nitrolith I hope when you finish the game you'll either play it out yourself or pay a few fans or something to try to test the game to make sure there are no bugs.
As someone who played from update to update since the beginning there are too many bugs that happen that needed fixing, and the last thing people want is to open the gallery and despite being thorough to see that there are multiple missing scenes that they didn't unlock for some reason, missing content.
Other than that, don't get bogged down with implementing some complex combat mechanic later on if you plan to and keep adding these great events with characters you can trigger whenever you want in the sandbox.
It's also good that you're still here interacitng with the community unlike most other devs who taste some success, a game is only a game and it's temporary, but developer reputation is everything.
Keep things I talked about above in mind and keep up the good work. Cheers!
