Total and complete amateurs. I'll bet none of their programmers have ever used a low level programing language or written more than 100,000 lines of code in their lives. All the really good programmers are dead. These guys are dead too, just in a different way. They'll NEVER get it fixed.
The game is a bit difficult at first but if you let yourself go and turn off the tv it's an absorbing game. Old D&D rules. With CO8 and Temple+ (takes only a couple of minutes to install both) this game really shines. Path finding could be a little better but doesn't really create a problem. And the build options are numerous. Advice: try to make it to level 2 before taking on any of the real baddies. Talk to everybody. Go in the houses to talk. The villagers don't roam very much. Make use of the flag notes. There should be enough quests in the village to get you to level 2 without getting killed. It's a fun, laid back game that doesn't push you towards the main questline like so many games in this genre. Enjoy.
It's good. You just need to persist a bit, make some money, build better engines, fishing poles, nets, ets. Plenty to do. Plenty of side missions so far. A good tight game that should appeal to many. It's a strange mix between relaxed and horror. Have fun.
This thing runs like a dream on my Dell laptop. 10th gen I7, 32 gb of ram and Gforce RTX 2070. I can't get enough of it. It's been 10 or 12 years since played it last. Some of the DLC I've never played. Can't wait to get to that. So I'm very happy with the 7 dollar expenditure. :)
