Theme and Account

Theme Update, Account Sign-Up, Client Graphics and UI, Plans for 2026.

Hello everyone! It has been a while since the last post, and I have a lot of news to share. Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a major update that includes new theme styles across the website and mobile app, a functional user account system, improved client graphics, a React-based client UI, and a complete rework of the backend and internal tools.

Theme Styles

I have refined the visual identity and theme styles for both the website and the client UI. This time, my focus was on simplicity, readability, and technical optimization.

For instance, I decided to remove background blur and heavy shadow effects. While these looked nice, removing them significantly improves text readability and boosts performance. I have also implemented a more granular color system, ensuring that buttons and interactive elements are consistent and intuitive.

Account Signup

The second major update is the ability to create a user account directly via the website. To sign up, you will need to verify your email address via a one-time code. You can then set a unique Username and an optional display name.

You have full control over your data; you can edit your profile or delete your account entirely at any time via the account page. This infrastructure is the foundation for future features, most notably the Voting System. This system will allow the community to vote on specific aspects of the digital state's starting conditions and influence development priorities.

Website Structure

Along with the visual updates, the website’s structure has been improved. The main layout is now easier to navigate and features a "mobile-first" design approach.

I have also added dedicated sections for Release Notes and Documentation. These sections will be essential for hosting detailed information about the project and its features as we move forward.

Game Client

I have updated the rendering pipeline to improve the main shaders used for objects in the 3D world. The shaders now support additional texture maps, such as smoothness and metallic, allowing for much higher visual fidelity and a richer color range on 3D models.

I have also implemented the base foundation for the mobile game client's UI system using the React framework. This approach to UI rendering will eventually allow for user-customizable in-game mini-apps.

And as mentioned earlier, the new theme styles have been applied to the game client as well.

Backend and Tools

For the past couple of months, I have also been reworking the overall backend implementation and cloud infrastructure. The goal was to create a more tightly coupled and stable system. Additionally, I built new internal tools that will allow me to iterate faster on backend development in the future.

Looking Ahead

The first part of next year will be dedicated to finalized graphics and visual implementation. I plan to build a "concept implementation" using in-game assets to lock down exactly how the final game will look. This will serve as the groundwork for the production-ready visuals.

That is all for this update. I wish you all a happy holiday season, and I will see you next year!
