Thank you. One of the pluses of Wolf is that despite having much smaller assets than RPG Maker, they all have 8 directional movement by default. I had to laugh a little at the bad end deaths suggestion, since the game I made after this one, Isolated Future World, leaned into that way too heavily and had a lot of other issues due to me trying to add survival and a complex story into a game in 10 days and I ended up unpublishing it until I can get it properly finished. Hopefully I can get a happy medium :)
Good luck finishing your game.
