I want to share the progress of our UI refresh project with you this week. As a disclaimer, please note that this is work in progress and by no means finished yet.
Have a look at this screen from the current version of the UI. It serves as a reference to see the differences between old and new:
And now the same screen with the new design applied:
You immediately notice that we moved away from the grey tones to a more blue-ish design. The tiles now feature a way larger title area with a focus on the actual commands. Tiles now have a gradient background.
There are a couple of things we already moved to the new layout: fonts and font sizes, primary and secondary buttons, tile context, section headers, progress bars and more.
The new UI still looks a bit off in large portions and that is because of what we haven't changed yet: if you take a closer look, all tables and form elements are still the same and use the old color scheme. Since forms and tables are a big contributor to each screen layout, we expect that the look and feel of the new UI will change quite a bit once that is implemented.
We already collected some early feedback from our supporters and took note of it. Right now it doesn't make sense to fine tune individual parts for the reasons just stated. Feel free to let us know what you think though, feedback is appreciated!

Last week I worked on getting a new trailer concept started. We haven't had a new trailer in a while, and I wanted to incorporate more of the actual gameplay into the next trailer and have it less stylized so players will know exactly what to expect when they start playing the game. It's still in an early concept phase and probably won't be finished for a while, but we are working on it. I also want the "story" of the trailer to be an actual scenario that can be done within the game that will help potential players understand what awaits them in Prosperous Universe.
Apart from that, I have a few more influencers that are being lined up for this month and next. Look out for those videos in the coming weeks!
As always: we'd love to hear what you think: join us on Discord or the forums!

Happy trading!

THE SPACE ECONOMY MMO
In Prosperous Universe, you are the CEO of your own spacefaring company. Explore the galaxy, design spaceships, forge alliances, and most importantly: produce, trade, transport, and profit.
Manage your business through a highly customizable user interface named APEX.
Real Economics. Real Ramifications
Contribute to a purely player-driven MMO economy in a persistent universe allowing for unique experiences, a multitude of play styles, and no grind to speak of. With its emphasis on realism in everything from the economy to space travel, Prosperous Universe provides a unique experience to players of all backgrounds.
COLONIZATION
From civilization building to workforce behavior, reality has guided the design for this space MMO.
There are a wealth of factors to consider when deciding where to build your first base such as: atmosphere, minerals, temperature, pressure, access to water, and terrain. Understanding and exploiting complex systems are key to surviving in the vastness of the universe. Will you set up shop near the local commodity exchange or venture out to remote parts of the universe for more resources? The choice is yours.
PRODUCTION
No grind required: The success of your simulated business is not limited by the amount of time you input.
Set your own goals and forge your own destiny in the deepest reaches of space. Every resource and commodity can and must be produced by a real player. Choose your profession wisely. Certain materials are easy to produce but won’t make you rich, while others are scarce but require careful planning. Stumble upon a goldmine-like supply chain and watch your profits skyrocket.
TRADING
Every price is determined by supply and demand in a real-time market exchange that operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
This online space simulator provides an economy in which all players compete and cooperate with one another. Trade or bid on commodities, in-game currencies, and information with a vivid operational interface hub. Bringing wealth to your base will increase your workforce population, and over time your space colony will transform into economic force to be reckoned with.
SHIPPING
Transport cargo, design spaceships, or explore remote planets as you so desire.
Spaceships provide players with a multitude of strategies. Will you establish multiple bases across the galaxy, ferrying materials to and from each location? Or maybe you would rather fulfil shipment contracts where you deliver resources to other players, for a price of course. Keep an eye on your fuel gauge, you don’t want to be caught on the intergalactic highway on empty.
POLITICS
Become the Governor of your planet and rule with an iron fist or a benevolent heart.
Many planets are home to several political factions. These factions have their own interests and political agendas that may run in opposition to your personal or collective goals. Choose to join them or work against them. With enough leverage, you’re sure to be able to convince even the most powerful of politicians.
