in-game menu

[pvwolfgang420]

this game desperately needs an in-game menu. while you are in a game press Esc. and you currently see an option to resume the game or quit. i won't go into great detail of the menu options you could present, but there are a couple that i strongly believe should be added sooner than later. 1. a/v options: you should be able to change at least the sound options, gui, control, and some video options without exit to menu. 2. bug reporting: i got this idea from DCUO. while in-game you hit esc and one of the menu options present was reporting a bug to the developer. that was early post-release (haven't played since then so idk if its still there) but i think it would be an extremely convenient and efficient tool for an alpha release. a way for players to report bugs directly to TFP without revealing exploits to other players, or even having to tab out and access the forums.

Definitely!

Well an ingame menu will probably come at some point but I wouldn't say it's a priority. Except an option to give feedback is included ofc like the "bug reporting" you suggested. There could even be a menu point for alpha surveys where the pimps can ask the community for their opinion. Something like that yields more value than forum polls because almost every player presses ESC from time to time while only a small portion visits the forum on a regular basis.

At this stage in development, I think Hinado's suggestion is a great one. It would give the devs the ability to push their questions and concerns to the entire player base, instead of just the small fraction of us who visit these forums.

+1 definitely support this.
