(READ BEFORE POSTING) Guidelines for Posting Ideas

[chrislo27]

Do you have an idea or feature request for Polyrhythm Mania? You can post an idea in Discussions in the Ideas category and other members of the community can comment on them.

A discussion can get elevated to an Issue by a maintainer if it has been vetted. Please do not create issues for feature requests since they need to be discussed and approved first! Development is hard and more complex suggestions add more work — consider a donation to move development forward.

Your idea needs to include the following:

• What the feature request is in a short 1-2 sentence summary
• Why the feature request would be beneficial to users
• Any potential issues that arise as part of the feature, such as incompatibility with other features
• Image mockups and prototypes are greatly preferred!

Make sure that:

• Your feature isn't already implemented in the game, either in a current version or an upcoming one (check the Issues tab)
• Your feature isn't already suggested by someone else (comment on that discussion instead!)
• Your feature is reasonable to implement

Example

Feature Request: Playtesting in the Editor

This feature request would add a "playtest" mode in the level editor. You will be able to play your level using standard controls to make sure it is playable and fun.

Justification

It is useful to be able to have quicker feedback with how your level feels to play as a player, rather than just seeing how it works. This would eliminate having to save the level, going to the main menu to load the level, and then playing it in order to test it.

Potential Issues

The correct controls the player has bound in the settings needs to be used when playtesting. Also, there needs to be a way to start/stop/pause playback like you normally would when editing, preferably with a keybinding.
