Thank you so much for your feedback! This is a setting I've been kicking around in my head for a few years now and I thought it would be fun to try to make a little game in that setting for the jam. I had never done a town scene before, and ended up fussing on so many collision and layer details on the town map I didn't end up implementing most of what I wanted to (like the entire action scene I had planned for the wagon duty second half). I Also ended up spending a lot of time developing the systems for both the town scene, as well as the entire action scene which didn't come to fruition, and as a result I ended up kind of teaching myself Ink and writing most of the dialogue during an all-nighter right before the jam ended.

I'm really happy with the response to the story, characters, setting, and dialogue, considering how much of that dialogue was written last-minute no-sleep. Getting #19 in Story despite my inability to manage my dev time and fully execute my ideas has inspired me, and I'm really thankful for that response. I agree that JRPG-style games suffer from a lack of older protagonists! It's not like we humans get (completely) uninteresting after hitting 25! Anyhow, I plan on continuing on and expanding this setting with these characters, and hope people look forward to it!
