Howdy!
Glad to hear that you're enjoying the game!
Much of the Patreon build progress at the moment is about establishing more of a story, gaining allies, and building towards the final confrontation. There's a ton of stuff planned, including multiple endings (Three major endings are planned so far, but there will likely be variants of those as well).
Thank you for taking the time to write out your thoughts. It really does help the development, since it makes me think about things I might not have considered overwise!
