I love the new look! Well done to both of you.

Small question: any chance of linking the Twitch channel on the launcher as well? Or don't want to/can't?

Thanks for all you all do for the game!

 

This is such a better design! I'm very glad to see you guys tackling a 3.0 release of the launcher, as right now it's kind of all over the place.

I gotta be honest, though, I'm not liking the second screenshot. It's information overload. It took me a while to see the version number hidden in the middle-bottom-right. There's so many outside links, on both sides. I would even get rid of the giant Forums banner, unless that's being used for current events or latest updates, in which case... well, hmm. I'm not sure.

Also, on the first screenshot, "projectceleste.com" should really just say "Website" like it does in the second screenshot. No need to keep it that wide, plus anyone who got the launcher will know the URL.

 

Looks really really clean hey?

I'll give it a go too

 

I continue to be amazed at all the smart people who join in to help out around here. Everyone throws their own skill set in the pot, and the results are incredible. Thanks, guys. You are wizards and magicians, as far as I am concerned.

 

It was very good, excellent work, looking forward to doing the work in Portuguese Brazil

 

My only complaint/report so far would be that underscores in the name of the logged-in user don't display, and so clan tags, or users with spaced names will have their names bunched up, but this is only pretty minor (friends list name underscores function as intended from what I can see). Otherwise, it seems more responsive than the release client, and nothing is doing anything it shouldn't!

 

An item search?! I am in love. Phenomenal.

 

Great news on the fact you are updating the launcher and tweaking the inner workings of it, but having to be honest, I think the first window (Main) is way too empty, the second window (Account) is way too overcrowded, like get me out of here quickly, but the third window (Gamescan) looks absolutely great.

My two cents is that there is far too much emphasis on the AOEO Celeste logo which is way to large, could be half/third the size and still be easily seen as it's a very noticeable logo anyway. The logo takes up way to much space being in the center. In the Account window, the "Play" button should be under the Log in info. When I select a game launcher on my desktop, I already know what game I am about to play, maybe place that emphasis on the desktop launcher icon instead.

Sorry to be negative, but feedback is feedback and I really appreciate the amazing work you guys to and continue to astound us all.

Happy New Year to you all too

 

Totally agreed, but what's more important there is the hammer that has some important options within it. Maybe the version number can be hidden inside the hammer's dropdown menu and the hammer icon itself moved next to the Play button? I suppose then the question becomes what to do with that space. I'd suggest removing it and expanding the Play button area, but then that would require fiddling with the icons on the right... idk, the double icon set and the version number just seems a little too cluttered atm.

I suspected as much, the old launcher being built in WinForms certainly didn't seem easy to modify There's something about recreating something almost from scratch to be much more streamlined and efficient that just pleases the inner programmer in me. I'm playing the game through Steam so I don't want to potentially mess things up by installing this beta, but I can't wait to use this

I completely missed that If that's the case, how will it slide between images? Right now we have a big banner with two arrows, but I don't see how that might fit in the new design.

 

Do you have to uninstall the current launcher, to use this?

 

Installs/reinstalls between the 3.0 beta and the existing release version is as easy as copypasting into the same folder and yes to overwriting all anyways (you won't need to gamescan either), so I'm just keeping download copies of both and sticking with 3.0 beta for now!

 

The new design is awesome! I love it. However, the "Logged out" and "Logged in" screens are too different.
The options in the "Logged out" Settings are separated in the "Logged in" screen in the Settings and the Hammer and some of them are different. For example, on the Logged out screen we see a "Convert to Steam Game" option, while in the Logged in screen it is just "Steam". "Check for updates" change to "Update laucher", "Change game language" change to "Game language". These should be the same in both screens.
And the Patch Notes button has a wrong link. Its lead to the "Announcements", not to the "Patch Notes".
Plus a suggestion: Make a dropdown menu for the "Website" and put in the Celeste website, the Item search, the Unit stats and the PvP info.

 

Ooooh, I like this idea. This would add some space to the logged-in screen, making it seem less cluttered while not losing the functionality, and allowing for moving around the hammer and version info.

 

Is throwing a bug in the registration area, even by posting an existing email, the launcher claims that it is invalid if it can resolve thankfully from the heart!

 

Launcher design is super important! Don't bother implementing save load feature for offline mode, it's cool.
