I really feel like people covering it simply didnโt actually read the MSFT blog post. 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,

@sylphrin I even started to open the settings menu in order to show the accessibility options because people did not know they existed ๐ @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?

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 My Time at Evershine is the next from Pathea Games following My Time at Sandrock https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/my-time-at-evershine-is-the-next-from-pathea-games-following-my-time-at-sandrock/ @gamingonlinux I've played Portia back when it released and absolutely loved it. I still need to buy and play Sandrock. Hopefully, I can do that before Evershine is released.

Wow, how smart A fair share of wayland projects will just ignore this, mine included @gamingonlinux not really competing, it's designed to be experimental. To allow for early adoption and real world usage to speed up wayland protocol development. So while people are bickering on wayland protocols KWin & mutter & Gamescope can actually use things as a stop gap.
