Thanks so much! It's wonderful to hear that it brings you the feelings that I hoped to capture with this project.
I absolutely would love to find the time to do more updates. Your suggestions are all very good; My plans were indeed to add more points of interest like the lookout tower (did you find that yet?), things like campsites, cabins, a big willow tree, a pond, just unique landmarks that would slowly allow you to familiarize yourself with where you are inside the forest. I would also really like to add a dog to walk with you and play fetch with. And I will definitely think about a way to save your progress.
