Hey! Nice game! I’m curious to know if you considered using a hex grid rather than a square grid for combat? And how do you think a hex grid would change the game mechanics and combat strategies? 

Developer

I didn't make it a hexgrid because I wanted the combat to feel small and for range to matter, even in a 4x4 space. With a hexgrid, many more spaces are adjacent or within range than a square grid, where diagonal spaces would be considered range 2. 

Thanks for replying so quickly, and Happy New Year!

When you choose your starting equipment and rune, the ones that you didn't select are gone forever right? Or, if you can swap things out, is that only possible at a particular point? e.g. at the sigil, or after leaving/re-entering a realm?

I'm basically wondering whether I can respec this poor idiot of mine or if I'm better off starting fresh with a new engraved XD

PS - Just got lost in the game for hours there and it really did give that soulsy feel in ways that I really wasn't expecting! In particular, going into a fight that I tiptoed through before and wrecking all the enemies while having pretty much the exact same build/gear - that felt like actually getting to know enemy patterns in souls games. Awesome work!

Developer

They are considered gone, as there are no other ways to earn them in the other realms. However, if you want to swap out or respec with some of the other starting equipment, I don't see any harm in trying it! You want to find that build that's the most fun for you before you dive deep.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! To be honest, I like the finality and hardcore approach - part of me really does want to see this character push through a bit more, so I'll persevere before 'starting a new save' XD

Ooh one more question if you don't mind: when you die/rest, only the fights are reset, correct? I'm wondering if search actions that yield consumable items are once-off, which my gut tells me they are.

(Mild spoilers for The Grim Coast below)

My character has: Great Axe, Basic Shield, Strider Boots, and Fate's Hunter. Pretty slow and needs a lot of good rolls! 2 points of Lore but my max health is at 8 now for reasons I'm sure you know...absolutely getting wrecked by the harder enemies I met and kinda loving it. Thanks!

So glad to hear you're enjoying the game! 

That's correct, only fights reset on death/rest.

Good luck on the Grim Coast!
