They said that changing the font would be too difficult. Maybe if they make enough sales after the patch though they could look into it.
Oh come on

I wouldn't say they are strictly inferior. A good 10 AP rifle build is decent enough, you can score 20+ damage crits and kill far away enemies that a melee build would have to run up to first. I was able to 1 or 2-shot enemies before they ever got their first turn quite often. Explorer starts with a rifle and a bit of .223, the shop has a decent supply of .223 ammo and restocks 5 more from time to time. You will kinda struggle with money at first if you shoot a lot, but you will quickly end up swimming in cigs anyways. You would be best off with a mix of melee and ranged in your party.

I'm pretty sure that's a Unity thing. Sunless Sea eventually added font scaling, for example.

Its interesting how game went from mixed reviews to very positive on Steam in a short amount of time, without any patches or improvements xD

To be fair they did release a couple of patches that took care of some of the most obnoxious glitches. If it had shipped with a glitch-free beginning, it would have been far better received (most people don't complete games)
Do you know, by chance, where can I contact the developers directly?

You have Scrawled right here on the 'dex.
Yeah, and he (?) is obviously not answering.

You might try sending him a private message. Maybe he has email notifications turned on for PMs.

It'll take a day or two. You could drop them a mail.

Quick tip, you might want to dial back the "Hey devs! Fuck you! Do what I say! You suck if you don't fix my one thing! I hate you! Why don't you answer???????????"

I am seriously not touching the game until they fix the font size. It's the smallest in any RPG.

If anyone is curious about what is going to be changed:
Without further ado, here’s a list of New Features and Major Overhauls that will be present in 1.1:
I am currently helping with QA for the upcoming patch, so if anyone has questions about it I am happy to answer. But essentially, the game feels a lot more responsive and smooth, and the frequent freezing and blocker bug issues seem to have all been eradicated. If it had released in this state, it would most likely have had a much more positive reception. I still think that overall it is a pretty good RPG in the Fallout/Arcanum vein and will be worth checking out if you were on the fence because of the reported issues.

- Considerably increased Combat Speed
- Character Profiles

- Combat Hit Probability Indicator to screen your to hit chance in battle scenarios

There are additional perks and crafting recipes. Unfortunately, spell enhancement got the chop. As for the rest, it might be referring to bug fixes, because I haven't noticed significant mechanical changes, but that might be something only a dev can answer.

Wait, does that mean they cut a feature that was already in? I recall being able to enhance spells with items.

Yes, it was in originally, but it got removed because it was a source of a lot of bugs that they weren't able to fix. I quite enjoyed the enhancements, it certainly made Occultism more viable in combat. Now it's only good in stealth builds.
