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
P.S. Streamers would also appreciate it if you didn't force any games to be fullscreen mode only, ever. Why is this a thing.
@sylphrin Those are the worst!
@16bityeti I honestly do not play any games that are full-screen only ahaha. If the ctrl+enter trick doesn't work, I refund.
@sylphrin 100% with you, my only exception is handhelds, but for PC, if there’s not even a windowed setting… I don’t touch those.
@16bityeti oh yeah handhelds don't count ahaha
@sylphrin the worst kind: always fullscreen, can’t change the resolution
@Tijn Yup, I usually refund games that do this haha
@sylphrin I get the game dev urge to make the experience smooth for the player, but they have to understand that providing options is helping rather than hurting this.
@sylphrin I completely agree, and likewise - Games that have no fullscreen mode and a fixed resolution. Please do not make me play your game in a tiny window in the middle of my desktop!
@TatraT815 yes! Just give us options!
@sylphrin Do games that lack the ability to manually resize the window count?
@Sqaaakoi oh man that can be pretty infuriating
The games I make comply with (all of the above) because I also hate (all of the above)
@Patashu This is why I love indie games, the devs are one of us
