Love the game put forcing it to pause when I work on another window is frustrating

[vampyre77]

Can you please give us the option to keep the game running when it is in the background I don't want to have to be forced to pause it when I'm momentarily on another window. This is kind of a deal breaker for me. I know it sounds small but for me it's a very big deal to be able to run it in the background when the window is not the main active one.

Hmm, but why? You're not getting any benefit from letting the in-game time pass while you're not active. Also, there's nothing happening in the game that would require your immediate attention.

Letting a game run in the background is useful for titles with those specific elements. For example, in a hunting game, you can enter a lookout, and then switch to other tasks while you wait for an animal to come by. You'll hear it when one does, so that's a good reason for keeping the sound on. But I don't see any use of doing so in Arcade Paradise, hence my question. ;)

In my opinion, games like Arcade Paradise definitely need to be muted when the window loses focus. Trying to do work with the soundscape of an arcade on my ears would be awful. And muting a game often goes hand in hand with pausing it.

Nevermind just realized this is probably not going to be a thing that gets fixed when looking at the dev interactions. Just decided to be done with it and request a refund. This makes me very sad as I would have liked to play this.

a workaround is using specialk, turn on borderless and continue rending
