Just wanna ask if the Ghoul will eventually hunt me down at daylight or not, hearing the bridge guard and John's story about Ghoul is making me curious. I tried to ask the bridge guard about Ghoul after this sighting and after a Ghoul tried to attack me outside the beach's cave but he didn't say anything new. Maybe there is more Ghoul observing me but this is the only one that I managed to actually see clearly.

Those surface ghouls don't do anything right now, but yes. They will play more major role in future releases.
One of the bigger things I want to focus on in the future is to make the world more "real" and not just static setpiece.
There are some things that already change with time, like the bridge betting broken or the Villagers building the training grounds after one year passes, but I deffinitely want to add much, much more. And ghouls appearing on the surface over time is just one of those things.
That's the idea. There will be quite a few timed events that will require your input and the world will change depending on your action. This is already in the game in some way.
For example, more kobold groups will start appearing over the map as time passes. If you start killing them, then even more will appear.
Or the cure quest. If you finish it, the trader will survive and you will get a discount. But you can also completely ignore it. If you do so, the trader will die and he will be gone forever.
I have many ideas for timed quests or events, but I want to make the world bigger before I start working on them.
