I'm liking the game so far! The maps are huge and the puzzles I've seen are neat too! I also like how casual everyone is with Helm walking around, rather than being scared of him. Great game! I'm looking forward to playing more when I have the time :D
Oh, trust me! You would be able to finish this game long before I ever release the sequel.
The sequel will be all of my custom arts (so no rpg maker art tile assets), and it involves a battle system now. So it will be a while before I can finish it, but I'm determined to make it! Progress gets better with each passing day, so rest assured, do what you gotta do and take your time with college! :)
