Christmas was nice hope the same for you.
If thats not possible ill just drop the idea for the sandbox mode entirely, however that remains to be seen until i complete the writing and mapping of the next arc of the story(which is one of the parts I've been excited about writing for this story)
That's fair its your game after all but to be honest other than a coding exercise most Sandboxes don't offer much that couldn't be done with a simple menu to the players, The story and pictures are far more important. The longer you keep the sandbox going the more technological debt you are accumulating, tho. Meaning the longer you wait the worse gets the work you need to do for a switch to VN.
