Added "Cake Mode", which not only disables hunger, but also gives +60 max HE to party members, and allows full party heal on rest (achievements disabled of course).
There is still "Easy Mode", which only disables hunger for those who don't like a ticking clock, but still want challenging combat.
My friend IRL refused to play it with hunger mechanics because he says it's like having to take a shit in a game, but I disagree. He also refused to play Brigand until I renamed "clips" to "magazines".
I usually don't like ticking clocks, but you can leave the game paused to relax and think, and time management is a big part of the game design. Later chapters (3 to 5) have enemy forces build up to make the finales harder the longer you wait. I'd like some balancing notes on that.
