Welcome to the second installment of our seven-part series on our game’s UI/UX rework. This note addresses the general adjustments needed based on your feedback and our own observations.
Menu Adjustments
  • Dual-feature Buttons: Currently, some buttons host two features, requiring double presses, which is unintuitive. This setup results in unequal feature access and lacks clear notifications for each function.
  • Expansion Constraints: Our existing design limits the ability to add new features.
City Map Usability
  • Feature Representation: Essential elements like the underworld or arena manager are missing, and others are inadequately displayed, making it challenging to navigate the game map.
Tutorial Content
  • Overwhelming Text: The tutorial's lengthy texts deter new players. We plan to slightly adjust and simplify the tutorial.
Character Navigation
  • Complex Layout: The current character screen is not user-friendly. We aim to simplify navigation and manage information more intuitively.
  • Equipment Management: We’re moving towards a drag-and-drop interface for equipment management, consolidating all items into a single backpack accessible across necessary screens.
Backpack Functionality
  • Unified Storage: We will streamline storage by using one backpack for all items, reducing confusion and enhancing gameplay.
These adjustments will make the game more intuitive and enjoyable. Our next notes will outline specific changes and implementation strategies.

o New Legendary weapons and equipment in the Legendary Dungeon "Shady Birthday Bash"
o Optimization of the expeditions
o Black Market adjustments

Here's the complete changelog on Helpshift: {LINK REMOVED}

The HELLEVATOR's steel doors will open tomorrow at 16 CEST! Fight your way through up to 500 floors and support your guild in the Hell Token tournament for unique rewards!
New! After completing at least the first of the ten plains alone, get ready for the daily Hell Attack with your guild members! If you defeat a plain together, all participants will receive additional rewards! You can find more information on the Hellevator info screen.



Now get ready for the following WEEKEND EVENTS from Friday to Sunday: Crazy Mushroom Harvest, Exceptional XP Event, Sands of Time Special, Epic Shopping Spree Extravaganza & Forge Frenzy Festival.

We have observed that the adjustment of the Gold Cap and the reduction of the character level at which this cap becomes effective have been subjects of controversial discussions.

After consultations with various community representatives, including MoZone and the SF Tavern team, we have reviewed all possible options to respond to the situation. We have made the following decision:

The Gold Cap will be maintained at its current level. We communicated the reasons for this decision several weeks ago and we continue to stand by it.

The level at which the Gold Cap applies will be raised to level 632 with Update 22.000, as it was before the change. This means that the cap of 400 million gold, which can be reached with the best mount from expeditions at 100 thirst for adventure, will only apply from character level 632. The gold income will dynamically approach the maximum value.

We have ensured that the gold rewards from expeditions remain on average higher than those from classic adventures.

Update 22.000 is currently scheduled for early July.

As we approach the 15th anniversary of Shakes & Fidget this June, we want to announce a comprehensive UI/UX rework that aims to enhance your gaming experience. We have recognized the need for a fresher and more intuitive interface. With the rework of the scrapbook we have already given you a little taste.


Motivation for Change
S&F has evolved significantly since its inception regarding gameplay while the menu and player navigation have largely stayed unchanged. In response to feedback and our observations, we've decided it's time for an update that makes the game more accessible and enjoyable on both mobile and PC.
Our Goals
  • The game should continue to be fun and easy to navigate, regardless of the device.
  • We're ensuring new players can easily understand and get into the game without feeling overwhelmed.
  • Long-time players will enjoy a fresh look while retaining the familiar feel.
Initial Adjustments
We first focused on the core aspects:
  • Streamlining navigation to be more intuitive.
  • Reworked tutorial to provide clearer, more engaging entry points for newcomers.
  • Redesigning character screen and backpack for better clarity and accessibility.
Feature-Specific Adjustments
We then moved to enhance major game features to align with our new UI:
  • Smith, Witch, and Guild: These key features have received significant updates to fit seamlessly into the new layout.
Minor Feature Tweaks
Almost every other feature saw adjustments to improve integration and functionality:
  • Arcane Toilet, Shops, Hall of Fame, Underworld, Fortress, Pets, and Arena have been refined to enhance your interaction and enjoyment.
We believe these changes will make S&F more enjoyable and accessible to everyone. Stay tuned for further details in our upcoming notes.
