I know you said this was more gameplay focussed on Twitter but even so the lack of dialogue is definitely felt. At least from what I've played so far. You basically have 20 days to prepare for the boss rush with not a whole lot of ways to talk or interact with Slim other than tastetesting. It kinda feels like you have to figure it all out yourself with no real direction. Which is fine if that was the point. But having no real way to interact with Slim prior to the town protection events really hurts since you can't exactly level her up prior to the swarms. Which means those 7 points is all she's got. Maybe I'm just dumb though and not really thinking enough outside the box?

She can be leveled up in normal battles if you complete the first two taste testing practices with her!
Though, it's easier said then done, haha.
Each day, talking to Deko in the forest during the 'morning' time slot earns a bit of cash early on to perhaps scout Slimjarg earlier. More so if you upgrade Deko a bit with common weapons.
Alright. I'll give that a go then. I also don't want to be completely negative. While the day/night cycle seems to get a little out of alignment sometimes, this is definitely the most stable of your games yet. I definitely dig what you're doing with the combat in this one too with the energy stacks.
Alright, I managed to do it. It's definitely not easy to do but grinding adventurers helped a lot with wracking up the money. Also, Aha/Dark Ritual/Haste makes for a very good combo once you get violet weapons. Defend also seems to work as far as filling the violet requirement it seems but it also doesn't seem to be super consistent when it wants to work. On one more related note, cooking seems to confuse the passage of time. Or at least how Rest works.
