Hey, thanks! I'm glad you liked the character writing so much. It was always a joy to write the next scene of dialog once the faces were already drawn (which is sometimes the opposite process with comics).
I might return to game-making one day, as it is a fun way to engage in storytelling to me.
There is no level-up system in this game, as I was experimenting with the idea of having only a skill-buy system. In the future, I might have the skill-buy system be purchased with XP points instead of with gold/silver.
