Monifix Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hey everyone, I've decided to stop lurking around in order to make a (hopefully) small request. I would like to ask you to consider making the game playable with mouse only, since it would just be really convenient in some situations. I find myself sometimes playing the game on my laptop next to my bed at night, getting a few missions in before i go to sleep, or playing in the couch with the laptop slightly out of reach. This works fine mostly since I can just use the mouse for 99% of the things I want to do in the game, except for one. Being able to access the save/load feature without having to reach for the computer to press escape. I know it's nothing major, it's just a matter of convenience in certain situations. I hope you will consider it since you are already so close to having a mouse only capable game. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, we didn't think about that when we designed the UI so there's not really anywhere obvious where we can slip in a Menu button without it looking out of place. If only you'd asked a couple of years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monifix Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ah yes, I see what you mean about there not being an obvious spot for a menu button. But thank you for the reply and giving it some thought, I realize that I'm very late to the party since I only started playing the game about a month ago. It's not that important anyway, it's just one of those things that would be nice to have. The one possibility I considered was having it top center, either permanently or having it sort of pop up/slide out when you move the cursor there, since that would look the least out of place I think. However that would require that you'd still be able to scroll the map at any point along the top edge of the screen, even moving the cursor "above" the button, otherwise that might get annoying. So yeah, I completely understand that it would probably be more trouble than it's worth trying to implement that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 You could always tuck it out of the way somewhere, maybe in the inventory screen. It wouldn't be particularly intuitive there but it also isn't really something that would be used enough to merit a button on the limited GUI space in my opinion. There are no issues with it interfering with scrolling or any other game feature as that screen is basically static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
