Chess-like map reference

Postby mergedpanic » Tue Feb 27, 2018 7:35 am

As I was watching some youtubers play this game I thought to myself - I'd totally do some kind of co-op runs with a friend over Discord where one of us mans the mouse, shares his screen and we discuss moves/strategy. Then I thought it would be helpful if the game had the ability to display map square references (perhaps like in chess, A-H on one axis and 1-8 on the other). Was wondering if this is a planned feature by any chance.

Not a planned feature, but not a bad idea. I'll add it to my list of suggestions.

Just came here to suggest the same thing. It would be really helpful for chat interacting with streamers on Twitch.

I know that this won't solve the initial issue, but I just came across that idea as well and instead of using discord I use OBS to stream my session and let the viewers decide, what to do.

So I created the attached overlay. Maybe that helps a bit.
