I'm always surprised when I see plain white text with no background. A very basic 1 pixel black outline would have made the text infinitely more readable, but you don't see outlined text very often in video games.

the ui designer always has to go through a product manager who doesnt care about the end product as long as they meet their aggressive deadlines. Furthermore they often suffer from "oh this feature NEEDS this" and aren't willing to stray from industry norms because they rarely look at the big picture of how the UI from these different mechanics fit together
And chances are different teams are even in charge of different features, and likely not talking to eachother when it comes to UI

So did it end up being a Black Flag/Rogue clone or a Sea of Thieves clone?

What's surreal is that this is pretty much the ONLY people in other tech companies that have total freedom on both time and budget: designers. Getting people "hooked" through perfect visual manipulation and with satisfying icons is a literal there.

The art of repeating the exact same thing many times.

Designers != UX/UI designers
This is what happens when you don't have a UX/UI Designer.

>no boarding, which means no land and ship-to-ship combat
>no progress between different, awesome ships like pic related
>downgrade in every aspect, even in the calligraphy
>no travel between oceans and islands
>DLCs, season pass, exclusive content on social media and service in-game
>no choosing to be a pirate hunter working with different empires
>mfw no Spanish imperial navy as captain
>mfw THIS demo is ages better than today: youtu.be
Fuck those french fags, this was MY waiting game and they're ruined it for me.
I just waited this game in vain

Reminder that people that push these terms have RUINED video games with their useless jobs
Industry was better off without them and without menu and shit

Even a Mount & Blade mod did it better lmao:

How hard was it to make Black Flag 2
Hell you already did it, it's called Rogue
Just do that again but with GTA Online's multiplayer so people can play with their frens and add a billion microtransactions like you always do
Tyler Nguyen
yea aaahh user interface i cant believe theres a term for that im so mad about that

Recently replayed Black Flag and all they had to do was
>make interesting world to sail around, don't worry about it being tied to the real world or history other than basic pirate-y time period
>get rid of worst parts of AssCreed gameplay like tailing (holy shit this is the worst part)
>greatly expand on ships, like allowing different types and customization with what kinds of armaments you put on your ship
>more types of cargo to plunder
>expand on the island gameplay to more pirate activities, plantation raiding is neat but needs more to do
>maybe even let you set up small rest spots on small islands like those random bars you can find
>maybe crew customization
>pirate cove can grow into entire free port town if you keep investing in it
>more harpooning and other ocean activities
Black Flag felt like this perfect basis for an all time great pirate game if it had a sequel that ditched AssCreed and expanded on the sailing stuff

Benchode designers ruined the fucking industry

I dunno what you have. The game has a awesome UI/UX.
