Alpha 14 Update - Menus and Bug Fixes

Zirka Dominium
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Most of this update is just improvements to the audio/visuals of the game. I wanted to finally add in button sounds and remake some of the more outdated menus just because I was starting to get annoyed at how bad they were. I now intend to work on some more game-play stuff again, but figured it would be a good idea to release the current changes first as they should not break the game.

  • Fixed some issues with map screen overlaps
  • Added a basic turn summary that appears at the start of each turn
  • Made some updates to the diplomacy meeting screens, adding some new effects to improve the screen
  • redid the empire information screen, adding in more options and information
    • This includes having 3 different lists of empire planets (overview, military, production)
  • Redid the buildings screen
  • Redid the fleets screen (still WIP, but better at least)
    • All columns can also sort by the selected value now
  • Also made a graph of empire production allocation
  • Made some changes to the tech screens
  • Started updating the ship design screen
  • Created a custom mouse cursor
  • Added UI noises for all buttons
    • Selections have one noise, going back another, and errors a third.
    • Current sounds are likely temporary until I make a better set of sounds
  • Updated a few empire portraits
    • Brotherhood of Atom finally have a different set of pictures compared to the other human faction
  • All updated lists can now sort by column values, either by letter or by number value

Did some other minor updates to menus

  • Fixed some screens allowing scrolling of the map when it is out of view
  • Fix exploits (Ship design save could be done multiple times, gaining more money)
  • Fixed an issue with turn one population increases being unusually high
  • Fixed an issue with diplomacy in single player not allowing alliances in some instances
  • Fixed some other issues with the ship design menu
