Hey there <3
Thank you for the in-depth feedback. Really loved reading through.
Really sorry, that you had to start all over. We will provide a save file for the next update.
Inititally we only planned to rework the combat and then release the new version. It became a bit more than we planned. But we are still not happy with how the combat works. So we are experimenting with something different at the moment that we might use with later updates.
We also weren't happy with how long it took, but due to some irl stuff we couldn't get it done faster. And we wanted to provide some content with the rework.
Also when it comes to map design, we will probably go back to maps like the werewolf den when it comes to the "dungeon"-part. And we probably should have done the same with the forest. So yeah, it's pretty lackluster and you will definitely see improvement in the future.
This also applies to the overall content. We know it can be a bit much to read and sometimes you lose focus of your objective when being busy with fights and dialogues, so we will try to add something later on to help the player don't lose track.
And I totally didn't expect some of the bugs you guys reported. My testers really did an amazing job finding most of the bugs so it was quite a surprise to still see so many. It really sucks fixing them. And it sucks even more for you guys to experience them x3
So yeah... making a game truly is hard x3 But it's the feedback and support you guys give that makes us keep going.
Thank you again for your feedback <3
