haha I'm glad you liked Bob, he started as a joke and then became part of the game. Yeah there's not much you can do with grandma's cat, I didn't manage to program any real interactions with him. And yeah you're right, it's definitely influenced by Stardew Valley... I like how in Stardew the music just kind of randomly starts but doesn't play in a loop. Next time I think I should add some rustling leaves or other sound effects to play after the song finishes so it's not just complete silence.
Thank you for your in depth commentary!
