[FEATURE] Suggested that the game time remains paused when closing the message box #55

Description

In games, I tend to have high speed game time speeds on waiting for my staff to complete their tasks. This is sometimes when the deployment is successful or a message box like defect appears. Although the game time is paused when the message box appears, it resumes immediately after clicking the OK button. It would be a waste of time for the player to click on the pause time button immediately when the game is running at high speed.

Current situation

feature1-1 feature1-2 As shown in the picture above, at the highest speed game time, a congratulations message appeared, and after clicking the OK button, I immediately clicked the pause button. Despite this, I wasted 17 hours. (from 6:00 to 23:06)

Solution

After pressing the OK button in the message box, the game time remains paused.

I agree with this suggestion. It will waste a lot of times if the user choose the highest speed. I think paused the time or slowdown the time into normal speed both are a good choice.

Yes, when the above event occurs, the game will be suspended and a prompt box will pop up. But when the user closes the prompt box, the game is resumed. Sometimes this is so difficult to detect that it wastes the time of deployed staff. Therefore, I hope that the game will not continue automatically when the prompt box is closed. It is also recommended to add shortcut keys (such as Space) for the pause/resume of the game to facilitate users to control the game more conveniently and quickly.

This idea is good. When I am playing the game with highest speed, once the system asked me to debug, or some message to me, there are a lot of times consumed. I was nervous and cannot read the message since the clock is counting down.

In addition to the suggested short keys (such as Space bar), also can add a new shortcut (e.g right arrow key) for speed control, just like youtube, Players can press and hold the Right Arrow key to maintain high-speed gameplay. Releasing the Right Arrow key will return the game to normal speed, offering players a seamless and more controlled gaming experience.

I agree, there were multiple times when I try to look at another page which led into a popped-up page while the clock was running in X2 speed. To get the clock stopped, I would have close the poped-up which means a good few hours of game time lost. Yes, I suggest the clock to be stopped automatically whenever we are in a pop-up and resumes when the pop-up is closedl
