Title: Awesome new front page, social features and more
Post by: SirEmi on May 05, 2015, 03:16:07 PM

+ We have given the game a front end makeover worthy of the content.

+ All the front pages have been optimized to be mobile friendly.

+ There a carousel on the front page and a  beautiful image gallery that get updated each day with content from the game.

+ There is an AG News section in the front as well as in game now, witch displays the updates and news.

+ Added the Space Exploration Academy page on the front, with same details as in game about each step, to be reviewed at any time.

+ Improved the way the "The explored stars" are looking on the front, it's much easier to browse now.

+ Added lightweight dedicated login page that works on all devices and can be easily bookmarked.

+ Registration is now easier then ever, so please tell your friends about Astro Galaxy, they will be stunned :)

+ Added highly advanced share features, that include share cards with image and descriptions.

So please visit AG now and if you like it, do share the link with your friends by using the Share button on the front page.

The new Supernova features will follow shortly in the next update.

Have a great day and happy exploring :)

Is it possible to "unfix" the gameplay changes that have made people stop playing?  :12:

I personally hate the new front end page.  The old one was simple and fine the way it was.  The new one is ugly and often doesn't even want to load properly.

It just gives me an additional step at log-in...

Old front page was like a cover of a good book, one of a kind :)
Current one is like facebook. Maybe it is "awesome" and all these social features are "awesome" but it's nothing special.

Maybe it would be possible to set new page as it is for mobile, but for PC keep the old style cover ?  Then I would play more often from my PC  :P

We shouldn't have to.  The new one is ugly and boring.  Part of what drew me to this game when I first found it was the old front end page.  If I had seen the current one I would have just went on and looked for another game.

I'm sorry I brought this up.

My login page is short-cutted to the desktop. It's only one click for me anyway. It is just because I felt left out by not complaining about something.

I mean, get serious people, how many other times have we had to re-think or re-engineer something because of updates? The game is growing, grow with it.

The new front end page though feels like a step back to me though and everyone I have talked to about it don't like it.

you are not required to like it, just deal with it.

...it is a minor thing anyway

many other things are more important

It sounds as if you are complaining just to complain...

The front page had to be mobile friendly so we can get a high ranking with the search engines, and so that people on mobiles can easily register.

We're already seeing an increase in traffic and page ranking due to search engine optimization.

The upcoming updates are all new content, so don't worry   :)

I had never had much of an issue on mobile.  Hell there were times when I would log in using my DSI.
