This is the first blog post I'm writing about my newest project called Mage-Ledger. It's a React Native mobile application being developed for iOS ( and eventually Android ) that's meant to serve as a replacement for the notebook I take with me to my local game store every Friday.
I finally feel comfortable enough with the overall state of the app to share it with the wider world as I ramp up to release. I don't have a hard launch date, because it's a side-project to my big-boy job and I'm the only one working on it, but I hope to have it done sometime this year.
What does it do?
Well, most importantly for my purposes, it tracks your life total and number of spells cast each turn during the game. As a combo player, both of these can be difficult to keep track of and are very important to my strategy.
Here's a video of the app being tested, bugs and all!
As you can tell, graphic design is my passion.
All jokes aside, I do really enjoy the sharp contrast of black and white in the design. The positioning could use a lot of work though.
The next time I post, I hope to have more of the UI stuff figured out, re-arrange these components and buttons into an order that makes sense to other people.
Current TODO List:
- Fix Placement of Game State Settings.
- Improve Spacing of UI Elements
- Fix Initiative and Monarch Icons
- Fix hot-reloading when game state is updated.
