Daggerfall! That's a blast from the past. I only ever tried that in DOSbox and it ran like a dog. Should maybe give it a go again, now that PCs are a lot faster.
Anyway, glad you liked it. For the "no apparent joins", I simply cheated and pre-loaded all the sections. Before I did that, there was a noticeable bump each time you got to the Devilish Shoppe. The memory footprint is pretty low overall, so pre-loading just helps everything feel smoother.
I put the saving notification in the middle as it appears at a point where it will not interfere with anything happening in the game. But yeah, point taken.
Glad to see that I am not the only one to think of doing a typing game. It just seemed so obvious to me that I thought there would be lots more.
