Thanks for playing and glad you like it!
First of all, when did you download the game? I was really busy trying to get rid of the stutters this weekend and uploaded new builds like crazy. You wishing for starting equipment makes me think it was an "older" build, because thats something i quickly put in too. Guess you didn't have proper loading screens with a progress bar either? That MIGHT fix some stutters.
I liked how weapons and armor appeared on your character, but did not like how they didn't on the companions.
This is a new one for me, it should show on the companions. Didn't see this happening on the streams of other players. Maybe i broke something in my recent builds?
Will also take a look at the store bug you mentioned. While way more stable than before, the inventories are quite a pain and the stores themselves have a few bugs that are hard to get rid of (sometimes it has more pages than needed, no idea why).
The door bug may also be semi fixed. The bug existed for quite some time and its hard to pin point it due to the proc gen and other issues that take priority. Seems like in rare cases the whole tile isn't properly uncovered, which made me hotfix a LoS check for doors. But that would sometimes leave neighbouring walls still invisible. Gotta work on a proper fix!
Your QoL suggestions are greatly appreciated! Revival of your buddies was frequently asked by people, so a hint seems reasonable. I will also make an option to review hints that were already triggered, because people tend to only read half of it, if any. Item comparison is quite a little beast to tackle im afraid, so it will take a backseat until i iron out the more annoying problems you and others encountered. It will come however! Item hitboxes are a good point and are easy to adjust.
Thanks again for playing and leaving feedback!
