maybe a pause option?

[The_K00lDude]

I understand in multiplayer this can't really be done, but I think there should be an option to load a single player world, that features a pause option?

either this or make it so enemies can't attack you on your plot. The way it is now, there's no safe place. sadly I can't simply do one thing out of the game (make a cuppa) without coming back to being beat up by random enemies. instead I have to save and completely quit the game, just so this doesn't happen.

We are currently working on balancing the frequency and difficulty of enemy encounters, especially on the shop plots.

I would love to be able to pause the game. Got real life stuff that pulls me away it would be very handy.

We've gotten this request a few times and are evaluating it.

Just got word that we will definitely be adding a pause feature. It will take some time to implement. The reason we don't have it right now is because it might break the game. We need time to test for edge cases.

I love how active the team is with community feedback!

We are so grateful for everyone who is buying Saleblazers in Early Access and supporting our development financially (and emotionally!) -- it's the least we can do to be as responsive as possible to create the experience players want to have!

It's great to see such a dedicated Dev team. I swear each time I close steam, I get another update for this game haha. I can totally understand testing a pause feature first, hope it doesn't cause you too many issues :)

guess I'll change the answer too, in case others find the thread

Thank you for acknowledging our hard work! It feels really good to hear <3. We have been patching furiously, but we had to roll back the last two patches (which will go into the next patch). Sorry for the whiplash and rapid development over here -- we want you to have a good experience! We may have to slow our roll a bit and take some more time in between patches to better test them before uploading so we avoid having to roll patches back in the future.

take the time you need no need to rush though patches, but it's good to see dev activity. I think you guys have a solid base for a game and it can only get better.

Going to add a further request for this, always a good thing to have when there are consequences to having a real life intrusion.

I am really excited for this game, but as a disabled gamer, who only plays solo, PAUSE in a game is a must.
I hope that this becomes a feature as I can't play it until it is!

yo i wanna pause bro

[N0ma13]

Any update to this by chance?
Not being able to pause seriously limits when I can try this game out.

Bump/Update?

I absolutely f***ing hate having to exit to main-menu every time anything around the house comes up.
In a game that's built around time-management, especially.
