Seems bizarrely fun, i kinda like this strange humor but I need a walkthrough because i'm stuck on the beginning of chapter 1, controls are super smooth and it seems bug proof, are you gonna change all 8bit sprites to a new style?
Yeah, the placeholders are mostly free vector art from this guy (great resource). The creatures are still placeholder. You can see examples of the actual art in the cave/grass tiles, torch, red button, other random items.
I found the first chip and the anime dude just went away, i jumped to the right side of the map found a slime blocking my way and found secret passages from the slime guarding at my house, at that point i just jumped around a lot because it was fun.
Good to know, maybe I'll drop another hint or something. You have to talk to an NPC named Landon in one of the houses. He tells you about how to deal with slimes (which also progresses the quest).
