[@TheIronicRaven]

I know exactly why the pause menu thing is so wonky! So when setting up a super basic pause menu, most people will go to the incredibly basic setup of just setting thr timescale to 0. This does in fact freeze the game, making for a quick pause. But it has some pretty major problems which you ran in to, all interactions are also paused. The reason this works the way it does is because in Unity when you set the code to set something as active or inactive, it will actually do that on the next frame of the game. But if the timescale is set to 0, then that next frame will never come. Thought it might be fun information to have!

[@EvanCWaters]

Yeah pausing is actually one of the trickier bits in game programming (or at least it's tricker than you'd think) since you have to tell the game to stop this process but not that one because the player still needs to be able to input this, etc. You have to actually think about what "paused" means for every element and put that in.

[@lucasm20]

The way I used to handle this (been a while, might not be 100% accurate) was to use the real time in Unity, which is a separate value not affected by the timescale as well as a paused bool for a few other things. You would also have to do this in case you wanna have any slow motion effects since it involves adjusting the timescale as well.

[@Crystan]

@@EvanCWaters It's really not that hard, it just needs to be set up properly. Every major game engine has a way to pause from the outset built-in, and hard-coding one doesn't add much extra time as long as you know what you're doing.

[@SkedgyEdgy]

-- this just is not true. the game keeps rendering, the only thing that actually stops when you set delta time to 0 is physics steps and fixed update calls, it definitely doesn't stop isActive from working. they prolly just didn't set the pause menu's opening animations to ignore the time scale, so that animation and the animator's transition to that animation is paused as well

[@bluecoin3771]

I’d say the fact that it is 18 minutes long and unskippable is a design sin regardless of the topic. People have places to be, things to do, be considerate of other people’s time.

I don't mind a long cutscene, if it's relevant to the plot, is well paced, well directed, involves some amount of player input, and doesn't plug an e-book at the end of it... It's all about respecting the time of the player.

They want you to just act and hate blindly not think and work towards a particular goal ("Shoot things until you're told to stop shooting things"). Having a specific goal in mind like "survive until the time limit" "kill x amount of enemies" etc. are almost always accompanied by a WHY-but for their purposes they couldn't give that why until they were convinced you were far enough into the game that you actually cared, and not trying to sate your morbid curiosity. Because of that, I feel like the "hit me" part is their attempt of weeding out the curious about the game vs those who they think genuinely are interested in the message. Of course they underestimate gamers like yourself, but I bet that was by design. Hell I would even go so far as to think its SUPPOSED to be a secret that there's more to the game, and only "insiders"-probably those in training-are told about it as a test.

I can't blame anyone who isn't from the US or Mexico for not knowing the context of the Alamo story, but anyone who does know will see it for the Swastika-bearing flag it is. The Alamo was an old Spanish fort in what is now Texas. During the war in which Texas seceded from Mexico, it was being defended by a bunch of guys against a Mexican assault. The defenders lost and were slaughtered to the last man. This was a good thing, and the world would be a better place now if it had happened a lot more. Texas was seceding so it could keep enslaving black people. Every man in the Alamo was fighting for the "rights" of slavers, and many of them were slavers themselves. They all deserved what they got and more, and if every man fighting that war had been summarily executed instead of winning, history would be a lot less dark. People who lionize the defenders of the Alamo want us to either forget that history, or consider it a good thing. These people are not to be trusted.

[@boxylemons7961]

@@Frommerman Pretty accurate summary, though I think some people are moreso just straight up ignorant about the actual history of the Alamo than full on defend it in bad faith (Alamo was a bunch of good ol' americans fighting against an evil army of mexicans is pretty much just the pop history knowledge of it, like Napoleon being short or people in medieval times being flat earthers). With that briefly said however, don't get me wrong in that I firmly agree that how you describe the actual events of The Alamo as being accurate and I hate the whitewashed and oversimplified version of it that is common knowledge to many. It's rather disturbing with that as basically being the premise of the game, and how the game doesn't seem to show any slaves throughout the entire game, the only non-white characters being the "mexican army". It really doesn't surprise me with the context of the true history of the Alamo & Texas Slavery that eventually, a game like this *would* come around.
