Hello there!!! Thank you for playing our game, and for streaming it, as well!
I am Akira-san, one of the writers and designers of We Carry the Light, as well as having written the script for the game.
The comments you made during the VOD are all quite valid, and it is quite true that we simply ran out of time, which made it so that most of our ideas for the project ended up not being implemented.
Regarding the roguelike system, we do have a pretty unique idea to give it a good spin on the normal ways these sorts of systems work, which we are going to implement, now that we have more time.
Regarding the fact that saving made it impossible to open up the menu, that was genuinely a bug, which we have taken measures to fix.
We're planning on releasing an update with more unique features added to the combat, to the levels and also to the general feel of the game, to make it less dependent on the default RPG Maker assets, as well as actually following up on the story, beyond the basic intro cutscene.
Once again, we all thank you warmly for your commentary, and we hope you enjoyed the experience, despite the current unfinished state of the game!
On behalf of all the wonderful people who worked on this project, I hope this message find you well, and I hope you have a nice day!
