Agreed. I also stumble accidentally in my backpack even though I only wanted to equip the lamp or so. I turned the equipment speed to slow which helped a bit but handling inventory could be better - especially those items that you'll need to survive and equip real fast.

Thank you for the quick response. It's great to see developers respond to user input in such a fashion.

For the quick select, I still think the ideal way would be a single key press that has immediate results. Switching guns for example during a fight is almost impossible under the current setup (without taking hits while doing it). Combo button presses would be better but still less than ideal. It seems like to have 5 buttons to open up the inventory is just overkill. Maybe having the select button as the inventory and then having 4 assignable quick slots for the up/down/left/right would be the best. Just my 2 cents.

Just a little more input as I am going along.

1) I think items needed to progress should be "auto-used" when needed. I was in the mine and found the fuse, but when going back to the fuse box, nothing happens when using the activate button. You litterally have to open up your inventory, then your back pack, then select the fuse. I think some player would totally miss these steps. Also the addition of multiple inventory presses doesn't add anything to the gameplay, rather I think it would be annoying if I wouldn't have figured this out immediatly.

It's kind of like, if I pick up a key, I want my character to use it on the chest automatically. I don't want to go through and have to select the obvious and only appropriate action.

2) The GPS. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a novelty or actually something useful. I don't really understand the function as it doesn't provide directional information in a plateformer environment. It would be cooler if you could use it for directional purposes. For example, you find the coordiantes of an item. Activating the GPS would give you a directional arrow on the screen on which way to go to find it. Just a thought.

3) Inventory Management. I think the backpack and inventory screen shoult be merged. There is not much point in having two seperate inventory screens. Especially when there are useable items restricted to both menues. If you want to keep the backpack, maybe have only non-usable items in there. Also, the tent really needs to be in the primary inventory screen as that is one of the most common items I use. Going to the backpack adds an unnecessary step.

Your game has just been released, you are one person only, you are constantly trying to patch things and be active here in the forums and now you are also telling us that you actually love to program additional stuff?

That's it. You cannot be a real developer - you have to be a bot ;)

Just joking but I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your feedback and your enthusiasm. That's one thing why I will try to get better in the game as well :)

Again, thanks for being such a responsive developer.

Any thoughts of putting fast travel check points in? With the world being so open I really feel like I miss things and sometimes I'm lost as to where to go next. I was just in the mines, went up the elevator and headed left. I got the miner's hat but was unable to go back down into the mines as the first elevator was destroyed and I couldn't make the jump back to the right (where the miner's hat was located). I have a feeling I may have missed something there (maybe I'm wrong). Regardless, I'm kind of lost as I'm not sure what to do next and despite exploring a large portion of the game, not sure where to go. I've back tracked all the way into the first caves to see if I missed anything but to no avail. Some fast travel checkpoints would be very helpful in a game like this where the next destination is really not clear.

Ok, I was able to do it. I have to say that without you telling me that box moved with the conveyor, I would never of guessed it.

The laser site works great now, I can actually see it! Great addition.

I also like the addition of the quick item select. Definitely saves a lot of time.

Brandon, Hi, I'm aware you're one man band and honestly I'm blown away by the game and absolutely love it so far. I just found the GPS. That's where I am.

I don't have a bug to report but would suggest that seeming though you can lock the player to not move while throwing, could you not do the same while lying down? I'd like the option to lock my player while lying down as I'm playing on a gamepad.

Other than that, I think what you've bought together here is amazing and I wish you tons of success with the game on every platform.

Quick item select is a great add.
