Here are the results of the open game play / grind / difficulty poll. Thanks to everyone, who contributed:

Top requested items

Rank 1: I want real action with Irith: 48%

Rank 2: Searching every room is tedious.: 16%

Rank 3: Bombs/Oil/Purple gems are too scarce: 10%

Surprisingly, 0% of partcipants thought (a) daily bathing routine grind or (b) guild payment grind is too much.

26% said, the amount of grind overall is about right for the reward.

What's next:

Items 2.) and 3.) are addressed with V0.5 (searchable supply chest, more placed gems in dungeon) released 10.07. on patreon. Incidentally, bath routine can be delegated to Nyx from V0.5 as well.

Item 1.) feedback is a reason for me, to advance matters with Irith and not push this off to the endgame. In V0.5.1 end of July on patreon there will be (story compatible) first scene(s) and then expanded step by step to the next updates.

I hope above changes make the game a better experience.
