[Game Mechanics] Hide Button Text Temporarily

[IAmTheDeviantFriend]

Idea first: The ability to hide player actions/option button-text until bottom of scene is reached or a "show choices" button is pressed.

Reasoning: When reading a new scene, I try to not look at the buttons so the end of the scene won't be spoiled, but it gets spoiled more often than I'd like. This happened to me quite a lot in CoC as well as the buttons would physically appear and draw more peripheral attention, but even with just button-text replacement, my vision is still drawn to it.

I think code needed to do this may be too much work for too little effect . Or smth similar may be reply from devs why it can't be done. (But I may be worng and their just never reconsidered doing it despite not been much trouble to add this)

 

[IAmTheDeviantFriend]

reconsidered doing it

Has this been suggested before? I tried to find something similar on the forums, but I did not find anything.

Just don't look! No but for real though it might be doable based on the scroll bar.

@IAmTheDeviantFriend It wasn't meantioned so far on forum so you may be quite certain the first person here to throw this suggestion. And to know what devs think on this you may want tag them to find this out.

I've tried. Sometimes I just can't help it.

I'm trying to not get my hopes up that it can be done. Thanks for ruining that.

@Ormael I'm sort of new here, and I don't want to bother all the devs. Suggestions as to which ones I should tag? Gedan? Fen?

@Gedan Would be your best bet for a good response, she deals with the intricacies of coding the most.

 

[Gedan]

In theory it shouldn't be too bad...

 

[IAmTheDeviantFriend]

@Gedan Thank you for considering it.

 

[Ormael]

@IAmTheDeviantFriend Usualy dev that reacts fastest is Savin. So either him or more specific one dev like for codewise things Gedan or general lore questions that may be outside of Savin scope then Fen.

 

[Noob Salad]

Fen rarely visits the forum, and Savin just started programming like 3 months ago.

 

[Ormael]

Yeah Fen may visit rarely but Savin can always poke him using secret Savin ways so even Fen will show up quite fast to reply or other way react if it's needed.
