What’s lost is the context this started in. I saw 3D being considered as the next feature-feature, meaning designed to bring and engage new users.
In response to this new feature work I wrote this: Teaser Fridays and Roadmap talks
“Please make messaging elegant before working on 3D”.
I have made a subjective call that messaging is not elegant within Defold.
The manual and documentation supports my claim, it’s miles long and all over the place in attempting to describe the different types of messaging, and eventually resorts to tutorials.
I’m sorry to hear it won’t be made elegant, and can’t be modified. That’s in the above thread.
In the context of making things that make Defold more attractive and more popular (the actual originating thread), the next thing to do about messaging is to communicate it better to potential new users.
That’s possible, I believe. I’m just not the right person to begin that initiative as I’m not sure I fully understand it, certainly don’t fully understand the design criteria, wasn’t the designer, don’t work for King or Defold, nor do I think I’m any good at writing.
