Were you wondering what that giant gap in the middle of the Inventory screen was for? WONDER NO MORE! I implemented the Item Comparison tool today. It will need a little spicing up, but it's still pretty damn cool in its current state!
At any given time, you can select two different items in your inventory - one with your left mouse button and one with your right mouse button. (Think Portal!) The item comparison tool will tell you the rest! If you don't like what you see, sell your item or switch to another one. This also means that you can now hold onto items for safekeeping if you like them but don't want to use them. Don't worry -- the game's drop algorithm is smart and it will never give you more items than you can hold!
Comparing an Orphan Carver to something that's apparently much more powerful:
You can also compare the item you have equipped with other items. The Neglected Switch I started the game with was pretty terrible, as you can see.
While there is a clear-cut overall winner here, Swing will come in handy for certain fights, making this Average weapon actually outclass the Incredible one in some cases.
If weapons have multiple lines of one stat, the comparison tool automatically does the math for you -- so you don't have to.
Just some miscellaneous comparison to test the tool.
Things are starting to heat up here in Super Virgin Samurai land. This game is shaping up to be pretty well-rounded and we aren't quite at proof-of-concept stage yet!
