I had the urge to revisit this gem and I'm thrilled to hear you're still working on the sequel! I'll be looking forward to it no matter when it comes out :)
(Minor bug report - after beating the game, if you start a new game/continue without first exiting the program, the knight's movement speed and the speed of the text will be significantly slowed, leading to everything being desynced e.g. during cutscenes)
