Hey there first off I wanna say I love your game! The challenge it gives and the World so far is really nice to try and survive in.
I was testing somethings out, I failed at my goal and reloaded to my recent save and it had me think, "This feels a little cheaty...".
So I was thinking, why not some sort of set Save Point mode where you can only save when you're there (Examples being the Burning Keg, Checkpoint areas, etc) so that way this will encourage better choices and give an additional challenge. This could be optional entirely, I personally feel like this would make it a bit more realistic, yet not unreasonably unforgiving. I don't see any reason to give any benefits for taking this Mode as it's only reasonable or realistic to take note of your feats and failures in a Safe Area, but if you would like to add this idea in somehow and throw in some sort of incentive to partake in it, well that'd be your choice. Thank you for reading, and please keep doing a wonderful job on Lona!~
