Pause and keys for switching characters?

[Etel]

Hi, this game looks really interesting, but i must admit i got very confused at the first real combat.

Is there a way to pause even if the bar is not full? Would help to get an overview of the situation.

Is there hotkeys to switch between party members? Or just point and click?

Thank you.

Hi! Thank you for the feedback. We've had some other players in favor of pausing at any point (even if the bars aren't full). We'll be adding that into a coming patch, I'll see if we can get it into the one going out this evening!

Hotkeys will definitely be getting in for character swapping, we'll be defaulting those to 1-4 but they can be switched around in the Options menu. We'll be getting to that with a quality-of-life update soon. You can mouse-wheel to flick through them now, based off bottom-left position to top-right depending on how they are arranged on screen.

Hi, those changes sounds good! I got used to limitation on pause a bit it, but I still think a general pause would be good, especially for new players getting accustomed to this kinda unique style of combat.

Really like the game so far :)

Hey thanks so much for the kind words! Yeah it's a very casually paced arpg that you kind of have to get in the right vibe with, I hear you though.

We actually spearheaded getting pause-anytime in after your suggestion and are playing with it in now, it's working well! The only thing it doesn't allow for is spamming the dome button while the action bar is filling to open it as quickly as available, which isn't necessarily an integral part of the design but a consideration.

We'll be doing verification tests this afternoon and it should be in the next patch in any case!

Looking forward to trying it out! :)

Edit: Trying it out now, feels very good :)
