    Maybe when you'll find out that skills were far from being the only priority and Prologue was merely a proof of concept prototype it'll get easier for you to grasp it as well. Like, you can download the old Prologue and see what (everything) was changed and was added since then. Should really...

    In reality a) would rather sound like "finish the other half of the abilities in an initially flawed form, while realizing they still have to be redone in a very different way, so it would take even more time to rework them later". Is it really that difficult to grasp that ability progression...

    It's because people somehow expect an amount of content comparable to AAA RPGs and gameplay complexity comparable to classic roguelikes to be done in a year or two by a team of 7, which is unrealistic to begin with. The previous year progress was good, and this year's progress will be even...

    1) You need to be spotted for crimes to register, except for murders which immediately put a bounty on your head. Maybe this will be reworked later on when we come up with a solution that will be both immersive and not easily exploitable. 2) Most containers will be owned. Some stuff, e.g. the...

    Inventory is working as intended. Yes, they take the same space for the sake of balancing/encouraging meaningful looting. It's fine, we're not going to change that. Not a priority currently. Letting you name a character and choose 2 STR instead of 2 AGI won't add anything meaningful to the game...

    I'm sorry lol, it didn't look like a negative award at all. But I guess I'm just not very familiar with this forum. I just logged in and was surprised to see our updates being consistently reposted so I decided to give it as a token of appreciation.

    We've just released our last patch for the Prologue - both this year and before the Early Access launch. Alongside with recent hotfixes, it improves balance a bit and fixes all major grievances we've received so far. Like no more re-reading books every new try and gangs of enemies right near...

    Ha-ha. Well, Burn doesn't cause Bleed directly, but it damages all your bodyparts, and when the injured body part takes damage, there's a chance it'll start bleeding. The worse is the body part's condition, the higher is the bleed-on-damage chance.

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. Yes, it's due to the engine's technical limitations. Since the game is turn-based, not animation-heavy and pixel-art, it doesn't seem too critical for us. Yes, due to how the save system currently works, we can't save it after you read the books. Maybe we'll...

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! Especially Lagi, some ideas are really interesting. Though UI-wise we're kinda limited with the max amount of possible abilities we're able to fit into one branch, so expanding existing skill trees is problematic.

    Probably not, we plan to go GOG after finishing EA phase. Supporting game on several platforms at once may be a burden for a small team like ours.

    This would be way too in-depth, I guess. We aren't really pursuing realism or simulation goal; instead we try to balance it between being deep enough to make survival interesting and at the same time easy to grasp. This is why we don't explain what type of injury it is (fracture, cut, burn etc.)...
