#Manual Save, Key rebinding, Colour options, Hotkeys

Please.

It's better for save security, backups, and if you do have to leave the game but haven't finished the day or otherwise. You can pause in that case but leaving the game running for hours isn't great.

Key rebinding and more hotkey options in that menu would be great. Key rebinding is especially important for accessibility. For example, I have a friend with one arm. If you can't rebind, how can he play efficiently. Adding a hotkey for interact is also needed in that case.

You have a lot of menus in the game but no quick way to go to them. J > go to people. J > click over to collection/discovery tab, then more clicks to find what you were looking for, etc. We have an entire keyboard at our hands. Being able to hotkey various menus would be completely QOL and better for accessibility.

Colour options are great for colourblind or other issues. I saw someone else post a suggestion about higher contrast on the rhythm game for example. Adding colour options would be great, but I do think Manual saves, and key rebinding (and perhaps an interact key) are higher priority as they're basic for accessibility, save security (if you crash it can lead to a lot of problems), and usability.

Hi @sullen yarrow , thanks for suggesting!
Do you mind breaking it up into separate posts for each feature, to make it easier to keep track of, find, and show interest?
Additionally, there's already a suggestion for key rebinds! Feel free to react to it ( flames ) to show your support! https://discord.com/channels/689229895473430538/1102510985618653194 You can also add the 'more hotkeys' suggestion to it or as a separate suggestion :D

I had already combined two into one for my other post. I'll split them when it makes sense, sorry. It won't let me edit

# urban root I'm confused on what you mean here

I had made a second post before you responded about doors/interactable accessibility options, and scale/movement for maps. All the way at the bottom I did find someone suggested keys to move the map so that could be added on. Didn't see the doors/interactables one. I didn't want to spam so that's why I combined, but I'm manually going through them now to see if anything attaches to others. Apologies.

#

Realistically, a lot of the suggestions tie into just UI changes and and options menu. There's no thread that looks like it should cover all of those, so I'm wondering what the best method is for adding input.

# sullen yarrow Do you want suggestions that relate to others but aren't the same in the thread ...

Oh. If you feel like something is tied enough or an expansion of another suggestion, you can add it to the same suggestion and there may develop a discussion (like how the additional hotkeys can be added to the keybinds)
If you feel it's different enough, or it's reasonable that some people will be interested in/excited/care about one but not the other, then it's probably better to have them in separate posts.

I think the biggest one I was surprised of not seeing a thread on is Manual save, so not sure if I can delete this, but I do want it to stay for that.

#

Obviously in multiplayer mode it's different but single player desperately needs it. I have another indie game that I love dearly but haven't been able to play for years since it doesn't have manual save 😅

My save was fixed after the crash, thankfully, but manual saves would have fixed that issue as I could've manually saved before running to bed for example. Then I wouldn't have lost time, and you have to just leave the game running on pause if you're in the middle of something then have to leave.

With all this unrelated discussion, it might be helpful to make it as a new post sweatsmile_Vuak
But if you'd rather edit this post so there's 1 fewer new posts, I could edit the title of it for you

#

What exactly do you mean by manual saves btw? I feel like it could be interpreted a couple different ways

sullen yarrow
#

Yea, I'll make a new one for just manual save and copy over what I typed to you. Apologies, everyone's discord thread policies are a little different. New here 😅

#

you should be able to quicksave or press esc, save, and make a save on the go instead of only going to bed to save.

urban root
#

Oh! There's actually been a suggestion for that already. Let me grab it for you XD

sullen yarrow
#

There's several ways to implement it, and I don't know what would work best for the game.

#

Thanks, Discord doesn't have search for this, so I had no idea where they were since I looked at what I thought were all the posts and missed that one ^^;

urban root
#

Actually it does have a search, though not as many options on mobile. If you don't click 'new post', the bar there can be used to search the posts (only searches the title).
On desktop at least, you can actually also use the search feature, which will look through messages as well.
And you can also use the tags to help filter posts (can be used in combination with the title-search)

#

Discord isn't always the best at making things clear and accessible, but the feature does exist! \o/

sullen yarrow
#

I'm editing my posts and moving sections now .It'll only be a moment

#

Searching by title is definitely harder since if you haven't seen the post, you don't know what the title is haha. I edited my second one to one option that I didn't find.

#

I can delete this one after unless you want this conversation here in case anyone else comes in with a bunch of requests/tweaks, haha.

#

Game is pretty great. The biggest issues are lack of some basic UI and no rebinding. It's really difficult to play for those with a variety of common disabilities as is.

Those are suggestions that already exist. I don't immediately delete them, to not confuse and to give people a chance to see that they already exist- if you go into the posts you'll see a message pointing to the unique version of the suggestion

sullen yarrow
#

Okay. I'm almost done fixing it up. Sorry for the inconvenience.

#

Are you one of the devs?

I am not :)
