Game development is a different experience

Game development is a different experience

I've been a developer for over 10 years, mostly in cybersecurity, but working on my own game is a pretty different experience. I'm enjoying it a lot, especially the logic and systems side of things.

I've been working on the economy system in my game, and it was surprisingly hard to get the pricing logic to feel right. At some point I started wondering if I was overcomplicating things, and whether players would even notice the difference. How do you guys decide when a system is good enough, and when you're just spending time on complexity that doesn't really add anything to the game?

WIP — Looking for feedback on the UI/UX direction of my indie game

I’m a software developer working on an indie mobile trading/exploration game.

I’m still in the early stages, and right now I’m focusing mainly on the UI/UX and visual direction before building out the actual functionality.

I’d love some honest feedback specifically on the UI/UX:
* Is the interface clear and readable?
* Does the overall visual direction feel cohesive?
* What’s your first impression when watching this?

Here’s a short video showing the current UI/UX direction:
