Any bugs you find would be a great help. Thank u for the assistance. The time limit is per chapter, but more quests, enemies, and events are planned, so while barren now, I am working on more and more stuff. For the skills, they worked for me but maybe it's a bug. I'll look into it. I won't say anything related to the story since it can or will get into spoilers.
For the "lack of motivation", I have a full time job, and this is a side project, at least for now. It just takes me some time to work on the game a bit and some stuff did get in the way or production. I have only so little time in my day I can actually dedicate to the game. However, that doesn't mean I want to stop. I'm going to keep working on it.
Thank you so much for your input. Hope you enjoy the next update when I can get it out.
