Comments
Some feedback from a few hours in the demo: - a true pause would be highly appreciated. Sometimes you just have something that needs you attention and it would rock to be able to feel safe pausing the game for a while. - can't pick up weapons straight into your weapon slots, if you have an empty weapon slot but your inventory is full. - autosorting would be a godsend - I would like for the in-game music to play while in the shelters, but very rarely (if at all) while out in the world. - sleeping could have a small cost to energy/hydration, like map-to-map travel. Sleeping could also increase mental? - dynamic HUD elements. I like playing the game with minimal HUD, but I don't like checking stats constantly. it would be nice to see vitals when things get to the point it needs your attention, for example the HUD gets a red hydration symbol only when your hydration goes into the red. Same for pretty much every element that currently is a trackable stat: health, stamina etc... - dragging items to your current equipment drops them if they are not compatible. I'd like for them to return to the slot they were at. Otherwise I have to keep picking up my stuff when I'm figuring out all the attachments! Thank you for the demo and for all the effort & time you're putting in the game. It is shaping up to be something truly special.
