Thank you for your offer to help.

Please let me know which parts of the game you would like to improve and I will provide you with the details on how to edit or replace the graphics files.

All the UI, toolbars, buttons.
And also improve the graphics a lot.
Im very experienced in design and modern ui.
I would love to work on this as its one thing that put me off. I think the game is awesome but needs a graphical upgrade of the ui badly

Thanks for your reply.

For building graphics, they are already in the mod kit and you could replace them with new ones. You may see the details of the mod kit at https://www.capitalismlab.com/mod/

If you are interested in improving graphics not in the mod kit, like trees, terrain textures, road textures, people and cars, please let me know which one specifically you would like to start working on and I will try to get the source files from the dev team and send them to you.

For UI, currently it is not included in the mod kit. If you could let me know which interface you want to improve first, then I will communicate with the dev team about your intention. Then I will get the specifications from the dev team about how exactly you could improve the UI, including the details of the work flow.

I have talked with the dev team.

They suggested that you create a rough layout of the new interface that you envision and we will then give you feedback if it is practical for implementation.

You may post the layout of the new interface on this forum or you may PM me, or email me at info@enlight.com

Thanks

Creating a rough layout wont really work for me as i wont know the limitations and what i create would may not work.
I could create a photshop of a ui but would need dimensions and everything so i know what im working with
I would just clean everything up so wouldnt mess with the code i would just improve the look and work with what's already done.

I can and will do some other graphics that i can already do that's in the mod section.
Any chance i can get Digital Age as i have all the dlc apart from this?

I will talk to the dev team about your suggested work flow and get back to you.

Would be happy to send you the Digital Age DLC key once you have posted something (UI or graphics).
