Thank you for playing and taking the time to give detailed feedback!
I like getting feedback from players be it good or bad, otherwise it's difficult to gauge what people like or what could be improved or done differently - so I very much appreciate you taking the time to do that.
I agree with you on the RTP but I had to make a design choice with the time I had available and we all know the RTP is all set up to use so I plumped for this rather than having to take extra time to mix and match up custom stuff and potentially miss the deadline. That said I did try my best to make the environs detailed and varied as so to appeal more to the player.
Same can be said for the portraits of the three boys at the start. It would have just taken up too much time to render up custom looks and emotes for three characters that don't have too much screen time. That said I do take your point and wholeheartedly agree that it could cause some confusion as to who is speaking at any one time and thus break the immersion.
Glad you liked the little touches I put in there. All the best with the jam and your future projects!
