Suggestion for features especially for new game+

[HoboForEternity]

i just finished the game, and thinking of starting new game+ run. the problem is the walking speed and travelling speed is too slow. it was exciting the first time around, but after 20+ hours it gets tiring having you to sail over and over again. i wish i have run button or instant travel button (not just to cities, but to sites too) or something that speed up your gameplay.

I'd be a big fan of having Six / autonavigation more widely available and removing restrictions on travelling to Renaki or Elboreth freely, especially for NG+. I want to just be able to set sail, and chose any point as a destination, or none at all.

As for the walking speed, El supposedly has asthma or some sort of major lung problem...and she tends to go exploring places without a lot of vegetation or breathable air left.

I'd like to have an inventory of artifacts and what conclusions or relationships they have to a site. The timeline is one view, but it's not the same thing as showing the player the list of artifacts related to a particular site/moon/whatever.

I also thnk the travel should be better or become optional at some point even without NG+. It's getting bothersome in the end as you spend a very long time doing "nothing", sure there are some discussion tidbits, but unless we can really speed up our ship it's not bringing that much.

I was interested at the point she asked Six if he could sail the ship and he answered affirmatively, thinking, great now maybe I'll have some autopilot, but then it was not that.

Also it would be very very important in my opinion to update the dialog to have some color code, or the name of the person talking, it's all white so when at some point you are more than 2 on the sip, it can be difficult to follow the dialog., it's not that much an issue when exploring as there is the line to the character. But while flying, it's really not good to have no distinction.

I think the slower pace of this game is a feature that can't (and shouldn't) be patched away, the relaxing music in the rivers and the lots of dialogues in land exploration are (at least for me) what make this game go from "boring" to immersive and with time I've really learned to appreciate traveling with the nightingale, but again this could just be taste.

It think it would be a good solution if Six could navigate to any location once you have been navigated there by yourself.
Also when setting a route, I would like to have two options: "Shortest route" and an option that weighs unknown rivers higher than known rivers.

I'm all for a relaxed pace of game if that's what I'm interested in, but also I think it's alright (and preferable) for a game to respect my time if I'd like to choose to skip the padding.

I think (the option of) faster walking and fast travel for the ship would improve the game quite a lot (and I think the game is great.)

We think so too, and are working on something very much like this. More soon.

i would not mind if the "fast" option is only available for new game+

it is mere annoyance for 1st playtrough, but for new game+ at the very least, some way to skip some of the padding would be great. and to be honest, most people who plan to play the game a second time is just to finish / see the translation they couldn't figure the first time trough and maybe pick other choices. exploring the nebula was cool, but ultimately it isn't really the meat of the game.

but yeah, it's cool the people at inkle are listening
