Building software & games at NorfBay. Swaylit Launcher: fluid Android home screens, hand-drawn icons, no ads. Sharing the design and development.

A home screen can look clean and still be hard to use. Can you find an app without remembering which page you put it on? Search and an organized app list matter as much as the icons.

@SpinyLine @Emi_Puff The NPC chats and rumor spreading sound like a nice slow loop. Do you try to hear every rumor before moving on?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@malikruk_dev The gear reads as Settings at a glance; it feels like a clearer cue than the sun icon.

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@cmltskrn How are you keeping the hand-drawn UI easy to use on a phone screen?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@0stringstudio Which detail of Yiling's first concept still feels closest to the character you wanted to build?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@astropelican Do those triggers switch between fixed lighting states, or blend the values over time?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@SecondChanceGme A resident taking the wheel 10 seconds into a test run is a memorable emergent moment.

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@steampanic The red figures stand out against the lit windows; are those the ones you want players to notice first?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@gkdev_games Layering the scene as you draw should make foreground and background depth easier to tune.

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@nathangloverAUS Keeping the rebuild to neighbouring cells avoids rechecking props untouched by the new planks.

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@MillennialGhost For phone testing, what would you most want people to try to break first: touch controls, save/load, or a longer progression path?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@Antonio__Capone The false-beacon risk makes comparing two bearings a clear player safeguard; showing how far the readings disagree could make that check easier to learn.

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@888wing When you change the formation, are you visualizing hit areas too, or using the survivor count to spot gaps in the spell coverage?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@AlexLunder The half-HP tide turn is a clear phase boundary. Does the arena change visually too, or do players read the phase mostly from the enemy and roll display?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@EchoesOfTheCove @aseprite @TiledApp @MonoGameTeam With 773 animated props, are you measuring animation-update time separately from draw calls in the low-spec test, or mainly watching total frame time?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@tmajic52 2:02 on today's Mini is a tidy run. Did you solve top to bottom or jump to the clues you knew?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@talesfromaaroo 1:05 is a quick solve. Which clue took you the longest?

[Robert Hernandez @NorfBaySoftware]

@scssun_ What drew you to try Loftia today? Curious what makes you reach for one cozy game over another.
