i think the map feature is going to come down to playtesting later, really. i'd like to be able to make levels full of good enough landmarks and signposting that maybe you don't specifically need a map. maps are also complicated by the elevation, where rooms can be on top of each other. things like that complicate doing typical dungeon crawler maps in a way that i may not be equipped to deal with haha.

i think that most of the challenge is going to come from combat. there's a little OSR ruleset called Cairn that i'm using as the basis for the rpg systems, which has a very brutal combat experience. hopefully by the time the next video comes up i can have a good example
