*WIP* - Star Citizen experience overhaul & new core features

This is an early work-in-progress preview of the new Star Citizen experience we are creating for GameGlass. We will be looking for feedback early and often as we strive to create the best product possible. Please share your thoughts with us on this post!

INTERACTIVE PROTOTYPE →

New Core Feature - Panels

As we built our Shards for SC, we were focusing on specific gameplay mechanics and crafting experiences for each of them. We knew this approach was not scalable and we wanted to come up with a better way of crafting high-quality experiences at a quicker clip.

Panels will function similarly to widgets on your phone. They will be responsive, adaptable, scalable, and configurable.

On tablets, instead of one panel there will be 3 panels.

Most importantly - Panels can be easily swapped on your device without the need to go back to the Forge for configuration

New Core Feature - Boot Animations

Boot animations add a “wow” factor to your shards. Engage them by pressing a button, or have them load automatically when loading a Shard on your device. For now, we are focusing on crafting high-quality manufacturer-specific animations for Star Citizen, but we plan on adapting this feature to support any game.

New Core Feature - Theme Swapping

Unique to Star Citizen for the moment, theme swapping enables you to change your ship manufacturer theme on the fly, right from your device without any configuration headaches.

On Tablet too of course!

***NOTE*** - All of this is EARLY work in progress. Everything is subject to change. No release date - It will be ready when it’s ready!
