I've been working on my little test game and man I can see why these updates take time. Coming up with what to write can be a challenge as well as tedious. I will say though that I properly looked at what you do for the cave/exploration sections and its smarter then how I decided to do it. Would probably adopt it if I do other things.
Edit: I just finished my first girl (woo) but through this test I noticed something about battles specifically. Due to the <<if>> statements involved in how it works, the text keeps moving up in down in spacing. And this isn't just me, I just now noticed it in this game also.
Example (from me):
Also look its da girl. Chainsaw can probably see what I mean by them doing the exploration in a smarter way then me.
