Better UI and usability for Workshop levels. Less frustration and momentum breaking.
I would like if I could choose the option which list would the "additional levels" open first.

I subscribed to over 700 levels from the workshop, so it takes a while to load level list due to the sheer size of levels I have available. By default, the game loads the "suggested" list of levels as the first one, so each time I want to go through playing only my list of subscribed levels on the "additional levels" button, I need to:

  1. Press Continue on the main menu
  2. Press "Addtional Levels" button on the level select screen
  3. Wait 1-3 minutes for the 700+ levels to load
  4. Press the "Subscribed" tab
  5. Scroll down to a level I want to play
  6. Select character and start
  7. Finish/Complete the level
  8. Notice that the next suggested level is either...
    a) I've already played it
    b) Its a crappy "my first level" or a "test level"
    c) Its not a level I want to play right now
  9. Press Main Menu button. The intention is to get back to the subscribed levels list.
  10. Repeat. Start over from step 1.

I have to do this for *every* level I want to play from the workshop. Every. Single. Time. For all of the 700+ levels I'd like to play.

I hope you can understand how frustrating this can be. I'd like to have momentum in my gameplay to press "Next" during the "next suggested level" dialog box after I complete a level, so I can keep having fun without needing to go through the same 10-Step process every time.

I would also like if there was a "skip" button while the game is suggesting another level to play after I finished the previous one. Sometimes the level it suggests is not what I want, so if I can skip it, that would be awesome.


Summary:

I'd like these features to be added to the game:

  • Add an options section for workshop level browsing.
    Inside it, let us set which list will the game load first when I press "Additional Levels" in the level select screen. I want it to be "subscribed" as my first list that loads.
  • Allow us to choose how to sort the workshop level, so that I can set "subscribed, but not played" levels to be the top ones on the list.
  • Allow us to choose how will the "next suggested level" behave. I'd like to set it to suggest levels I am subscribed to, but have not played yet as its first priority.
  • Allow us to toggle wheter the "next suggested level" includes unsubscribed levels or not. I prefer going through the Steam Workshop pages and vetting the levels myself, than accidently subscribe to a crappy test level during the "next suggested level" dialog box.
  • Add a "Skip" button to the "next suggested level" dialog box that always appears after completing a level.
  • During a level in the Pause Menu, add a "Switch character" button. Pressing it will restart the level with the newly chosen character.
  • A bit off topic, but the game does not remember that I switched Twitch Offline mode on after I restart the game. I need to go to the options and re-enable each time I want to play with Offline Twitch mode.
