Our Biggest Feature / Fix Priorities
- PS5 Save Data Transfer from Demo to Full Game (optional for those who want to use it).
- We've noticed the PS4 version crashing more often than we'd like—This is due to the device's memory issues, and we are investigating a fix as soon as we can.
- We plan on bumping the maximum quests from 5 to 10, 12, or 15 soon.
- Some of the grammar and word-based Kanban have long-enough sentences that it makes it hard to read on a smaller screen. We will be adjusting the UI for this.
- We are currently working on a proper fix to increase Inventory and Storage capacities for Material and Resource items.
- We are working to ensure that L3 / 1 can be used in any menu.
- We are working so that existing R3 / CTRL keybinds are changed and the R3 / CTRL keybind allows for display-changing across all four display types in any menu (like the Item Compendium menu).
- We've heard reports that the Tsuri (Fishing) minigame may not work properly, or the inputs are not clear enough, for certain PC players. We are investigating this.
- We got a request to add a new menu to the Party Menu that allows for players to revisit some of the lengthier lore displayed in the Loading Screens. We're considering implementing this.
- Lighting issues (areas are too bright) for a small subset of computers, specifically in labyrinths during Dusk and Night (sometimes Dawn), but also sometimes on the Nation Map.
- D-pad movement, especially with controller, as well as keyboard-only movement, can be slow and laggy, and not fun for dungeon-crawlers who are more accustomed to D-pad movement (instead of the L-stick, which currently is the smoothest working solution).
Thank you so much for playing Shujinkou.
We will be focusing on refining the experience based on player feedback so that Shujinkou can become as refined of a JRPG as it can be.
