One move we made was making tech tiles the same color as their tech tree and I think that has been a fantastic success. One new change I would like to suggest is making the races of the same color slightly different shades. This would make it easier to differentiate when scanning multiple games.
ex. Taklons and Ambas can be a few shades lighter/darker from each other. It would not be have an impact in an individual game but would add some character and uniqueness when scanning multiple games or playing multiple games. Just another little way to provide information tothe players without making huge changes.

This is something not really seen in the board game bc of the limit in pieces, it would not make economic sense, but would be easy and beneficial to implement online.

Thoughts?

Running stream of thoughts:

-Arrows and plus signs should be smoother icons. check some options here that fit thematically: https://www.freepik.com/search?dates=any&format=search&page=1&query=arrow&selection=1&sort=popular&type=icon

-On Mobile "PASS" on booster tiles and advanced tiles gets compressed.

-RD scoring: Would shade them from light to dark R1> R6, helps visualize progression

-The Gaiaformer icon should match the gaiaformer icon on players boards and on the map

This Icon would work nicely on players boards as there are 3 'Gaiaformers'
0 Gaia formers all 3 icons are hollow
1 Gaia former and 1/3 icons up in player color on board
3 Gaia formers and 3/3 icons indicated in player color on board
If gaia former is off player board and on map corresponding Icon could be in grey scale.

-the VP Gear icon has too many edges for small screens, esp on the boosters - would opt for a simpler icon? Is it a vector image? Could explain compression. A star has less points and would fit thematically, plus other games use stars as a VP icon

• IF using gear icon (or another Icon) it should be matched within score tracker. ex: If White has 45 VP, it should be indicated by a 45 in a red gear next to their name inside the score tracker. This way a player can associate the red gear with Total score.

-Personal Pref: Would keep the clipped top right corner on tech tiles and advanced tech tiles.
The Power Actions and QIC actions should be purple or green respectively

I hope this is helpful, I really love this game and am so stoked there is this version I can play it on. You guys are doing an amazing job and I appreciate your openness thus far with the community.

I really like the darker shadows on the board!

I would adjust the width of the tech tiles so they match the tech track. They appear to be floating and don’t associate with the board.

Might have to reduce the size of the imagery on them to fit, but I think it would be a huge improvement to have everything line up.

Also, could we code it so that the tech tiles back ground color match the same color as the tech track? I know that isn’t in the board game, but would be an easy visual association we could do on this platform.

The colors used for the new graphics are quite harsh.

I would recommend a complimentary color pallets that incorporates all of the new designs. There’s a lot of sites out there that can create one for you. I’m more than happy to assist if you like.

The size of the tech tiles is also too large on mobile. Makes it difficult to absorb information

Im Sure I’ll have more but this is my initial reaction
