You're in luck, as one of the two redheads in the game, actually does work at the Inn.
However I'm not sure about dedicating time on a patch yet, since basic game development has not finished.

Amelia will offer to teach you after raising her Affection to a certain level.
I will start working on a Walkthrough for 0.1 and it will most likely be up today.

Since its my first time working on a project like this, I figured that stretching the game out might make it a little bit more realistic (as realistic as time travel can get, at least). I didn't want the game to be overly sexual from the beginning I guess. I will play around with the ways to earn gold and try to balance it out on the next update, which also will include Romance for more characters.
Also, thanks for reporting the bug, I'll check it out.

Thanks for that. Yeah, a patch does not quite fit in the game plan I think (now that I played a bit of the game), but, as you said, maybe, you can find a way to fit it in down the road later. The women are super hot and beautiful, and I do hope things get a little raunchy at the tavern, especially with that hot redhead, lol (love redheads). Love to see where you are taking this. I'll be following. I do think the tavern lady should wear something a little more enticing to attract more customers, don't you think? Just food for thought.

Oh dude you're in for a treat.
Amelia and Gwen are the only girls in this version with Romance Screens. Also, there are unlockable outfits. Nothing too crazy yet, but more will be added with time.

Ooooh baby, I'm riding with you, pal. Take us to the Promise Land of Corruption. Muah!!!
Understood and it is common in many games, but first impressions are important and better to address issues early. In particular, the already noted mechanic when out of energy should probably go straight to MC home instead of having to click the map and get the additional messages about being tired that needs another couple of clicks to continue.
Assuming there is one, it would be nice to have a max stat display, like 0.50/100, so we have a relative idea how much we have progressed with each girl or ability. Similarly, a progress bar or at least an end of current content indicator for each girl. The current end of content notices are fine, but it is easy for forget after a while, so having it on the main stats page would be nice.
Possible bug: I don't recall a price display for outfits, so not sure I'm able to afford them or not.

The max Affection is 20 for all characters. Your idea is actually easy to implement and sounds helpful to have, so I will have it ready for 0.2.
About the outfit prices, you're right, both shop keepers need you to click on each outfit to reveal its cost. Maybe now is a good time to say that the shop is the first thing being reworked with images and overlays instead of plain text. I've made good progress on it and I'll probably share some screenshots tomorrow.
Thanks again for all the feedback!
Is the Elowen's Identity quest supposed to repeat? When I completed it. it appeared twice on Miriam's quest display and it keeps appearing as an option, even though I finished it.

Bugs
=+.75 for 2nd tier blacksmithing should be +=.75. As it is, it resets your smithing once you finally reach 25. Same problem on the 3rd tier (smithing 50). And the final tier does not deduct energy, is that intended? I actually think having 4th tier cost only 1 energy would be a good reward if not.
Asking Sister Evelyn to change outfit causes the inn's talk options to be displayed until you exit the house.
Suggestions:
*Perhaps link some scenes with the smith's daughter to smithing progress so grinding doesn't feel so repetitive.
*I think it's wise for you to avoid trying to emulate medieval speech if you're not an expert. I'd just at some put something in that handwaves away anachronisms as part of the time-travel device (maybe it alters your perceptions to compensate for speech differences and that's why it's out of juice?).
*I vote for having more pubic hair on most models. While modern speech is suspension-of-disbelief-able, I'm always a bit disappointed when ostensibly olden-days females all have brazilians (at least you're already better than that). I realize I may get outvoted on this and understand that it's probably too much work to have two variations for each model.
*I agree that the default "return" screen should be the village map and that there should be a sleep and work button on there.
*Please do the religious girl justice. I'll be happy to give feedback since I have some (non-expert) interest in that period's heresies/religious views, but please don't let her just be that usual religious trope girl with no depth. I'll say it's looking good so far.
*Affection level for the relevant woman at least viewable inside their house.
All in all, great job! I'm a fan of the models you're using and I appreciate the effort you've put into writing, both in straight up quality and in the variations for conversations. Even though I gave myself 100 gold rings, I still read the talk variations because they were well-done.

Bugs have been noted and will be fixed within the day. Thanks for reporting them. Your suggestion about the 4th tier sounds good and will most likely be implemented.
About your suggestions:
⦁ Smithing progress will play some part in the ending for Path 1, so I would like to keep it separate from any of the characters. Another user mentioned Monogamy being a feature of the game, and I would like to explore that, so I'll keep it its own thing for now.
⦁ I tried to avoid the characters speaking in completely modernized English to be honest. And of course, I'm no expert, but if a line is annoyingly wrong, my DM's are always open and I can always rewrite it. The time-machine idea is good and it will probably be mentioned and explained in future updates.
⦁ This could be a patch in the future (even though I have no idea how to even create a patch) but it will probably be towards the end of development. There are so many things to improve and implement right now, so I don't think that I should prioritize it.
⦁ Well, by popular demand, I will try to change the Return Screen to the map for the next version, so that you guys can decide which one you prefer, both for better user experience and for the pace of the game.
⦁ Honestly, Evelyn is the only character that I probably would swap/remove from the game. Not saying I will. I just thought I had a somewhat good idea, but over time I’ve started to feel like she might not fit as well as I’d hoped. Still, if anyone wants to pitch an idea, here or in DM's, I will be more than happy to listen to it. That is, as long as people don't expect me to do everything they suggest.
⦁ Never thought of that, not going to lie. Sounds practical so I will put it on the list for 0.2.
Overall, thanks for the praise and feedback. This helps me make the game better for everyone and I hope that people continue to come up with good and useful comments/ideas.

There could be I guess. No such thing is planned to be honest, but I'd like to expand towards that if the right opportunity shows up.
As for "avoiding" certain content, I didn't think of this at the beginning of the project, but I guess I could check the possibility of toggling certain preferences on/off, but don't count on it coming soon as it probably requires some work.

Posting some of the attempts I've been making at redoing Beatrice's Shop overlays.
Hope these look good to y'all. I'm trying to replace the default Ren'Py 'text choice' menu whereverI can.
Some prices may have changed, but I'll try to somehow balance the income of gold in v0.2.
Inflation coming soon to Rivervale.

Personally, Memories, which is essentially a gallery, should be free and unlocked once you complete quests.
