Thanks for playing :) Yeah I played with the walking speed some and could never find a right speed really. I think I have some good things to add to it once the jam is done, making the walking more interesting and changing where the items are some.
Yeah 100% it spawns when you talk to them, I didn't wnat to do an inventory of items so that was my work around I guess, the walkign to the items is rough though, speically with nothing else really to do.
