Been a while actually. Great to hear your still continuing work on this project, as a huge Kirby fan, I always love some cute lil creatures.
Scope creep is a realy nasty thing. I've seen it get to my friends alot in their endevors, and vsome even constantly restart development for many factors (said scope creep, style change, bored with current state). Its always a good idea to take notes to help you keep the scope in mind.
Here's hoping for the best, I'm rooting for ya
