Also any news on warping to cleared mission areas to get back after death. The long walk back gets boring fast.

New warp mechanics in general are coming in the next month, but we have a lot of things in air at the moment -- thanks for your patience on that.

No problem this latest update is feeling really good still some rough edges but it's starting to come together. The coloured fonts seem to add something too.

[x4000]

Thanks!  And yeah, I still need more with the colored fonts in the tooltips in particular, but in general that really makes it feel a lot more pleasant to play, I think.

It certainly captures a certain je ne sai quoi reminiscent of zelda or JRPGs.

[x4000]

Yeah, that's more or less the idea -- it's the "modern usability."

Even with things like textbooks and such these days, that is used to great effect, I've noticed.

Reached level 93 on my first continent looking forward to the next one. What is the plan with caves? As I never seem to have a need to explore underground anymore and at one time that was all I did to level up.

[x4000]

There will be some missions that take place in caves, and you'll be able to find secret missions in caves more often than one the surface.  And possibly some other things, too, although that's getting into more TBD territory.
