Thank you very much for the detailed reply. I always enjoy reading them, especially as you always manage to bring up ideas and spot certain inconsistencies. Consider those fixed. Some of the bugs you found were already fixed, the others have also been fixed. One typo was already found but I did change the other one. Corruption levels have been added to my notes and will get changed as well.
A small side note: Rose had no prenatal care, as her pregnancy was kept a secret.
Also, could be me but you might have forgotten Sophia/Lilly's Dark Paths and one of Sophia's Good Path events.
We're aware of that major inconsistency, it will probably get rewritten/remade because that's the easiest solution.
As for the map, we've run plenty of tests in various stages including what you suggested with various tweaks.
Making the map was no pusher over either and took lots of work.
Buildings got moved around, the coding had loads of tweaks, photoshop, and the list goes on.
I get that the change is quite major. We'll run some polls on it to see what the overall consensus is.
As for the journal, I wrote about that in the weekly update post through Subscribe Star. Basically, I just ran out of time as it's quite the project getting 400+ events 100% accurate so it got moved to 0.14. Especially with no possibility of testing before a public release, I'd rather not make major changes.
