Does he really have footsteps? Well I got a little close to him just ONCE, but not too close, so probably the reason I didn't hear them. Maybe you could make the footsteps possible to be heard from even further away.
And I respect you dedicated a day to the sound engineering, I also love to work on the audio side of a game. Didn't really have time to do it this jam tho, sadly.
Idk, nice to hear you plan on updating it !!
