New Introduction.

[grävling]

1. I like it.

2. It's not obvious (at least to me) that you need to tap to continue.

3. 'The world is over' ? If I am still around, its not exactly _over_. 'mostly destroyed'?

4. I only got to see it the first time I created a new character. I wanted to see it again, as there is another line that I think has a typo in it -- but it is gone. I'd rather that this dialog happen every time you create a new character, since you can always back arrow out of it.

5. On the other hand the 'Ahh the stench of New Boston' dialog series -- that I would be fine with seeing only once. Or maybe merge it into the new dialog? I am not sure about this; I think the main benefit is that people who are trying the game may expect this sort of dialog to happen all the time, when this is the only one. So if you hate them, and decide not to play because of it, you will miss out on a good thing.

1. thanks
2. we are adding buttons (next / skip to end)
3. yeah it's copy from the GMark intro
4. Currently: Always shown for all new characters, shown once
5. That is just sandbox stuff. We will probably remove it someday

Hmmm, I built a third new character and this worked. I must have tapped the back button with the second one, and not noticed. Sorry about requesting what is already there.

[Cory Trese]

No problem.

What do you think about the buttons idea?

[grävling]

I like the buttons idea, but would add a 'replay this introduction' button. And if hitting the back button could be made into a 'confirm that you really want to skip' that would be good as well.

What doesn't get mentioned in the intro?

runners,
street drugs,
crime and gangs -- and the division between those with a corporate citizenship and those who do not.

more when they occur to me.

[Cory Trese]

you would like a replay introduction inside the character somewhere?

maybe allow launching the introduction from the select a character page? oh that could be cool.

[Cory Trese]

[Next] [Skip]

Then clicking the [Skip] button has no confirmation, but clicking "Back" does.

That seems like a workable solution, combined with another way to access some of the Dialog.

I think that this would be cool as well. What I mean is that the intro contains useful information for a newbie, but it is a lot to remember. Being able to play it again, when you are more familiar with the game, to see what you missed the first time would be useful.

Aha, it seems you only get the new introduction if you start a male character. So that is why I did not get it before, and not now when I made a new start. If that is intentional, ok, otherwise there is a bug,

[Cory Trese]

each introduction is per-character, so one of the has a 0 in there and she shows nothing
