Hi!
This is one mildly annoying thing in LFS. When I exit the game to view credits, I have no other choice than to exit the game altogether. There is no way to return to entry screen other than launching the game again.
So, what I'm suggesting that there should be a way to return to entry screen directly from credits. Sometimes I just want to view the credits with no intention of exiting the game altogether. And more often than I like to admit, I've accidentally clicked that exit button when not intending to, which results having to restart the game again and me getting mildly annoyed at myself
I think there are two ways devs could implement this and it should be possible for them to add them both, if needed:
1) Similarly to other screens, there could be a orange exit button located at the bottom left corner which users could click to exit the game (or, in case user is in demo mode, bring them to that screen which tells demo users to buy LFS - clicking that screen exits the game).
And then there should be a green button titled "Return" (or similar) located at the bottom right corner, where user could return to the entry screen by clicking it. After all, to exit the game from menu, you need to exit twice, once for entering the credits and once to exit from the credits screen. Furthermore, this would also help first-time players who may not know you need to click again at the credits screen (and even the third time if user is in DEMO mode) to exit the game.
2) But, I can understand if editing UI would be too time-consuming for Scawen. Therefore, an alternative method would be using /entry command. This command already exists and it normally brings user to the entry screen.
So the alternative method would be that typing /entry at credits screen would actually result user getting to entry screen in-game from the credits and therefore work as intended(?) in the credits screen.
Reason why I'm suggesting that alternative method is because at the moment, player could think they can still return to entry screen from credits by typing that command. But nah, typing that command does still exit the game. Which does leave me wondering, is that even on purpose considering:
- Most, if not all, of the other commands don't work in credits mode!
- /entry does seem to work as intended on all other situations, except when viewing credits
