Dear Game Devs,
Please please please let me access the options/settings as soon as the game loads.
Don't make me sit through a prologue, or intro, or tutorial of any kind. Just let me adjust the audio/graphics/accessibility options ASAP and then I'll look at all of your fun informative stuff, I swear.
On my knees,
Syl
@sylphrin I even started to open the settings menu in order to show the accessibility options because people did not know they existed 😅
@sylphrin The 2004 visual novel Fate/Stay Night autoplays the prologue on first play. The prologue lasts at least an hour. Any attempt to go to the main menu restarts the prologue.
Like, how do I exit the game properly?
Like, you can save and load saves, but I prefer to do that from the main menu.
Also the 2024 remaster is still like this.
@sylphrin@mstdn.games game devs in 2024 assuming you have one or two identical screens at most that runs at an ideal 1080p, and you want to play full screen on any of them
also game devs in 1999 assuming you have one chunky CRT, setting the resolution to 640x480 is just gonna make it faster, and higher resolutions are just a courtesy for higher-end graphic cards
