invalid Tanki NEEDS new UI Designers & Developers

[pepsi_tank2 0]

Below are a few of my opinions as a Designer/Developer who's had an account since the original game graphics. 

 

-Why is the 'premium' text in the top left corner of the game lobby in lowercase AND BOLD? Makes no sense. If you don't want it to be overly noticeable you lessen the font weight, not keep it bold and remove the capitalization on the letter. This is incorrect and looks extremely ODD and BAD.

-Why are all the transitions between parts of the game so disgusting looking? It's literally sooooo bad. Hurts your eyes type bad design.

-Why doesn't the shaft aim line even line up with where shaft is aiming? That's gotta be a bug.

 

This game is programmed very poorly, coming from a programmer. It's not even enjoyable to use or even look at the interface. And the interface just isn't very functional either.

 

Who hired these people? That's my question. Like I logged on and just started facepalming at EVERY DESIGN CHOICE AND UX CHOICE. ~90% of them are bad. Pressing 'Z' or 'ESC' doesn't even work 70% of the time.

 

Game looks so unprofessional and ugly and is glitchy on top of that. I wonder why Tanki has half the players it did 2 years ago. All that stuff isn't helping.

 

I could literally fix these issues myself if I worked there. It's so simple. Why hasn't it been done?

In your whole Topic, only the small beginning portion of the lines suggest something, rest is either pointing existing bugs or lodging complaints. But this isn't the topic for complaints, kindly redirect them to the Complaint Book section of the forum.

Kindly keep this section strictly for the Ideas that you think can help in improvement of the game.

What's your opinion do you see the Flash interface is better than the current one?

[EagleChappie 581]

first of all: tanki in its current state we can say that it is being reworked, everything it is doing now is not a final phase, as was said after the elimination of flash, everything would be incorporated little by little. With the interface, as EVERYONE knows, a new one is being made, better elaborated and with corrected errors. Not all of us are perfect to do something right the first time, so what is your reason for entering the game and starting to criticize everything without having played it? If you really want to see this game progress, give ideas, suggestions instead of negative comments. And the truth is, I do not believe at all that you are a developer / designer, if not, you would know all the effort behind a game and you would not be criticizing every game that you enter

Flash interface gives me a more battle and tanki vibe. The green bars, buttons that looks like they pop out, everything. That's one big thing I don't like about html. Every button is so flat.

La interfaz flash me da una vibra más de batalla y tanki. Las barras verdes, los botones que parecen salirse, todo. Esa es una gran cosa que no me gusta de html. Cada botón es tan plano.

Currently it is difficult to find a game with that look, so broken, old (due to the battles or theme of the game of tanks or war), now they go more for the modern and possibly futuristic theme.

Yeah, but it doesn't fit a tank game, you know. Everything is so clean, it's like plastic vs stone. Which gives you more tank vibes?

 

The old EN newspaper had a banner that looks like Stone.  That makes me thinks of tanks, battle, and other rough rough stuff.

What I meant by my comment is flash interface better in usability? Not only the aesthetics.

Yeah, probably is. I mean, for one thing you can just press a button and information about other tanks pop up. I don't notice this, but they say physics are better there.

What do you mean by this? If you are using mouse controls, this is intentional. You can move your mouse faster than Shaft's turret can rotate.

Maybe he means when the laser isn't pointing at you but you still got sniped?

Maybe I didn't suggest anything because the solutions are common sense. Maybe I'm suggesting that Tanki should pay me to implement them because Tanki Devs seem incompetent. Like how are you going to deploy code with typos in it?

 

You want my design solutions? I better be getting paid. I'll point out the problems but I'm not suggesting solutions in any kind of detail without being paid to do so.

If you're authorized to hire then send me a DM on here and I'll show you my previous Design and Development work. That's my career. That is how I pay my bills and feed myself, etc.

I did log in and play for a good amount of time before coming to the forum and making a post.

 

"Everything will be incorporated little by little"

Dude it would take 30 seconds for any developer to fix a typo by fetching the live deployment code from server and fixing the typo then redeploying that code. You can be working on Tanki V3/4 or whatever. That is no excuse for not taking those 30 seconds to fix a typo. Development and Maintenance are completely separate and both should be done at the same time. The devs have their development environments that they're working on stuff in, but then they also have access to modifying the current live deployment which usually simply involves changing folders from DEV to PRODUCTION, making a change, and running a single command to push that change to the server. Even if a new UI is in the works, there's no excuse for having typos in your live deployment.

 

"Not all of us are perfect to do something right the first time"

LOL What kind of designer creates a UI Design containing typos? What kind of software developer submits code containing typos to a live deployment?? Pathetic excuse.

 

Where are the standards?

 

"If you really want to see this game progress, give ideas, suggestions"

Pay me and I'll solve the problems. I'll do a better job. I don't work for free. Design in a nutshell is solving visual problems. I'm not solving Tanki's visual problems for free. The ideas I have are worth money.

Look at this gem LOL playing on a crappy android tablet with Puffin Browser how many years ago. I'm not a noob, I've been around since close to day 1. Since the first generation of graphics (this image is the second generation graphics). Probably been playing longer than every single person who replied to this thread. Have some respesct. You think I'm just hating on the game because I'm in a bad mood or something? Nah, I want it to be the best it possibly could, and the designers/developers aren't doing a good job.

Your insulting on android the most sophisticated OS does imply directly that you're not a developer.  If you use the AMAZING iPad Pro XMAX, you wont ever have the chance to play Flash.

@pepsi_tank2 seeing as you're mostly focused on bashing devs' work and claiming that you can do better, I don't see any point in continuing this thread. We only welcome constructive criticism in the I&S section. The specific issues you mentioned about the interface are unimportant and/or subjective, and therefore not worth discussing. The last issue about Shaft is not explained well enough — feel free to post a more detailed version in the Bugs and Glitches topic.
