demo continuation and stat references

[Wave Guy]

I have played through the demo twice now, and will probably be getting the game soon. However, I have a couple of concerns going into the game. The first concern I have is whether the full game will allow me to continue my saves from the demo, which I know I have done successfully with other steam games before. My second concern is with having certain information available and referable. Some of this has to do with what stat symbols mean what, but this is mostly about the sort of enemy killing achievement meal things. What I am talking about is where for an example you kill 30 Grimelins and you get a free meal at the meat guy that says it slightly improves your initiative. does the full game have some sort of menu or system for showing you the permanent bonuses you have thus far from these meals? you can get repeat meals, so do their effects stack?

Hi, Wave Guy! Thank you for your good questions. I'm glad you're enjoying the demo.

1) Yes, your demo save games should work when you get the full game.

2) Some game information shows, some does not. Short answer: I did not find a clear way to explain/show how some stat numbers work - e.g., initiative - and therefore used phrases such as "slightly improves" to give the gist. I don't think there are too many stats like this - most stats I was able to show to the player in some way. (I wanted to have a stat page, it just didn't work out in the end. Perhaps in a later update.) All repeat effects should stack, unless stated otherwise.

If you hover over these symbols in the combat gallery (lower right), it should give you brief help text:

Magenta Crosshair = Aim Bonus
Teal Arrow = Mobility Bonus
Blue Tri-Arrows = Dodge Chance
Skull Crosshair = Critical Hit Chance
Shield = Damage Reduction
Star = Special Ability Chance Bonus

I hope this addresses your concerns, and I also hope you get the full game and have a blast with it! If you do, please head over to the Discord server and share about your experience or ask any further questions. I'm also here on Steam to answer any further questions you might have.

I kept assuming that there would be a tooltip for the symbols in the bottom right, but nothing ever showed up.

I totally understand, as that would have been the best way to do it!
