[request] Let the dead rest?

deliverything · 02-22-2011, 03:43 AM

A number of times, I've died in-game due to an external distraction (my cat, for example, has no respect for treasure hunting), which is made worse by the fact that, if I stop to deal with this distraction, the game's going to continue without me in a few seconds. Would it be plausible to have it wait for a keypress?

You can always pause the game by pressing escape or clicking the mouse.

Almost always. Not when dead (with the laughing stone head on the screen, when it just skips to that animation) or when entering through the door while the START message's still fading in (when it does nothing whatsoever), though it does work when it's fully there and hasn't vanished yet - dealing with the fatal distraction may leave Ann or Dan standing there surrounded by moving death-traps.
I didn't realise clicking paused, though - I always used escape. Nice to know.

3 Anns were harmed in the making of this message (I had to doublecheck).

If you die at that point, you don't lose any progress, right? Since you've either just spawned, or you are going to..

Well, some points are lost, but it was probably bothering me more than it should've been. Never mind.
By the way, thank you for responding to my posts (and also for making this fun, if sometimes frustrating, game).

Thanks ^^
There is not much I can do for you now, but we will definitely keep your suggestion in mind for when we update the game. When and how large that will be I can not tell at this point yet though.

This issue has been resolved in the latest version. Enjoy!
