1) It's probably my notebook then. I will try on my other laptop and see if the problem persists. Thank you!
2) I am using the 0.8 file but I've noticed it autosaving every morning as I've continued. I'll keep an eye on it when I do my second run through on my other laptop.
3) To me as well! \o/
4) Oh no worries, like I said they weren't suggestions so much as me just being curious. Those game events would be fun! But don't overwork yourself. Definitely focus on completing the game. Maybe that's something you can add in post-release content after you've taken a well-deserved break. :) Good luck!
