Thank you for playing. You actually reached the end of the demo. Next time I ought to have a message there but I don't even have a game over screen yet.
I hadn't thought about input buffering, that could be good. From the feedback I've received I think it would be safe to make things faster in general. I was afraid to do that before having some sort of tutorial and a proper combat journal.
There will be more consequences for losing a fight later, but I haven't quite figured out fights yet...
Also, there should be a doorway at the smithy just like in every other building. That is a bug so thanks for telling me.
