Ahooy, dev pirates!
After the official Eraly Acces Launch Phase, please use a big part of what you guys earned to hire a team that is totally focused on improving the UI/UX. This will increase the immersion and might remove the "Ark 2.0" comments. This will also be a good way to show the community that you are here to improve the game and make it what everybody wants from it.
Don't focus all your resources on new content, when your basic UI/UX looks really bad.
Also, the font you' ve guys used ingame and even here, on forums, it's really hard to read and makes some people angry (at least 2-3 friends of mine reported that). Just use a simple font and make sure it does not look like Comic Sans MS.
