    After testing the game in release 1, I mainly focused on the windmill. Which I look forward to inhabiting for real.

    I loved everything about it, but have two critiques.

    1- the white window frames inside are hideous... Look like some weird pigeon hole mail slots.
    Suggestions:
    - Lose the white, maybe a different wood tone or something.
    - Reduce the amount of vertical slats in the windows by half. (make the rectangles squares)
    I say this because unless you are dead on with the window, you cannot see outside. By opening up the rectangles, you could see outside from an angle and not just from dead center.

    2- Gears and spinning blades a bit on the loud side. Nice to be reminded you're in a mill, but don't want it to get annoying.

    Thanks

    I definitely agree with the loud spinning gears. It's still a lot better than the wizard tower though - that teleporter is obnoxiously loud.

    I loved the movement and the shadow the wind mill "blades" cast on the ground.

    Also the shadow it cast on my character as the blades moved was great.

    It seems very accurate.

    You don't often see functional wind mills in games. Nice to see.

    I got sick of the noise after a while. I think the spinning noise should only be heard when you are in the yard and not 2 houses down.

    Noisy neighbors? Call the cops! Perhaps they can reduce the noise radius for it? Maybe only hear it from the second floor of the windmill? I didn't have any problems with it though, but I didn't hang out by any windmills for any length of time either.

    Reduce the loudness the windmill makes and if it's a windmill then you should be able to mill something!

    I like the slower blade rotation speed. Seems all around smoother to be in. No more jumping camera issues when near the spinning shaft.

    I still feel like the noise of the rotating shaft is too loud.
    I wish the rectangles in the window frames were bigger so you could see outside easier and from more angles.
