Hey, thanks for playing.
I'm not sure about the implementation of it. Your new system of "craft consumable once then you can equip them as many as you want" is not well explained (brimstone streamer had a problem with this and I had to tip him). Nioh has a similar system with magic/ninmpo(you prepare them than you recharge them when you rest at bonfires). You can refer to that for some more insight
I can't remember how Nioh explained it really, if at all. But I agree it could be better tutorialized. I haven't worried about it too much because players figure it out pretty quick normally.
I understand the idea to have a first zone like the great plateau, but with your stamina degeneration system makes it very very punishing. Since if you explore badly you can descover the crafting items for meat for last. And if you don't have meat your pacing is very reduced (again see rimstone stream)
Yep, absolutely agree. In the future I'm going to be modifying things so rations are for sure one of the first things you craft.
I am sorry to say that this rebuild of your tutorial/first zone seem a step froward and one back, because it's pacing it's entirely random on where the player will explore. Maybe at last meat craft should be part of the super corridor start of the tutorial zone.
Yeah I get that. Part of it for me at least is letting the players find tutorial tips through natural exploration. I'll be modifying placement of pamphlets for sure.
