Hey,
Lots of questions relevant to lore will be answered when I've nailed the core gameplay down a bit further and have a demo that gets into some actual dialogue.
I'll make the washing/pooping interval a bit larger next demo. I kind of added in the feature in but it doesn't affect anything *yet* so I apologize if that stressed you out. The pet will grow and evolve (and evolve into different evolutionary branches depending on how well you take care of them). Perhaps he will get sick, too. I think the next demo I'll have the pet features fleshed out a lot more and they should feel more impactful (and hopefully fun).
The scarcity will be better in later demos and the full release. Right now my demos are just big maps to test out stuff in so there's infinite items in the vending machines.
And thank you for finding that bug; It's something to do with the camera clipping into objects and occlusion culling I'm sure. It shall be noted down and fixed in DD66!
Thank you for all your kind words. I appreciate them and the bug you found.
