Leaving beta?

[enbycass]

This implementation seems stable and bug free. Any reason it's still in beta? It's been over a year now, I think!

I don't think it's ready.

The game log needs significant work - you can't actually follow what's happening from looking at the log now, yet there are still a lot of redundant entries (do we really need 6 separate items on the log if someone photosynthesized and traded 4 N in?).

The main screen UI needs significant work - even on a very large screen with a large browser window, you have to make the mushrooms much too small to read to have a hope of being able to see the entire forest by midgame, yet there's a huge amount of extra wasted space and some game elements take up a lot more space than they need.

I opened a bug / feature request about the latter, and the developer closed it, saying yeah they're going to do some work on this. I actually don't understand why they wouldn't leave the feature request open if they know it's an issue they want to improve, but because of that I didn't bother opening feature requests to improve the game log or fix flaws in it. I'm waiting until they do the work they have planned, and then take it out of beta.

To answer your questions, we (the publisher and myself.. the developer) must do complete work on improving the game. This is why your suggestions for improvements are currently closed (but they are noted).
