[SUG] Welcome Screen enhancements

[IchoTolot]

It's more of a newbie-onboarding feature that anything else

Suggestion:

For a new NL Profile ask the user about their desired behaviors in the options.
Give them a quick tour of the most important options and we could avoid many pitfalls.

The Welcome Screen is something I keep coming back to; it has a lot of newbie-onboarding potential. I don't actually think it should immediately present users with options. It would be better to present a screen explaining a single feature, and ask "do you want this?" then update the setting accordingly. We can show maybe 5 screens max, so we'd have to choose wisely

Yeah, i think especially things for replay and frame stepping behavior should be the priority here

Will — Today at 9:37 PM
"Use replay features?" is as complex as the question should be, as well
We then tailor the individual options depending on the response to this, and make it clear that the user can fine-tune it later

IchoTolot — Today at 9:38 PM
But what exact means "replay features"?
A little bit more precision should be given but that is a small window to hit here
Anyway for now just an idea

Will — Today at 9:39 PM
The startup screen should be as basic as possible
Not because people aren't smart (most Lemmings players are), but because people want to get through it quickly and get to the game

IchoTolot — Today at 9:40 PM
Yes basic but still precise enough so that the user still knows what this is about.

Will — Today at 9:40 PM
So, it should be "Replays allow this: 1, 2, 3. Do you want this?" Boom, done, next

IchoTolot — Today at 9:40 PM
Maybe "Use replay features?" and under it 1 sentence
or that way
But again different battle maybe for V 1.1 or so

Sure, newbies have turned off replay -- as a hack! Can't see how to cut it after rewinding? Turn the whole feature off! Please don't mistake this for a genuine wish to disable replay.

You'll fix that newbie confusion in a different way during play. Only after that, revisit this worry.

Newbies want to play a level ASAP, I agree.
