Hmm, it sounds a problem about the caller about the "level is ready to go".
So the steps ;
- Start the game
-New Game
-Start on the city siege level.
- close the level ; question - have you reached any check point? or have you saved the game manually? Or you simply open the level and close it ?
-then restart the game application
-Then click on "continue"
Loading screen never closed.
Is that correct ?
Steps:
-Start the game
-New game
-Start on the city siege level
-Don't even move, Escape key, "Restart"
-Loading screen never closed
-Close the game (alt+f4)
-Start the game
-Continiue (doesn't work, no reaction)
It looked exactly the same when I attempted it on quarry level after reaching checkpoints. I did not save game manually
Ok, new information. I decided to delete the game and download it again. I started a new game, then tried to restart. After a few seconds music started (it happend on earlier tries too), then after another few seconds I heard the intro, but loading screen was still there. Whole intro played out, then I heard normal game sounds including attack on mouse clicks, but still the only thing I saw was the loading screen. Looks like some bug causing loading screen not to disappear graphically, but the rest of the game works normal. Continue button still does not work after that, but when I started a new game and reached a chceckpoint, continue button works just fine even after closing the game by pressing alt+f4.
On the other note, if I could suggest something, I noticed it's impossible to access options when in game. Works through main menu, but not in game, eg. city siege level. Would be good to be able to adjust options, especially graphics, when in game
Yes , the issue is related to the loading screen. I am on it.
The other suggestion - options in action mode- will be added. You know, as a solo dev I have to put everything one by one. The options are gonna be reachable via action-city builder mode too .
Thank you
Note: I am also implementing "game play" options to the stting menu too
I think, it wont be good idea to keep "restart" option . Because, current save load system store all the data of the side scroller items, enemies and the quest . I need to rework on that to saperate the side scroller data and set them as "temp" . I think it will hit all the deadline s if i start on that. I think , I have to remove restart option and postpone to implement it. I made a progress but the quest system hit me. Sorry for that.
Currently ;
You start on the first level, the game will automatically be saved. So if you just close the game and start it again, main menu will start from the begining of the seige level.
If you go on playing , switch to city and then take the contrat. Game will save the game. So if you switch to mine level and close t without any movement. and start the game again, main menu will start from the end of the city building level. you will start the contrat again .
This is the best i can do . what do you think ?
In my opinion the best option would be to implement possibility of saving the game manually at any time without quitting it with possibility to load save slot at will. Plus autosaves at checkpoints. And restart option could stay if it were to restart current mission instead of the whole game from the beggining. But what you said works too
