I hate this so much. Please please please, if I have to click I want to see a button.I have this complaint with almost every Eos tease and I don't know if it's a choice by the author, a fault (feature?) of the viewer, or something else. My complaint is that when the blinking arrow is at the end of a line of text the behavior isn't consistent. Sometimes you have to click to advance the text and other times it'll automatically advance on it's own.

Re: Before Eternity - Feedback Thread
Oh, just remembered something else. There are a few places where the text advances so fast it's impossible to read it all before it's gone. Is that intentional?

In my opinion clicking should only ever need to be done when it's obvious. Most notably on a button.
I felt there was way too much need for me to "click" in this tease and I don't know if I just wasn't patient enough waiting for text to advance or if it was designed that way. This also threw off the pacing of the tease for me. I really felt like there were points where I could click to advance the text where I was meant to wait on it.
Also...

TLDR in Eos there are several options. Auto is the most common which for talking will require a click. You can set it to various things - I try to avoid the wait one personally. It can be instant but issue is with how much text appears in different size screens, browsers etc. If it all appeared instantly, I could make it work fine for my 1920x1080 desktop, but then it might require a lot of scrolling on mobile, which might result in an accidental click... Like if you play on mobile and I made all the text instant it would be more or less unplayable. Pressing lets it stay all on the screen at once. You can set it to continue after X seconds...but then everyone has a different reading speed!

I've done a temporary fix for this. I can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong with the storage, so...

Re: Before Eternity - Feedback Thread
I say I'm writing sexy teases, but really
If I can write something and somebody enjoys the trolley problem the most, ever I've created exactly what I wanted, or it's really bad and interesting philosophy is the only thing that can salvage it
Thanks for all the feedback, polls have had a lot of response and been good to read through. Plus 600 ratings already is really sweet especially when they add up to so high. Hopefully the bugs are all in order now
All the comments mean a lot to me, both positive and critical. Just wanted to show this one, had a few in a similar vein
EDIT: Patch note

Re: Before Eternity - Feedback Thread
I've had the same issues with the text.
Sometimes it was waiting for me to click and I had no idea, and sometimes it would go on its own without me having to click. It really threw me off and made it so I couldn't focus on the story.
I'm not sure how EOS works exactly but maybe make it more clear when you need to click, and when you need to wait, because as it stands, those two blend together. I've had times when I was supposed to click and I was waiting there for 30-45 seconds thinking it was a timer, and times when it was a timer and I found myself clicking, which once again killed immersion.
I think this is the first time I can't really get into a work of yours, and it's a shame.

Re: Before Eternity - Feedback Thread
If I recall correctly most of the non-purple text should be a click... I'd just kinda assume everything is :) Some might be auto because i want to simulate a character saying stuff fast but click is 99% the default.Unnamed_007 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2019 9:54 pm I've had the same issues with the text.

Yea this is the main reason I don't like EOS. It really needs to be fixed.Unnamed_007 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2019 9:54 pm Sometimes it was waiting for me to click and I had no idea, and sometimes it would go on its own without me having to click.

Re: Before Eternity - Feedback Thread
Hi. This tease is really good... but about 40 minutes into the tease it just stopped working. I don't know what exactly happened but it just froze. I think there is some bug in the tease.
It was showing this image when froze:
