(We seem to have hit the limit for nested replies, so I’m just replying to the deepest one it’ll let me. )

Alright, I’ll do a bit of digging during the next build cycle and see if I can find a way to speed these explore/rest type things up. It’s going to come down to whether or not I can find a bug though probably: Demon’s AI and pathing are already about as opimizied as I know how to make ‘em (I knew they’d be a risk for the project with all the group combat going on), so unless I’ve just bungled something and haven’t caught it, there may be a short limit on what I can do here.

No problem re: responding to feedback. Indeed, I thank you for leaving it for me to respond to: it helps me make the game even better. I’m glad you’re having a good time.

Whoops. Missed you down here, nested replies threw me off.

I’m glad you like the new sprites. As for splash art, it’d definitely be nice. Maybe we’ll get a volunteer for that too at some point (It took me this long just to get decent at 32×32, no way I would be of any use on bigger images myself unfortunately.)

Speed them up, please! Thanks for responding to my feedback by the way. You’ve made a brilliant game!

Hmm… could be? I do know they are slow initially if the party has any active effects or (in the case of resting) if it has any auto healing behavior to throw through the AI. They also would speed up a bit as you go through the level (less enemies to do pathing for each auto turn)

So, just to clarify what you wanted: do you want an option to slow them down, or should I be looking for a bug to fix to speed them up?

(Also, FYI, this will be build after next either way. This negotiation+sprite build’s already drug on a bit more than I like.)

I’ve noticed they start slow and speed up the longer you wait/explore – maybe this is something to do with my computer?

I like the new sprites, more stylized look. Wouldn’t mind some splash art, like Stone Soup does, too.

Yeah, there will be an option for switching back to the old sprites if you prefer them.

As far as wait+explore speed, do you mean you want to be able to slow them down? They currently go as quickly as possible, but I could optionally throttle them if that’s something you want.

Could you add an option to use the old sprites please? I loved the old sprites!

Also, if you could implement some kind of option for wait+explore speed, that would be great.
