I saw this over on steam and thought I would copy/paste it so you guys had a better chance of responding to it -

DAWNSTAR ISN'T FINISHED!
So I picked up Dawnstar from gamersgate and gave it a whirl. All I can say is that this game -- is in BAD shape. Developers, I hope you're reading this, because you REALLY, REAALLY need the following below in order to make this game BETTER.

1) IN GAME OPTIONS MENU! - When you hit escape, all you get is Main Menu, and Quit. I've had to quit the game several times in order to remember certain controls, or to change them, and that's ANNOYING AS ♥♥♥♥.

2) NOT ALL THE KEYBINDS ARE IN THE KEYBIND SECTION! - There is no loot key to pick up loot in the options menu (AT THE MAIN SCREEN...).

3) THE ACTUAL KEYBIND SCREEN IS CONFUSING AND UNREADABLE - You need to have the keybinds set in catagories to make it easier for us to understand. You have it all completely randomly down a row, as if it were RUSHED.

4) WHY IS THERE 2 KEYBIND SCREENS IN AND OUT OF GAME?! - Seriously, FIX THIS.

5) THE SLIDER FOR AUDIO IS TERRIBLE - Not only that, but if you turn OFF the music, it also cuts out the sound as well (even though there's a sound slider!)

6) THE RESPAWN TIMER LOOKS BAD - //00:00// <-- FIX THAT.

7) GO BACK AND READ ALL OF THIS AGAIN TO MAKE SURE YOU GET IT!

I mean in all seriousness, it's a neat game, and the combat is cool, along with the story so far (from what I've played.) But it's practically unplayable do to it's options menu not being present while I play. I have to reset my mission just to try and find out why none of my keybinds are looting items.

5.5\10 until these issues are addressed and implimented..

For the time being we're currently uploading 1.03 which fixes several other bugs, once 1.03 is out we'll move on to other recommendations.

Editted it for you, but either way not a big deal.

Adding an ingames keybinds menu, making it easier to read, tweaking the audio sliders, and checking all keybinds for 1.04.

Ah, thanks for moving my post from steam to here lol (i'm space)

For a second, I was like "what happened to my discussion *grumble grumble* but then reading the comments... ya..

So really, you've blown my mind. I was laying down some pretty harsh criticism, and you guys really took it as "ok we'll look in to all of this, and try to make it better for you." and now I freakin feel bad like I should posted with less frustration ;_; . No really, you guys are doing a great thing here, and you've surprised me. From now on, my future complaints will be more like suggestions instead, and i'll approach these suggestions in a mood that suites your optimism.

My apologies! And keep doing what you're doing! This is great stuff here!

Cheers!
