Gotta say, there has been a long time since a story got that much investment out of me. Was checking this 'cause I was bored one night and ended up becoming a fan. Thought I would dislike half the cast when I started, but the way you went with the writing actually made me fond of all but one of them. Hoss went from "I bet I'll hate you by the end" to pretty much my favorite of the bunch, so you're definetely doing something very well on that front. Props for the great work!
Quick question: Do you plan on adding more character sprites? Having only one position with different faces can feel a bit too static at times. It's a minor thing, but I figured I'd ask anyway.
