Hey there, thanks so much for all your feedback! Really helpful to get such a detailed insight. I'm really glad you've been enjoying the game.

I shall aim to try and get the bugs for Chapter 13 and 19 fixed over tomorrow and the weekend. Stealing is a bit bugged as well, so I'm also aiming to fix that. You aren't really supposed to be able to steal enough to leave the opponent unequipped.

I do think those are good inputs on the weapons, though. You raise a lot of good points, and I'll definitely give that some consideration. Perhaps a bit more balancing is in order.

Thanks for discussing these again! You've given me a lot to think about, and I'm really glad that you've had fun with the game. I'll be sure to update you once I've got the bugs fixed so that you can continue doing so!

I'm happy to give all the feedback! I've got thousands of hours of fond experience playing the GBA era fire emblem games, which bright blades seems to be something of a love letter to.

I think your decision to go away from durability is a strong one, and feels really in-line with the new-player friendly design approach you're taking. But it does put some tension on swords lances and axes specifically. I'm looking forward to what you end up doing with it : D

When I'm able to finish through the storyline I'll have my notes on that as well.

It warms my heart that this is a game being made.

Thank you again for all your lovely comments and constructive criticism. Insight like this is really valuable towards helping us to build a better game.

Saw your comment about Chapter 4's difficulty, too. That is quite a difficult level, it seems. Some have managed to get through, others have not, so I'll experiment with balancing it and see what happens.

In any case, I think I've found a fix for the bug in Chapter 19 and am hoping to release the next content update to fix it in the coming days, along with a few other adjustments I've made to the game since our initial release. Hope you're looking forward to it, and thanks again for your feedback!
