Hey Wilboo,

Any chance you will add a map and secrets completion rate? So we will know if we found everything in a given area and walked throgh every path. The in-game map isn't very precise and it's hard to tell if we have visited every single hole in the area or not.

there're too many secrets to identify all secrets

+1 for this idea, maybe a final purchasable upgrade for the map that unlocks late in the game? Adds % completion values to the map for exploration and another value for items collected.

Yeah, could work too. Today I made a random walk through Greenpath, and I found an Ore bank...

Also, could the Brightness setting save between sessions? So after launching a game it won't reset to 195% but it will stay the value I set previous time.

I hate to keep bringing this up but the background detail in Deepnest is still lost in the Lifeblood update. Since the old version isn't available any more I can't compare the other areas, but it might be effecting more then just Deepnest.

Have you tried changing blur strength?

You mean the "Blur Quality" option? There is no blur "strength" option and the quality option doesn't fix it.

You know, I kinda like the second one. The softness of the background seems to accentuate the shaprness of the foreground details more.

What does still bug me is the blood splatter physics and colour adjustment.

I'm gonna have to agree. This one is not really major, and seems intentional. They are just blurring some weaker detail in the background.

I would also like a dev response on the blood splatter, because that looked way better before.

I think everyone even would respect devs decision if they try to explain us why they did it.. But I think They are focusing just in the Switch version and the new content ..and then I hope they will do the graphical balance.. or will tell us something about this..
