UI & Menus

Idea

What is my general idea for the feature? ("Tldr!")

• A playable Main Menu (walk through the menu like a level)
• Sliders will moveables.
• Buttons will be Buttons

Intention / Requirements:

What am I trying to achieve with the idea and what are my constraints?

• The player will move their character through the main menu like a level.
• Every interactable will have a menu function (Exit -> walk on stairs marked as exit).
• Every interactable must have a clear function (a text that tells the player what which button does what)
• Gives the player a opportunity to test the controlls in a safe environment.
• Eliminates the need for an extra tutorial level.

Design

What is my specific design for the feature?

Functions:

• Exit button: Stairs in the upper left corner
• Volume: a moveable with a restricted area it can move through (only one axis and not past max/min volume).
• Mute button: Button near volume (easy to access). (Maybe mute Effects and Music seperatly)
• Brightness:
• Level selection: Stairs for each level (maybe blocked if never cleared previous level)
• Highscore: TBD!!!!!

Visuals:

• Well lit so the Player is will always find their way in the menu.
• Short texts for every function on the ground next to the object (preferably one word like Exit or Level1).
• Short explanation of controls on the floor.

Finally:

• The player comes to the main menu when starting the game.
• The player comes to the main menu when pressing the escape button.
