The Interface Initiative is Coming

Written by The Roll20 Team | Jun 8, 2015 7:00:00 AM

We’re pleased to announce our summer update, the “Interface Initiative” (check out our video chat about the update here). After three years of building an increasingly complex sitemap without a design overhaul, we’re very happy to take a moment to polish both site navigation and appearance in a way that will truly impact day-to-day use of the program.

Working with the conceptual art of Roll20 logo-designer and all around good guy Dylan Todd, we’ve been able to distill the site down to a better functioning, more visually appealing look.

Here’s a preview of the design work– please note that additional changes are being made in the actual implementation:

One important change from what you can see there conceptually is that we’re reworking the sitemap to remove the current double-bar redundancy.... here’s a look at developer Steve Koontz’s work at implementing topic-related pull down menu’s instead:

Lots more of this to show in the coming months.

In addition to the visual and navigational streamlining of the site, we’re also planning on...

  • Improving 3D dice with new appearances, increasingly optimal graphical performance, and percentile dice.

  • Adding additional content and systems to the Roll20 Compendium.

  • Furthering the scope of Roll20 for iPad and Roll20 for Android by including macros and additional journal content.

All-in-all, we’re very excited about this undertaking, and hope you are as well!
