I... Hate how much I like this game...

some suggestions, although do keep in mind that I'm only at my first winter and I progress somwhat slow, so maybe its already in the game or planned and i haven't encountered it.

1: The ability to rotate furniture items.

2: Stairs and the ability to build up a level for your house or buildings.

perhaps more active NPC's? it does feel wierd that I have a stone house and most workbenches, and multiple farms while some of them do nothing but sit in their wooden house all day. seeing how much progress Hughes made, for example, I was half expecting all of the NPC's to progress like him within their interested fields. but once the NPC's get a house, they mostly just stay inside all day. Riley and the Tamer (Iris?) being the exception. although maybe I have to help them at the start in order for them to do more on their own. or maybe because I'm playing on a bad laptop, the code will only have a few NPC's do things so there is less running in the background? I don't know... 

fun game though, I dislike how much I like it.

There's no need to hate liking a game! That just means it's fun (yay)!

1. Which furniture specifically would you like to be able to rotate? It'd be a little tricky to rotate crafting stations with the crafting animation, but I could certainly see rotating bookshelves.

2. This is a planned feature, although probably not soon.

I'm still working on the NPC logic (and relationship stuff) - the reason you see Riley out and about is because the farming logic is one of the few that is done. You do have to complete quests with them to help them unlock higher levels in their skills, but they should be able to do basic tasks, and barring that, wander around instead of staying home all day!

When I made the comment, I was thinking everything, but yeah, I can see how it would be difficult, I'd assume you would have to redraw all of the sprites and animations, but tables, beds, bookshelves, and all of the purely decorative furniture items would be nice. (I know beds aren't decorative.) Id also like to see a dedicated pause button at some point.

Iris, (the Tamer) and Riley, (the farmer) are the only ones I see ever actually leave their house and do something. but could they die randomly? I remember I was looking for Iris at one point and couldn't find her at all, or her pet, I assumed she died, only for her to be there the next morning. I only mention this because maybe its a bug? characters disappearing randomly for a whole day?

Yeah, the sprites would need to be redrawn (and the player would need sleeping directions to rotate beds). But I think beds, tables, and bookshelves are worth rotating - maybe a few more.

NPCs can die, and they revive the next day same way you do - I'm thinking of adding a gravestone where you can ask death about it to make it clearer.
