I very much appreciate the feedback! Also, the controls were different from what? The controls are displayed to the player right before you gain control of the character, not sure if that's what you're referring to. Also, I don't remember adding c, or v as controls for anything.
The sister and the mother aren't actually fighters, so you can't add them to your battle team. They're only support/follower npcs. Only certain characters you meet in the future will be able to enter battle along side Kurtis. You can tell which characters can enter battle by looking at their stats.
I hope so too 😄 it'll be a lot of work, but I'll keep at it.
Dang it, I thought I fixed that pesky duplication glitch. Guess I'll have to go back and do some more testing. Guess the best thing to do then is to reload your game after you save.
