Thank you for the incredibly helpful feedback! You're absolutely right about the NPC sounds – I'm already adding variations to break the repetition.For the v0.02 content: I'm currently working on a new monster and an item system (including those stamina candy bars). I have some rough sketches. If you're interested in horror-themed assets, I could send you the concepts in private messages. Your pixel art could really bring these sketches to life.The inventory idea is brilliant. That's exactly where item sprites (and maybe some UI) will be needed. You could just take a look and see which part seems most interesting for your portfolio.Let's discuss in private messages? Even your opinion as an artist would be invaluable.
P.S. Do you have Telegram or Discord for easier discussion?
