[2010] My feedback compilation from first session
« on: April 01, 2010, 10:54:19 pm »

Loving the release so far! Here's a list of problems I jotted down while playing:

 - ESC used too much. Liked Space for accept and Shift+space for cancel. Changed "Leave screen" back to "Space" as this meant I wouldn't have to constantly move my hand to the top left corner of the keyboard.

 - Skills; "Not concentration" -- change to "Not able to concentrate" or "Not concentrating" or "Poor attention span" or something

 - Too many colours on description screen -- suggest reducing the contrast and leaving them tones of only one or more colour, like grey, white and green. Traits shouldn't be two different colours.

 - Love the new V key unit screen, with the shortened list of jobs and the filter for skills (is there a way to just hit for example "Farming/Related" and just activate all those jobs at once?)

 - I don't think "Profile requires manager" should be red, it's a bit too distracting. What about dark grey?

 - Phrasing of military screen "alert", "put squad on alert". I couldn't figure out what these meant. Change to "Alert level" or "Alert status" and "Put squad on this alert level" or something.

 - Set "n" to "name alert" and another key to Uniforms?

 - Create easy/fine/lavish meal no longer have hot keys

Keep up the good work, having lots of fun so far :)

Sounds like a lot of these would benefit from being proper bug reports, since they're not really suggestions.
