Greetings beloved Citizens! As you might know, we are currently working on a massive ui update. A lot work has been done and our readers may remember some designs we already shared.
Today we want to share another, more challenging aspect of the design – that of the mobile version. The main issue we’ve met in design for the mobile phones is that of the smallest resolution we support in Tau Station – 568×320 px. That’s small indeed! Read on for a look at how we managed this.

This week, we’ll take a look at another area currently getting a significant makeover: side jobs. The Tau Station team has plenty of plans for this feature, which you’ll soon be able to experience.
