A general feedback and discussion thread is never a bad idea!
So to answer the idea regarding combat, I do have an autobattler in the works that's gonna be worked into the game but it is in early development.
It will be using the girls stats as well as their own personal abilities to execute combat scenarios, I know the one in the game right now is literally just a percentage so that'll change!
The evolutions will be coming of course, the alpha which will have the first stage will be releasing publically here in September! It'll make it's apperance on Aug 17th on the patreon first though!
