⚠Main Menu Overhaul⚠

[cloud yoke]

I see nothing wrong with the current main menu, but it is a bit over complicated and is rather clumped together.

After you first load in after tapping the screen, you should have the following options:

Single Player
Multiplayer
Missions
Public Missions
Mission Editor
Options

But in a horizontal line, or three on top, three on the bottom

Single player would be the following:

Dogfight
1v1 or 2v2 as options after clicking Dogfight

BVR
Close Air Support
Strategic Bomber
Loadout Viewer
Tutorial

Fun Modes
Time Trial
SAM Survival
UFO Attack
3rd Person
Ship Attack
Bomber Escort

Also when you see this, you should, 100%, add a custom skin maker. A simpler version of Flyout's skin maker

A custom skin maker would conflict the goal of monetising, that is skins

Public levels are monitored by Moderators, Admins, and Above, such as myself. Skins would be more strict but would most likely follow the same idea.

No that's not what I meant, so for earning Doolwind plans (if I recall correctly) to have a premium version which immediately unlocks everything

Would people buy premium version if we can customise

Or what if customisation is for premium users only

[cloud yoke]

I believe he's trying to avoid doing any in-game monetary unlocks such as skin customization, and that's why he has a "No-ads" buy. We should be incredibly grateful that everything is free as it is.

He wants to do a level system for that but you have the ability to go full warthuder and buy them

[cloud yoke]

No I mean like, full custom creation. Check out some Flyout skin customization videos

It makes sense to buy well made skins, but giving users the option to make their own, even if it's bad, would be fun

[dusky hedge]

I get it but then people would just make their own liveries instead of unlocking them. It might be fun but having to unlock/pay would be better and easier for Doolwind

[cloud yoke]

Maybe limited options in terms of creations, and as you level up you earn more points or just generic unlocks for more options

Or instead of the grind, you can choose to buy everything

[thin plover]

I'm suggesting this feature in premium version

[dusky hedge]

Yes that’s a good idea

[lapis parcel]

Thank you, yes this is my thinking for main menu, perhaps with slightly less options on the main screen

[lapis parcel]

The plan is for all gameplay to stay free

But I do want to have progression for skins

To give you a reason to keep playing beyond just having fun moment to moment

I do plan to sell skins, but you will be able to unlock them just by playing as well

My intention is to have stickers and then you can customize your jet, but within reason

The main issue with letting players pick any skin (such as flyout) is I am restricted on mobile as if someone makes an inappropriate skin and then tells Apple or Google they may take me off the platform

On Steam though I will likely let you create any skin you want as Steam doesn't care so much
