But here's a handful off quality of life stops along the way:
- Have Esc open the settings menu. That's like the number one rule of PC gaming...
- Have a second press of the map button close the map instead of Esc.
- If your engine allows it make it so players can assign keys to move the camera around the area with the keyboard (WASD/arrows/etc.)
- Enable the first tactics setup by default - why would anyone want to skip their first turn?
- The pathfinding AI needs to be able to get to any point of the current map when you click on it.
- Even though your assets are limited try to shuffle around the places where events happen. It's really weird to have the same house "owned" by half a dozen npcs for the purposes of different quests...
- Revise that UI. Go check some other oldschool titles for inspiration. Then revise it again.
See you in a few months time. Hopefully you can make the game flow better by then,
All best! ^^
