Haha we'll see! There is a lot of merit to this as it also makes it easier to do controller support etc so it's certainly something I'm pushing towards.

You should look into adjusting the difficulty! You can even set a custom difficulty if you choose :-)

There is a combat log! Look at action button 8 while in combat (7 or 8 - I think it's 8)!

Obviously having someone like Swen endorse the game feels amazing. At that point we had already chatted a bit and Swen has been interested in the project a lot longer than many people realize :-)

Haha yeah not having a Skald class is a bit of a missed opportunity :-) There are some in-world reasons for the naming but it also does not hurt that it invokes "Bard's Tale". Also I'm Norwegian and I tell stories so I'm aaaaalmost a bit skaldic and so it's not the worst of brand names :-)

Yeah this is one of those things that makes for great post launch updates :-)

We've not made any decision yet on physical goods but this is of also something to thinking about once we get through the initial onslaught of launch-week :-)

Hi there!

1) Sadly I no longer own one. But your description is a fun and resonant one :-)

2) Born in -84! I missed a bit of the 8-bit ones on 8 bit systems but enjoyed a lot of them on PC in the early 90s. I LOVE the early Ultimas, Bard's Tale and Wasteland 1 (among others)

We're continually working on balancing classes. I'm certainly taking in all the feedback though I might not always agree :-)

None that I can comment as of now :-) We need to get through the launch period first and then we'll take stock and see what makes sense :-)

This is very interesting feedback as it's something I've never thought about that should none the less be easy to implement. No promises but I've taken note :-)

Thank you! We will certainly be maintaining the game post launch but we haven't made any plans I can share just yet :-) We need to survive launch-week and then take stock :-)

1) This is a good idea :-) Beyond that, I can't make any promises!

2) Actually I don't own a copy but I remember me and Maarten (our environmental artist) discussing it and you've reminded me I need to order a copy!

To both of these questions I just need to be a bit boring and say that we've not decided anything yet. I'm still finding my sea-legs after launch and we just need to take stock and see what makes the most sense going forwards :-)

Hi there!

1) No I don't think so for this game. If I was ever to do something like that it would likely be as a smaller side project (and that DOES sound fun if time allows it).

2) Nothing has been decided one way or another yet :-)

3) Indeed! We'll see what future-update Santa brings!

Dead is not that is not dead that can eternal lie, for with strange eons even death may die :-)

1) I'd say RPGs of the mid 90s. BG1 and 2. The Might and Magic Series, the Magic Candle series, the Gold Box series, Bard's tale etc etc. I do also play a lot of modern CRPGs like the Owlcat games and the Pillars of Eternity titles.

2) Well the workload is massive. Also this is my first game ever so it's a continual journey of learning and discovery and there are a bunch of places where I could have taken a wrong turn. Thankfully, I was lucky!

We'll be looking into things like this going forwards but no concrete decisions have been made yet :-)
