Not read anything suggesting this, but what about having Shift + r cycle forwards through the save points in a room?

Currently, if I've saved say 20 times in a room (lucky me, lots of save points! ), and decide to go back to time x (12th save), I need to press r 8 times.

More often than not, I'll hit r too many times, then have to restore to the last save, and start hitting r again.

A way of scrolling the other way through the checkpoints would be great!

While you're at it, could we also have a hot key to restart the room entirely rather than having to 'r' through all our 20 save points?

Alt-r, for example...?

Thought about this last night, and was just about to add it to my request I find the esc-r-r sequence becoming slower and slower.

Maybe it could cache the intial room state locally for fast reset (would also reduce hits on the server if my assumption is correct in thinking that at least the room pic is stored remotely).

Syntax, krammer's answer indicates that is already in the game...

Game on,

Ok... I'll admit. That *did* fly straight over my head
My initial suggestion still stands though (I think )...

I've thought about doing this, then decided against risking getting an infringement lawsuit as soon as we release DROD: The Sands of Time.

Edit: I'm actually still thinking about it, cheeky jokes aside. I'll follow up if I ever implement this.

Or like in The Two Thrones, we could have good and evil save points to scroll across using a complex combo matrix of keyboard shortcuts
