Hi again! Your ideas are all very exciting and I am happy that you are keeping an interest in the project!
Currently I am working on putting more gameplay mechanics in (because I really want it to be more than just a visual novel/walking simulator). For example, Saving/Loading the game, and also an Inventory System so that you will be able to actually change your armor. So yeah... there is still a lot of work to do, but I will also try to progress the story and put new NPCs in.... stay tuned!
