Hiya - one of the goals I started with when making Aftersoul was to try and create some fleshed out, slow burned party members. It's simply beyond my scope for the game to try and handle all the iterations of scenes w/ any number of party members present or excluded - but I agree that it would be nice to see such a system. Regardless, I hope you understand that a main goal of mine in regards to this game's development is to focus on a cast of characters. Act 1's focus is on Hunter. Act 2 will have a different crew member take the majority of screentime, and so on.
