I can't even use my lantern.

[Lord of the Naughty Buns]

WHat is up with this imitation 2d minecraft game? I start out in a dark room with a lantern. The lantern will not light.

[Fulano]

You put the lantern in the light slot, in the bottom left of the character screen, or you can make torches out of wood and put those everywhere too.

They do need to make it a little more clear about the lantern's use.

[Nakos]

Yeah ... the lantern's an equipable that makes a weak passive glow.

Visibility is an element of gameplay, you don't get it for free.

You can make a Torch, you can carry one in your hand, and it'll light up your surroundings. You can PLACE it (on the ground or on a wall) and it'll provide light in that location (unless something destroys it).

You can eat food that will provide a glow effect. You can also build stronger lanterns later on (with higher level resources).

But yeah, a lot of the time Visibility is going to be an issue.

There's also a shortcut key to pull out a torch to temporarily increase brightness... I don't know which one, I think it was shift maybe?
