I think its kinda awkward that we have to include settings for our own games outside of the standard ROBLOX main menu, and instead it has to be something separate.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could add our own pages to the main menu, so we could list our game’s controls and allow users to configure them as they please? It would also let us maybe add guides, patch notes, and other misc things that users might be curious about.
Never thought of it, but it would be pretty neat.
Back when the topbar was an issue, one of the big stinks made was that the CoreGui was only for ROBLOX UI and that mixing in user GUIs was the devil because it confuses the user – I doubt they’d be willing to allow our settings in their CoreGui. That being said, Esc is the go-to settings button in all games and having two different keybinds that do the same thing (pull up settings) because we can’t fit ours into Esc is equally confusing.
Maybe ROBLOX would be more willing to do something along the lines of Esc opening a frame that prompts the user whether they want to open ROBLOX or game settings.
A button on the main screen of the esc menu called “Game Settings” would be great especially if there was a event that fired once it was pressed allowing us to show our game’s settings without having to replace roblox esc as the default escape screen.
