sense of ADOM and you will become very humble if you think that the ADOM UI is great (or good... or decent). It's not for new players.<br /><br />Someone remarked if ADOM should target players that fail to understand the UI - and I would say yes, because otherwise it is doomed to die in a niche. <br /><br />And for me ADOM has too much potential to die in a niche as I truly believe that the UI can be greatly improved. Sadly the established community (and myself either) so far haven't been very good at making ADOM more accessible.<br /><br />That's what I'm willing to change. And hopefully we will be successful.<br /><br />I'm now back to sharpening my knives in order to slaughter some perceived holy cows and age old sins ;-)The Creatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906302439863860854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-44719269297121508162017-10-14T18:57:23.423+02:002017-10-14T18:57:23.423+02:00User experience User experience Andrew Grosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008460860714464962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-17833899498533054742017-10-14T18:48:10.761+02:002017-10-14T18:48:10.761+02:00this might be stupid question, but what is UX?this might be stupid question, but what is UX?AK-92https://www.blogger.com/profile/17128152108754906764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-61657773748194624182017-10-14T18:07:18.327+02:002017-10-14T18:07:18.327+02:00Ps I look forward to all the goodies you have comi...Ps I look forward to all the goodies you have coming for us.

I loved the game because it had all kinds of things to do and be aware of ( like hunger, corruptions, difficulty, secret doors). It gave ADOM its uniqueness, and it's why I love it.<br /><br />A lot of the ideas from the forums look great, as I think what scares a lot of players at first is all the commands and things you can do in the game. That is a good thing to make it easier that I think old and new players can appreciate.

If we finally get this huge 2.3.5 release out we‘ll be able to pick up much more regular releases.
