Introducing The Navigation Screen [Part 1] | Clubs
Hey guys, how are you doing?
Today I am introducing you to one of the sections - Clubs. In the next posts I'll also tell you about other sections that you see on the picture and also about other things that will be added later.
A little backstory, I wanted to make these sections from the beginning but due to lack of experience and uncertainty I put this work off. For me, everything that concerns code and unique design is a pain in the ass, so it takes more time than I wanted or more time than writing a script or creating a photo in a studio. Also, I've been putting off this idea because of the reason for delaying future updates. But as time went on, I started getting more and more requests to add a "student list" and "Gallery" to the game because of the large number of characters and scenes you would like to replay. So I decided to combine all the changes I wanted to make into this update. While it's summer outside and most people have taken off on vacation or are spending less time on their computers. Knowing that I would need more time I thought this would be the perfect time to make all the changes that have been bothering me lately.
While I was moving I started thinking about how I wanted to see these sections and what I wanted to see in the finals in general. Well, it was quite difficult because I have a lot of ideas but because of perfectionism it was hard for me to find the perfect one. I realized that I needed to make the navigation screen - the main screen that would be the main star and that would always be in the spotlight...so I had to make more than 10 options to make sure which one was the best.
One of the first options for a navigation screen.
In the beginning I thought it looked pretty good xD But if I doubt my work even for a little bit, it means I'll regret in the future even more if I leave such an option.
The last option for the navigation screen.
So what you see above is the final version of the first page navigation screen. I'll tell you about the other pages a bit later :) I'm very happy with my work and I think I couldn't have done better at the moment. And of course I'm insanely happy that my code skill is getting even better and having faced big challenges in the beginning through persistence at the end I sat back and cheered like a child when the code started working.
Now let's talk about the clubs section.
As one of the main focuses of the game are clubs I wanted to make this section unique and something exciting. Unfortunately now I can not say that I have done a good job with this work as I have not quite figured out how to realize all my ideas in the club screens.
Student Council Main Screen.
So far I am in the same process of realizing how I want to see the main screens of the clubs as I was previously with the navigation screen. I want the main club screen to be alive and filled with information about the club. So far with the current option of the screen I am having trouble figuring out how to make it practical, pretty to the eye and convenient. If I can't find a solution within a couple of days, I'll probably change to another option. Perhaps I should move away from the idea you see now and make a more practical screen in the form of character tables for each club. If you have any options for how you want to see the main screen of the clubs let me know. The more ideas the better.
In any case, clicking on the character you are interested in, you will see his personal page.

Personalized pages have also undergone their evolution from the backbone you may have seen in the last post to the final result.
I want to thank my patrons💖 who helped me with this and were interested in making the personalized pages even more informative and engaging. As you can see I have redone the main requests that have been said as well as I have removed the student bio and put it in the "Biography" section that you see on the bottom right. I've gotten a lot of suggestions on what to add to this section so in addition to the biography, various interesting points/facts about the student will be added. The "Biography" section won't be available at the moment and will only open with character progress.
I want to make it clear that this is a BETA version of the navigation screen which will be improved and getting better with each update. Now I am working on the rest of the sections which I'll show you in a few days and I'll try to make the final version of the main club screen and show you. As soon as I finish with the navigation part of the first page I'll continue to remake the start of the game and will continue to do day 11.
It's a big and long journey and I hope you will be a part of it. Thank you for your attention.
