Map?

I recommend not making a map but maybe allowing u to view the map on the wall in tavern better. It does show the roads to the different areas but it doesn’t have labels anywhere. Also check key bindings. “T” allows you to show the hud to see other players. That took me a while to find.

The game world is quite small, and the merchant has a large map of the area. Perhaps it is worth allowing players to explore the map in more detail when clicking and marking key places and putting their own marks (there is a cave, there is a witch doctor, there is an orc camp, and so on).

This is very basic yet will improve the game a lot, devs should quickly implement this along with indicators of other players location on the map.

This could be an “Unlockable” upon buying the Map from the Merchant outside of the Tavern and when players press “M” it will pull up and even allow for each player to ping the map.

You could do it FOG of WAR style of what has been explored so far and when the map is interacted with at the Tavern, it can be updated with other players kinda like Valheim, Core Keeper, and other map sharing games do it.

A map would be nice, I made a post about it earlier, though mine was more a map for deliveries. A little horse drawn wagon with a chest and map for plotting deliveries.
{though there is a little homing button that while turned on will always show a marker for the tavern and other players :D}

As an addition to this suggestion, make it a held item without durability. Maybe make it so that you can see any location based objectives, and where other players are. Also make a wall hanging version.
