After playing for a while these are my biggest issues with the game.

Camera is unable to be adjusted except by fixed zoom levels and sensitivity in the menu.
Gets stuck in objects like the helm of the ship, and doorframes.
I'd love free control over the camera's zoom and offset.
Also can't look up without hitting the ground.

Maybe a first person mode in the future.

The In-world UI elements I just personally don't like.
The hunger for example can only be seen when you need food with no way to gauge how hungry you actually are.
Save icon isn't going away but that might just be a bug.
Manual save would be good.

The PDA is pretty bad as well only being able to be navigated by walking.
Either pause movement controls with the PDA open or implement mouse input for it.

Light doesn't seem to be an option for vehicles, so driving at night is nearly impossible.

Bed seems to ignore what time I set to sleep to.

Weather is going crazy despite the weather forecast saying sunny.

Outfit selector takes a long time to go through everything one by one.
Sorting outfits into a gallery would make it faster to pick an outfit.

character won't hold still while adjusting face which makes it difficult to see what you're changing.

Hey wanted to provide an update on this, while the changes haven't been stuck in the latest release, these were my first moves on our new update cycle, camera, PDA, and lights have been our top priority the past few days and actually went with your suggestions for most. I did want to clarify some of your ideas, when you say gallery for the costumes, do you mean like a grid with previews? Also, as far as camera zoom goes, the only smooth analog zoom mechanism for pc is the mouse scroll wheel, which is presently bound to swapping weapons, would you advocate to a keybinding for weapon swapping to free up the wheel?

Thanks for following up, Yes A grid to display the costumes would be for the best. Being able to click on a specific costume would be more user friendly than pressing a button repeatedly. Probably should limit it to 20 or so costumes per page to avoid a small UI.
Currently the camera system works without major issue, but at low zoom it feels centered awkwardly, and a little higher will have you scraping the ceiling.  If smooth zoom would cause issues for players on controller then it's probably fine to leave it as is. but if most people play on mouse and keyboard I think it would be worth implementing.

Overall I love the changes in the latest version. It's a big upgrade from when I wrote my initial review.

Hey that's all great to hear! I totally agree with the grid, the issue comes from having to render them, the player model is pretty conservative on poly count but not to the point we could render it 10-20 times on screen at once without a noticeable performance load. We could do thumbnails, but with  130+ costumes, it's going to need a full pipeline for a pretty lackluster solution. So I'm currently toying with a reduced player model, something super low poly to allow for a live grid, but close enough to get the point across. 
As for the camera, I think I may have written the most satisfying solution I've yet had in this project, a super slow reaction speed, so it clips through objects, but I've added a peephole dither to our major materials, so it gives it a very stylized and smooth feel that keeps the player framed consistently through collisions without jerking the camera. It's still being tuned, but shoot me a message on discord and I'll shoot you a one off build if you want to check it out!
