Hey Rat Punchers, Happy New Year!

As always, I like to write a blog post at the start of the year to recap, summarize my current plans for Shattered, and share what my main priorities are for the coming year. This post starts with a year in review, and then lists the major changes and additions that I have planned for Shattered Pixel Dungeon in 2026 and beyond!

Yeah that is something I've considered, there is actually an earlier iteration where the symbols were even harder to read. I do think it's not as big of an issue as you might think initially, given that we're used to the extremely flat scrolls. There would also still be extra info such as item names and inventory icons.

    This reminds my of the verse from "The Roguelet's ABC" about the original, text mode, rogue:

    U: There's a U -- a Unicorn!

    Run right up and rub its horn.

    Look at all those points you're losing!

    UMBER HULKS are so confusing.

    I think favouring clear and unambiguous design over one that is, perhaps, more aestetically pleasing but less clear, is quite important. You don't want to make a mistake and end up losing a run just because you thought you were looking at one thing and it turned out to be another.
