Per dev on the Character coins: Artur Smiarowski [developer] Hehe, this is a common concern. At this time, and for a few months, it will remain until I can show you all my whole vision for what I would like to build with it. Then we'll run a devpoll so I can see what everyone thinks, and we'll decide whether to rollback to sprites, allow them through modding, or double down on what I want to build. So for now, let's call it an indie experiment that will last for some time. :)

Yeah splat a few months ago I was letting the dev know I didn't enjoy the character coins either. He replied saying that he wanted the characters faces to be easier to see and remember. Because making relationships with characters in game was an important part. Also this would help him create larger characters in a more consistent way (just a bigger coin). But he said once people start modding, people would change how character are displayed one day. He also said our feedback would help him as the game keeps improving.

I'm wondering about the roguelike mode. Can you do something like found a kingdom and your goal is to conquer the world? You can start with a specific family and every time you die you must pick a character that's in that family which includes people that you already know and might have helped. For example, you're a king that raises a family and each time you die you pick to play as one of your children which you would have helped raise. Now that would be interesting. Sort of a more sophisticated Rogue Legacy in a different genre.

@@Bill_Garthright - Buying skills from NPCs only increases your maximum potential level in the skill, not the current level of the skill. So it's a huge grind to get that first level or two so that you can actually craft stuff, and there's no shortcut through it that I've found. Also, I think that means that if you're interested in Pyromancy, you *have* to take it as one of your chosen skills. Most skills allow you to grind up your first level, whether it be breaking down equipment that you find (Tailoring, Blacksmithing, Weaponcrafting), using a weapon in combat (all fighting abilities) or flinging yourself off of a hill repeatedly (Athletics). But the only way to increase Pyromancy is by using Pyromancy in combat.

@@Bill_Garthright - My favourite start is probably Pyromancy, Adventuring, and Weaponcrafting - starting with a hammer. pickaxe, and waterskin. All of the combat skills are fairly easy to level up as soon as you pick up an applicable weapon type or shield, but I find that what is *hard* in this game is getting ahold of tools. With weaponcrafting, as soon as you can afford to buy some metal ingots, you can craft right from the start: - A knife for butchering corpses for vital food and bones/leather - A 1-handed bone axe for cutting down trees to get wood for craft-leveling your Adventuring skill - Tailor tools, for when you've broken down enough stuff to get your 1st level of Tailor or Leatherworking - A sickle, which lets you harvest wheat and cotton The only real tool that you can't craft at the beginning (and which is RIDICULOUSLY hard to get your hands on in general) is the pickaxe, because it's gated behind Lv16 Weaponcrafting. Which means that most of the toolmakers you meet out in the world don't have the skill to craft it. But if you start with Adventuring, you can have that and a waterskin right at the start. BTW, the easiest way that I've found to get that first level of carpentry and armourcrafting is to wait until you've got a couple of hundred $$$, find an NPC craftsman, and commission them to make about 20 of the cheapest thing that they know how to make, using the cheapest materials. Waiting to encounter that many things for you to break down out in the wild to earn your first level so that you can start crafting things to gain EXP can take a really long time.
