I'm pleasantly surprised when returning to this itch page and saw that a lot improvements has been done already, good job!
I'm happy that you've read my feedback and aligned it with your vision of the game, as I said, take my feedbacks with a grain of salt, it's your game so you know about it the best.
I also respect you opinion on not wanting to use resource from others, but I just want to let you know that many of the resources (including the one I mention above) that are free to use in commercial games too, some of them only ask to be given the credit on the credit scene. But again, if you have decided to not use any outside materials then go for it.
I'll be waiting for the next update, I have some friends too who likes to play small rpg games on their free time, so maybe I can also give them to try your game next time and get their feedback too.
Good luck with your game and God bless!
