Conversation Editing (Done?)
Friday, April 18th, 2008I daresay Tommy and I wrapped up the conversation editing interface. But who knows? That’s the trouble with GUI-related endeavors: the goals of the endeavor are rarely clearly defined. People usually say something like, “I want a graphical interface. It should look pretty. And, above all, users shouldn’t have trouble using it.” But the idea of “looking pretty” is clearly subjective; and the idea of “users not having trouble” is something that’s hard to measure. So how do you know when you’re done making a user interface? You don’t. There’s always something more you can do. You can always make the interface a little more intuitive.
Nonetheless, I’m declaring the Conversation Editing Cycle complete. If we get tons of negative feedback from our artists and other users, then perhaps we’ll tweak things. But I personally think the interface is pretty slick.
Onwards and upwards! (Physics?)
