Thanks for the feedback. If you invest some skill points into the cartographys skill you will be able to use the automap, that will help in the dungeon. Also on the settings dialog there is an option for Field of vision, you can select between 45, 60 and 75 degrees, though I think it looks best in the default 45.

I should be posting another large update tomorrow. I'll try to get some of those interface suggestions into it.

Thanks,

Jesse

I can't play it.

Do you have the latest .Net framework installed. There is a link to it on the downloads page.

If you continue to have problems send me an email, its on the main page of the website.

Thanks,

Jesse

Nope. I have all the .net packages installed. 3/3.5/4 etc

No death penalty until lvl 6 isn't such a great idea as you can freely explore almost all of the area in the demo. If it was one time protection it'd be better and the penalty isn't too high to begin with only thing you should do to "reduce" it is make bank more easy to use(ie. by adding slide bar to set the amount or deposit all button).

The whole village, while very functional, could use some more sensible reason to exist. Idea of shops in such a small community doesn't really make sense so you could replace the bank with storage box/room and use trading, and ingredient/information/"time" gathering for the shops. Of course you could just give some explanation to why they need the money or leave it as is since it is a pretty minor thing.

While enemies work fine as small images in boxes I can't say the same for npcs. Maybe I'd be more comfortable with just portraits or flat ingame images. But as is they look horrible to me.

Also after a few hours of playing it shuts down complaining about lack of memory. It might be related to the tons of ffdshow audio decoders that appear in the task bar.
