I just discovered this game today and played it all day. I still have days where I wake up missing Breeding Season, so I was happy to find your work here!
a small thing I've noticed that could be a Quality of Life improvement, "hover over" info for XP and affection points, to explain what they do and how they work, like with traits. a few control tweaks would be nice, too, like placing navigation options all together near the bottom of the screen, or making them keyed to arrow keys as a shortcut
Also, since your main character and Cece can't be discarded or sold, I kind of feel like they shouldn't count towards your barn's monster limit, since it seems they both have rooms in the house proper.
I realize the project is still under construction, but I'm eagerly looking forward to more animations and variety being introduced to the characters available.
