ZERO PROMISE but add here anyway ( ML Wishlist )

Post by gilesgoat »

So .. NOTHING GUARANTEED IT WILL EVER BE DONE but "just in case" add here the "things I'd like Moose Life to have" or such ..

About the "Native Quest Version", this is already in work.

PS4 we'll try, Switch maybe ( not out of question ).

- Fix audio imbalance issues. When I watched Jonathan Blow steam ML, I didn't hear any issues with audio, so I think this is a bug.
- Add "Restart Current Stage" option to in-game options - make it the first option that appears when you pause.
- Add Separate music and sound fx volumes (if you can't fix the current audio imbalance issues)
- Command line option to launch straight into game instead of having to run the config launcher first.

THERE IS ALREADY !

Start the game, go "pause mode", use left/right/up/down dpad to select things.

Have you noted there's also an "instructions screen" that says so if you use left/right in the main screen ?

Agreed :) Ideally on a secret keypress as well (pause and then both shoulder buttons for example)

Ah, OK, I misunderstood. I thought "Vol" was music+sfx volume. I'm currently uploading a video demonstrating the audio imbalance issues. I'll reply here when it's uploaded.

Minimum keys for a restart. I don't use any of the options in the pause menu except for quit so I can play again. Right now I think it's pause, up twice, a button, wait, a button

Here's the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-B0TGh ... e=youtu.be

Skip to 1:41 where you hear that one sound effect is dramatically louder than all the other sfx. This is with the sfx set to low.

Skip to 2:54 where I set sfx to low then listen to how loud a single sound effect is at 3:05 (it's a lot louder than all the other sfx).

Skip to 3:19 (just before Game Over) and notice how the music volume suddenly drops when the track changes to the title music.

Yep, if you're going for optimising scores on single stages, then you need to quit a lot, and having a shortcut (or having it as the first option in the pause menu) would make it an infinitely more pleasant experience.
