@Meepledrone,
* I'll definitely be adding some visual cues when placing meeples to make it clear where they will be placed on the tile.
* As you stated currently the head of the cursor is where the tile/meeple is placed. As you can see the tile/meeple doesn't perfectly follow the center of the cursor so I'm looking into trying to fix this but I have to spend some more time debugging this issue.
* Agree with the viewport being small. On the list as a long term goal.
* Thanks for the feedback on the colors. I may try to change the blue a bit to increase the contrast and make it more clear.
* I agree the minimalism could be a bit much. One idea I had was to add something like a walls to the city sections - similar to the original Carcassonne - to break up the perspective a little bit. Still thinking on this one but could help with this issue.

@Bumsakalaka,
* Good point on the same screen. I may see about adding an option when creating a game for same screen/different screens to account for that use case.
* And yes the paths game is our variant on Tsuro!

Thank you both for the feedback! Not sure when all these changes will be lives but hoping to make many of them in the coming days.

Hey Bumsakalaka,

I really appreciate the detailed response. I agree there is a lot of UX related work to do and many of the actions in their current state are not intuitive. Below are are my responses to your points:

Event to Click: I agree this is a good idea and will see about adding support for this.

Team Selection: I can see about setting your team to the current turn on game start so that the tile shows.

Horizontal Screens: As you said, this was designed with mobile in mind so everything is vertical. Eventually when I have the bandwidth I would like to address this such that there is better support for horizontal screens but for now I am holding off as this is a significant time investment.

Highlighting Shapes on Meeple Place: Agree this would benefit the experience significantly and is on the list of things to add.

Turn End Change Color: The goal for this platform is to play with friends so ideally each person would select a team and then not change teams throughout so I don't know if this is something that should be implemented but am open to feedback.

Tile Rotation: Tiles can be rotated by clicking on the tile that shows up below the board on your turn. This doesn't seem to be clear so I'll see about adding some sort of indicator to let the user know they can click to rotate.

Again really appreciate the feedback! We'll look at your comments more and see about updating the UI with these changes.

Hi all,

We've recently created a web port of our take on the original Carcassonne and would love to get your feedback! It's still in the early stages of development so any thoughts on what we can do to improve the experience would be greatly appreciated. You can check the game out at https://quibbble.com/annex.
