Not gonna lie, I'm very impressed. Graphics are stunning and gameplay is very smooth. Game does need some bug fixes but it's nothing too serious.
Main bugs that I found were
(Walking up and down hills is glitchy)
(The menu at the start of the game doesn't turn off, maybe I just couldn't find a way to turn it off🤣)
I suggest making a main menu for the game.
Overall I really like it and I'm impressed.
Hello Dmitrij, Thank you for your positive appraisal. I really appreciate it.
Could you be more specific on the "glitchy" walking up and down hills? On really steep hills/mountains you do need to repeatedly press the space bar, as though jumping up the mountainside. Otherwise, I am not sure what you are referring to.
I am also not sure what menu you are talking about. 'H' turns the quest objectives on and off, and 'K' turns off the theme song attribution. Otherwise I don't know what menu there is that you couldn't turn off.
You are right that it should have a main menu for new game, load/save, etc. You have to quit and re-start the game to start a new game. It automatically saves the game upon the completion of each quest, and you can only load that save when you start up.
