First let me just say thank you for such a wonderful game!
Secondly, I love all the new content! I really didn't want to have to start a new game just to see it, but once I unlocked the diary pages and started reading I decided to bite the bullet and being a fresh game - and I'm so glad that I did! The diary pages are awesome, but seeing the scenes that inspire them is a must.
But that brings me to a quality of life suggestion. The M&S game play is like watch a scene, read the new diary page; watch a scene, read the new diary page; etc. This was great for level 1. But as soon as I advanced them to level 2 it became watch a scene, open the diary, select M or S, *go to their current level*, read the new page; repeat... Not major, but by the time I was into level 3 I was wishing that when you open the diary and click on M or S it would just open to their current level. By level 4 I was digging around in the code to find a way to make it happen.
Once I found where it is hard coded to Level=1 I found I could change that single number to the current level and everything got just that much easier and less grindy, and the diary still functioned as intended. When they progressed to level 5 I just saved and closed the game, made the change, and started again and all was great. But here's my suggestion. Could you code it so that it just uses the variable that holds their current level so it always opens to what ever it is? I'm not sure what it is or I'd have tried that change myself. But it you could do it I just think it would make the game go a bit more smoothly and we could get to those new pages even faster! Yay!
Again, thank you for all your work on this very enjoyable game! Cheers!!
PS. Looking forward to the next version!
