I know you're already working on v0.53, but I had an idea for a new male character named Kai.
Kai would be a slim, tall guy with jet black hair and dark blue eyes, and would mix character traits from August, Ryan, and Kate. He'd have a similar sense of style to August, Ryan's kind, but competitive attitude, and Kate's innocence all in one character.
I've really been enjoying the game so far and a character like Kai, I think, would be a good way to add another Male character who isn't a psycho like Matt, or a possessive maniac like Damien, and is more of just a good guy.
