Extend intro to be more like the original game #19

Open alexjyong opened 2 years ago

alexjyong commented 2 years ago

Any reason why the intro is short compared to the original game? I remember more flavor text in it. Was this a choice to remove it?

m3101 commented 2 years ago

I think part of it is how the intro feels and is presented, rather than the length itself. In the original, it pauses after each sentence/paragraph, making for a more dynamic experience IMO. Plus the last paragraph is separated into its own little screen (with the Systems Check screen, which is lacking here).

I'd suggest making the typing effect faster, adding the pauses at each sentence/paragraph (they could be marked on the text so the translations don't end up making less sense, or something similar) and maybe separating the last paragraph to recover that feeling of time having passed between it and the rest of the text.

I'll try looking into that after I explore the code a bit.

@alexjyong, could you check whether it feels a bit closer to the original now? I, personally, feel it does. I had some free time tonight, so I basically just added separated paragraphs and a screen cleanup before the last one. It should translate well into most languages. ( 86bcc092e16d13e4da7b7131466628a1249a590a ) I'll correct a few bugs tomorrow (if you don't wait before you press the "continue" button, all of them start typing simultaneously).

Taking a look at this tonight

alexjyong commented 2 years ago

Are we still adding in the systems check code into the intro? @m3101 @Einharr

Einharr commented 2 years ago

As far as I know - we do

alexjyong commented 2 years ago

I didn't see it in there but I can look again.
