Hey there Dweomer, wanted to give you some quick feedback for the new version of the game(congrats btw!).
I can already see how much work youve put into this new build. The visuals are a huge step up from the prototype. I think there is alot of potential here, I really like the idle RPG loop of recruiting heroes and sending them into dungeons for loot.
My biggest piece of feedback right now is that I feel a bit disconnected from the party members and the action. In the previous version of the game, I loved seeing the hero running around and visually engaging in combat. The new version feels like its lacking with feedback of what your party is doing, I dont really get a sense of when a party member is about to attack or use an ability. It think a visual element could help alot here, like a small progress bar or a quick animation, that showed them charging up their attacks. It would really help me feel more engaged with whats happening on the screen.
Also small nitpick here, but it would be nice to if we could still click on the exit we want to take, instead of needing to use the buttons, or arrow keys.
All in all, great work on the update! Im excited to see where you take the game from here. Good luck deving.
