Thanks so much for playing! Yeah, I had a lot of QoL ideas that I couldn't get ready in time for the jam ending.

I only changed to a recipe-based system a day before the end or so because the previous system felt much worse to play. Otherwise, recipes likely wouldn't have needed a specific order, and I was indeed planning to have a "table of contents" with quick links to chapters and pages in the book as well, so the player wouldn't need to sift through the entire book to view known recipes and materials.

I took a bit too long doing the backgrounds at the start of the jam instead of iterating on my core gameplay mechanic and figuring out how it should work while being fun to play :p at least I've learned that lesson now, haha.

Someday I hope to refine this into a full game, though I'll need to think on how to give the crafting more depth like Potion Craft.
