Thanks Alex, glad you enjoyed my game. Yeah, the story part didn't get enough time in the end. 48h is rough when you have to create double the game level. But I'm taking notes on all the comments here, so I can develop it further. This is shanty is far from over for me :)
I have a background in photography, learned a little java based scripting in university but else nothing really of that sort. Visual scripting is really what propelled me forward, with some extra code here and there for some things like the health containers or the torch light flickering.
