Add Settings On Title Screen, Update Starter-Select Tutorial Dialogue (EN)

Open torranx opened this issue 9 months ago • 10 comments

Resolves #1312

PR changes from initial review

What are the changes?

  • Added Menu option on the title phase*
  • Changed starter select dialogue**
  • Removed the access-menu tutorial when entering the encounter phase***

Why am I doing these changes?

If not all, most games have the option to access settings before playing. While it's true that we can access the settings immediately when first playing up PokeRogue, it is not apparent how exactly you can access it until you start a new game and the tutorial to open it appears.

  • *(Accessibility) Having the menu option prominently displayed on the title screen ensures that players can easily see and access it without needing to guess or remember a specific button press. This is particularly helpful for new players who may not be familiar with all the controls yet.
  • *(Accessibility and Standardization) Users typically expect to find key options like settings, load game, and other menu functions on the title screen. Placing these options where they are expected improves the user experience by aligning with common interface design practices.
  • ** It is not apparent that you have to press the Space bar to select a Pokemon, this is based from my experience and others as well.
  • *** Adding the Menu on the title screen makes the current tutorial encounter phase flow obsolete.

What did change?

  • New option (Menu) in title screen
  • Starter select first line changed from From this screen, you can select your starters to From this screen, you can select your starters by pressing Z or the Space bar
  • The access-menu tutorial found on the encounter phase is moved to the end of menu tutorial, phrased like so You can also access menu by pressing M or Escape anytime while awaiting input.
