New Table Layout

We’ve just pushed one of the biggest updates to Satori so far: a full rework of the game table layout.

This update changes how the board is presented, how cards are arranged, and how the player reads the relationship between the piles, the deck, and the hand. The goal was to make the game feel more physical, more readable, and more satisfying to play.

What changed

• Reworked the full in-game layout

• Added a clearer central pile/tableau structure

• Moved the deck into a more important visual position

• Improved the bottom hand area

• Updated score, resource, moves, wallet, and modifier placement

• Improved card spacing and board readability

• Made the game feel more like a cohesive card table instead of separate UI elements

• Continued visual polish on cards, selection states, and atmosphere

The Mandala Evolves

Each journey now creates a unique mandala that grows and changes as you pass through the trials.

Your progress is no longer only measured by score, cards, and survival. The path you take now leaves a visual mark, shaping a mandala that reflects the run as it unfolds.

Why this matters

This new layout gives the game a much stronger foundation for the direction we are building toward.

The board is now centered around card flow: piles, deck, scoring patterns, and the hand all have clearer roles. This is especially important as we continue developing the earned-hand system, where cards are not simply drawn into your hand — they are built through play.

In other words:

Your hand is something you construct.

That idea is becoming a bigger part of the game’s identity, and this layout is an important step toward making it feel natural.

Still in progress

This is a major change, so we’ll continue tuning the layout, readability, pacing, animations, and overall feel.

We’d love to hear what you think after trying it:

• Does the new layout feel clearer?

• Does the card flow make more sense?

• Does the hand and pile system feel better?

• Does the board feel more satisfying to play on?

Thanks again for following the project and helping shape the game.

More updates soon.
