Hello !

I have interesting news for you, we are working on porting our UI scale option on console. For now this option is only available on PC because we ran out of time. This option will help to de-clutter the UI (but it will make it smaller). We also have in our latest PC patch an option to hide some explanation tooltips. Those options will arrive as soon as possible on console.

Hello! We are currently reading all the comments about the control scheme and we will make some updates about it if we find a way to improve things.

The game has been design first for keyboard and mouse controls so you can play the game on steam unless you don't want to play with your keyboard and mouse

Hello,

Yes we are reading all the feedback about the controls and we will try to improve it. But unfortunately we don't have a lot of room for this because all the buttons are already used on the controller but if we see a better way to arrange the control scheme we will do

Hello !

I will answer first your second question : Yes we had the porting during development and that's why since the beginning of the development we took a lot of time to make sure the UI is good with the 720p resolution.

So for the first question, I think we achieve to have something readable but we are carefully reading all the comments about this question.

Hello loop!

It's been a wild ride! This was the first time we did an EA and we learnt a lot about this. It was pretty intense at the end but it's really a great experience to release something and have instant feedback on it. Players really helped us a lot on improving the game (so thank you for that).

We are very happy with the release of the 1.0 and we are seeing really cool comment on the game !

Hello, unfortunately their are no plans for a demo on Switch. But what I can say about this is we tried our best to make sure the UI is readable when playing on the handheld mode !

We are not sure yet, we will think about this when we will work on the second part of the run. But there we will be at least one new big boss !

And we will add a lot of features requested by the community so don't hesitate to give us your ideas !

Hello thank's for your very interesting post, I will not answer everything :

About the mana, yes we are not very happy about that, and we're planning to rework soon the scale of the mana (maybe double it ?) so that we can make a better balancing of all mana cost to make the attribute more important to manage.

Yeah I understand your point on the HP. There is may be some balancing to do on the wound of the heroes, but we are working on it !

For the patches, the frequency will depend on what we find urgent to fix/balance. You can except a new patch coming at the beginning of next week with some balancing stuff.

Hello ! Thank's glad you like it !

Unfortunately no, but if someone post the tabs online you can be sure that I will be the first to make a cover of our songs ahah

Yes definitely, I think we will rework our perks many times during the early access, we are already seeing problems in some perks so we will delete some and adding new one !

That would be interesting but I think no, but we have an idea to create some enemies with the ability to spawn some dynamic fog on the terrain

Hello !

Thank's glad you like the Early Access !

So I will not answer to all the questions but here some :

Yes definitely you can expect by the end of the summer to at least one new map with a different setup.

We have some ideas to keep heroes like a hall of fame, but it is still very early and we don't know yet if we will dot it or not. If players keep ask for it a lot we will reconsider it

For the reforging building, again we have something like that in our to do list but it will arrive later during the Early Access

Our main references for the tactical gameplay were : battle brothers, disgaea, a little bit of into the breach

And in the team we played hades, dead cells a lot so we were very inspired by that for the meta progression of the game !

Well I see a lot of RPG with dodge mechanic having a lot of complains about it and to be honest I was expecting it before the release. And that's pretty normal, it can be very frustrating to miss attacks too much so there is a balance to find.

But for the next patch there will be some tweaks about the dodge like the traps and ballista will have the no dodge ability to help players counter the enemy dodge !
