1. the default keys are really tough to learn; changing into some other better set is a pain. I'm actually trying to map the keys to the set used in night of revenge were a, s, d, w and space get the MC to move, but it would be cool if the fire button was on the mouse. Also it would be cool if you could slide down with double left or double right.
I'll look into this, may be a way to do it but no promises.
2. occasional bugs. i can't get past the fat dude even after I'm done with his lines because no portal opens.
Can you be more specific? There are a few fat dudes (Lieutenant and Louie) and each has a few different scenes. Let me know which one exactly and I'll look into it.
3. eventually i get lost on the map and i start running in circles. a better map would help more, as the forest looks more or less the same everywhere.
Have you tried the 'map' feature by pressing 'm' during the game? I agree the never-ending forest is hard to navigate, which is why I added the map.
Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate the suggestions.
