Typing these out as I play so I don't forget.

> Mixed on the controls. WASD are mapped to the battle actions like attack/skill, and you can use them to select skills and view their descriptions, but not selecting targets. I gotta do finger gymnastics to do this game

> Seems like if you commit into an attack while the game is mid-zoom (from the target select?) The combat scene would be stuck in that level of zoom.

> Combat could benefit from being a tad faster. A button that you can mash to skip the ceremony of each skill's half a second windup would be good. This is probably something you should work on early before it becomes a pain in the ass to do and people WILL ask for this.

> You should play the Etrian Odyssey HD remasters on PC for a bit tbh. Copy that game's feel, especially since you're inspired by PQ

> plz let me use esc to exit menus or X. I'm sure a lot of people are used to arrow keys + ZXC controls so that could also be a consideration

> the items you can loot in the world seem to be invisible? Not sure if intentional since you mentioned chests in which I can't find them

Developer (1 edit)

From last time, here are some changes:

1. Battle loop completely new, now you can control everyone
2. Game balance and nerd shit
3. There's skits, now (well one of them)
4. Treasure chests, new lighting, entirely new dungeon feel etc etc

If there's any game breaking bugs please let me know.
If you press a button and nothing happens it's because whatever you pressed ain't done, god help me.
Also, if you already watched the story (or can't control your adhd) you can skip cutscenes by holding backspace.
